“Road to Treefort” Tour aims to showcase Colorado artists throughout the region DENVER, CO. MARCH 9, 2015; Each summer The Underground Music Showcase hosts over 400 performances from local, regional, national and international artists at their 4 day festival in Denver’s historic Baker neighborhood. However, the UMS strives to support artists beyond their festival weekend and has recently introduced a new idea to do just that. Late this month the UMS will send 4 Colorado bands on the road as part of a package tour in and out of Treefort Music Festival in Boise where they will host a UMS day party during the fest.

Kendall Smith of the UMS offers some insight as to why they wanted to showcase Denver artists at Treefort, “From its inception, we, at UMS, have held Treefort in high regard. There exists a kinship. Likely, this is because of our shared missions to encourage music discovery and support emerging artists. We are pleased Treefort has opened its welcoming arms to Colorado musicians and The UMS.” The tour itself is a collaborative effort between artists, venues, promoters, and other supporters of music throughout the region with the intent of opening an “expressway” between markets to showcase artists and build relationships between scenes.

The UMS hopes to reactivate this route periodically throughout the year in and out of multiple festivals showcasing bands in each market and hopefully building lasting relationships that all involved can continue to benefit from. This inaugural run will feature Colorado artists (and UMS veterans); A. Tom Collins, Bud Bronson & The Good Timers, Ned Garthe Explosion & The Blue Rider alongside showcasing locals in each market.

The UMS day party at Treefort will also feature In The Whale. Dates & lineups for each market can be found below.
