The 2013 Ultimate Music Xperience (UMX) is a free, two-day battle of the bands where you can take part in deciding which of the local, primarily undiscovered, solo and group acts will play at one of the largest music events in the state: the CHUN Capitol Hill People’s Fair. This year, UMX is moving to a new location, the Celtic Tavern, and with prize giveaways, celebrity emcees, music, and fun, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.

The Celtic Tavern, located in LODO at 1801 Blake Street, offers a great menu from which attendees can order lunch or dinner while they jam out to an eclectic array of music. During UMX, attendees have a chance at winning one of several prize giveaways and rubbing elbows with celebrity emcees from 99.5 The Mountain. And if you want to continue the fun after the show, you won’t have to venture far thanks to the Celtic’s convenient downtown location.

Many local solo artists and bands including the up-and-coming acts Broken Tongues, Lindsay O’Brien Band, and Thief River will grace the stage and battle against each other. The roughly 60 acts throughout the two-day event provide attendees an exciting opportunity to get a taste of local Colorado talent. Attendees can show their support for their favorite acts and become a part of the selection process for the musical line-up for the 2013 People’s Fair. Every vote counts at UMX, and the acts are counting on you to help them get the winning vote.

“Once again, we are amazed at the caliber of talent of the bands who have applied to perform at the People’s Fair,” said CHUN Assistant Director Andrea Furness. “We are looking forward to seeing 60 of the highest scoring acts (from our listening party) perform at the Celtic in LODO.”

Come and be a part of a Colorado tradition! The 2013 UMX is on March 23 and 24 from 11am-5pm, both days.
