The Wyoming Arts Council is partnering with the Underground Music Showcase for the second year in a row. The Wyoming Arts Council will bring 5 Music Ambassadors to perform at the festival, which will take place July 25-27th in Denver, Colorado. Each band’s participation includes participation in the Wyoming Showcase, an additional performance opportunity, 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: 

• Hillary Camino (Jackson)
• Speed The Pilgrim (Casper)
• De Gringo Y Gremmies (Laramie)
• Box Elder (Jackson)
• Cassandra Rose (Casper)

“We see the partnership with the Underground Music Showcase as an excellent opportunity to get our Wyoming based artists in front of new audiences and provide regional performance connections,” says Kimberly Mittelstadt, Creative Arts Specialist with the Wyoming Arts Council. 

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 25th 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.
