While many were relieved to see the Underground Music Showcase live on, others saw a betrayal of Broadway.
—
The announcement that the Underground Music Showcase will move from its longtime home on Broadway to the River North Arts District swept through Denver on Monday, drawing reactions from relief to eye-rolling and even allegations of betrayal.
The move marks a notable departure from the festival’s origins on Broadway, the corridor that became known as the city’s independent music center. Instead, the festival will be held across several streets in RiNo, a district that has attempted to mesh corporate retail and food attractions with warehouse galleries and local art.
