A city with a legacy and cloudy culture that has given us authentic artists for decades. Some known around the world who arrived on the shoulders of those like Mudhoney and the Sub Pop beginnings. It’s still hard to escape the bubble of grunge but maybe the next Seattle is just Seattle?

From the million year old rocks to intimate theaters, the mile high sound echoes and echoes. Maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the air but one can’t deny that there is a certain expanse in these jams and spaces unlike any in America. At this altitude the sound does strange things, man.

From street performers to Dave Grohl and Smashing Pumpkins, there is a reason why Warren Haynes’ home town is a hub for the artist and performer and why it makes this town what it is.
