Something Underground
Thursday, June 16
6:30-9 p.m.
Something Underground has been a part of the Colorado music scene since 2000. The band is fronted by brothers Seth and Joshua Larson, who have been performing on stage since they were old enough to speak. Drummer Trevor Mariotti is the perfect backbone of the band, not only for his monster chops and impeccable timing, but also because he intuitively reads and responds to Joshua and Seth’s unspoken musical queues as if he were the third brother.
The members of SUG have deep-rooted connections to music inspired by everyone from The Beatles to Bruno Mars. Their experience and their broad range of musical styles gives them the ability to genuinely connect with people from all walks of life. This is this sense of connection and community that takes their shows from a musical performance to a point of connection.
Among other honors, Something Underground has had the great joy of playing on the Red Rocks stage three times.
The band tours nationally and regularly supports in- and out-of-state non-profits, and their dedication to collaboration, connection and creation doesn’t stop there. The band maintains a genuine and straightforward message of gratitude and love through their music and their connections to fans and other musicians without resorting to syrupy-sweet dogma.
Funded in part by a grant from Colorado Creative Industries, their 2016 “Live” album showcases the energetic stage performances, unique takes on familiar pop songs and surprising way of juxtaposing originals with recognizable covers that Something Underground has become known for. Their 2015 studio EP “Confessions,” a collaboration of Grammy-nominated producer/writer Elan Morrison and Something Underground, is a raw and powerful testament to their musical evolution.
The Junior Varsity Three (JV3)
Thursday, July 21
6:30-9 p.m.
The Junior Varsity Three (or JV3), is Denver’s premier 90s tribute band. The trio, consisting of tight vocals, drums, bass and guitar, specializes in sing-a-long, pop-rock 90s favorites from bands such as Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms and Sublime, but also include Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182, Green Day and Nirvana. (As well as many, many more).
Since having formed in 2007, The JV3 is approaching having played one thousand shows, which includes everywhere from Texas to Wyoming and ranging from high-end corporate events to music festivals, weddings, music venues, bars and backyards. Along the way they have opened up for Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, and Young M.C. They have been named as one of the top ten best cover bands in Colorado by Westword Magazine and have consistently played pre-game events for the Colorado Avalanche NHL team.
The Junior Varsity Three is on a mission to bring 90s back into your life.
