This Week In Concerts – Alice Merton, Dermot Kennedy, Lotus, Roy Blair and More

It’s the last full week of April folks and over the next seven days, you have over 60 concerts to choose from. The weather is starting to get better which is all the more reason to get out and see as many shows as you can. There are some killer acts coming through the Mile High City this week in addition to the amazing up-and-coming local bands and you have the chance to support. Take our list below and make it your own as you venture into this week in Denver concerts.

Monday, April 22
Recommended: Roy Blair @ Larimer Lounge

On Monday night, singer Roy Blair is bringing his electro-indie-pop sound to a sold out Larimer Lounge crowd. Blair’s music is known for its intriguing nature as it blends together a variety of genres. In 2017, Blair released his debut album Cat Heaven and more recently celebrated the release of his latest single “Dennis” back in 2018. Although we haven’t heard much from the artist in recent months, this show will be a good one to catch.

Sold out.*
