    Interview with Whitacre @ UMS 2019

    With a quarter of a million streams on Spotify, sold out shows with Mt. Joy, Susto and Birdtalker in 2018 and 100+ other performances under their belt, Whitacre is a group blurring the lines of folk, indie rock and bluegrass music. Their brand of folk-rock combines thought-provoking lyrics and high-energy live performances that led to tours with Family and Friends, Wilderado and Wild Rivers. Whitacre recently partnered with producer, Joe Richmond (of Tennis, Churchill) on a 5 song EP ‘Within The Mountains’ Shadows’ that was released at a sold out headline show in Denver, Colorado.More about Whitacre:https://whitacreband.com/ (https://whitacreband.com/)http://instagram.com/whitacreband (http://instagram.com/whitacreband)https://www.facebook.com/whitacreband/ (https://www.facebook.com/whitacreband/)https://twitter.com/whitacreband (https://twitter.com/whitacreband)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPN51x_Tr7YkR8gOuGyYXJA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPN51x_Tr7YkR8gOuGyYXJA)https://open.spotify.com/artist/7yzDCah6uCgSTr6JLgm59F (https://open.spotify.com/artist/7yzDCah6uCgSTr6JLgm59F)https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-at-the-fox-theatre/1297829738 (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-at-the-fox-theatre/1297829738)The Underground Music Showcase:https://www.undergroundmusicshowcase.com (https://www.undergroundmusicshowcase.com)Loudspeaker™ is an independent 24/7 streaming radio station and podcast network focused on telling the stories of underserved and minority communities.

    Interview with Zach Maxwell @ UMS 2019

    We had a chance to chat with up-and-coming Denver pop artist Zach Maxwell at the 2019 Underground Music Showcase. We talk about the Denver music scene, Zach's impressions of UMS, moving from New York to Colorado, his inspirations as an artist, and more.Zach Maxwell is a producer, songwriter, dancer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. By producing his own music and playing all the instruments in his tracks, he has been able to create that sound that he was searching for: melodies and production that are infused with influences from gospel, sacred music, hip-hop and pop, all with the underlying intention of connecting people to something greater than themselves. A sound that uplifts audiences and creates magic in the room. His music feels both ear-catchingly familiar and uniquely unexpected. Music that makes you want to think and feel. Music that makes you want to get down. Music for life.Watch the interview on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM_G83gPZPA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM_G83gPZPA)More about Zach:https://www.zachmaxwellmusic.com/ (https://www.zachmaxwellmusic.com/)http://instagram.com/zachmaxwellmusic (http://instagram.com/zachmaxwellmusic)https://www.facebook.com/zachmaxwellmusic/ (https://www.facebook.com/zachmaxwellmusic/)https://open.spotify.com/artist/12wNS5wJKe00LTz8e6dVaK?si=ZEc50eAMRke9mVEz-CVwZA (https://open.spotify.com/artist/12wNS5wJKe00LTz8e6dVaK?si=ZEc50eAMRke9mVEz-CVwZA)The Underground Music Showcase:https://www.undergroundmusicshowcase.com (https://www.undergroundmusicshowcase.com)Loudspeaker™ is an independent 24/7 streaming radio station and podcast network focused on telling the stories of underserved and minority communities.
