The Wyoming Arts Council is launching a new partnership with the Underground Music Showcase. The Wyoming Arts Council will bring 5 Music Ambassadors to perform at the festival, which will take place July 26-28th in Denver, Colorado. Each band’s participation includes two opportunities to perform over the course of the festival, as well as access to UMS’s Impact Days, which are two days focused on providing professional development opportunities for the participating artists.

The five participating Music Ambassadors include:

Missy Jo (Jackson)
SGRNY (Laramie)
Christian Wallowing Bull (Lander)
It Gets Worse (Laramie)
Shotgun Shogun (Laramie)

As part of the Wyoming Independent Music Initiative (WIMI), this collaboration is aimed at assisting artists in performing and touring beyond state borders, thereby expanding their audiences and outreach.

The Underground Music Showcase is Denver’s largest and most beloved music festival and is set to take over Broadway for its 24th annual event. Featuring three outdoor stages and an additional 13 indoor stages, the festival offers a total of over 200 shows. UMS showcases a diverse range of musical genres across various venues, providing a vibrant and dynamic experience for attendees.
