With the weather warming up already, students are seeking opportunities to get off campus. Luckily, next month there is a great lineup of concerts in the Denver area to attend.
As usual, there are countless artists and groups coming to perform, from the old to the new, at different venues in Denver. A few big names will come through in March, three of which are Charlie Puth, Carrie Underwood and Bruce Springsteen.
Charlie Puth recently released his debut studio album “Nine Track Mind,” and he is most famous for his songs “Marvin Gaye,” “See You Again” and “One Call Away.” He will perform at 8 p.m. on March 9 at the Bluebird Theater in Denver. The Bluebird is one of Denver’s most unique music venues—it was built in 1913 and has been showcasing music ever since. Entertainment company AEG Live took it over in 2006 and made some amazing upgrades and expansions, as well.
Carrie Underwood—American Idol winner, songwriter, actress and award-winning recording artist—will make an appearance at the Pepsi Center on March 30 at 7 p.m. Underwood has been an active artist for over ten years now and she only continues to gain popularity: she recently performed at the 2016 Grammys, and she was also awarded a plaque to commemorate 20 million albums sold. She is on her “Storyteller Tour” and will likely draw a large crowd.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at the Pepsi Center, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. As a winner of 20 Grammy Awards in total, Springsteen has been successfully performing rock and folk music since 1965. It is no wonder that, like Carrie Underwood, Springsteen will play at the Pepsi Center, which holds over 18,000 people.
Other well-known artists playing nearby in March include Carly Rae Jepsen (Gothic Theatre, March 5, 8:30 p.m.) and Ben Rector (Ogden Theatre, March 8, 8 p.m.). Denver will also host some newer and rising groups next month, like Daughter (Bluebird Theater, March 15, 8 p.m.) and Ron Pope + The Nighthawks (Bluebird Theater, March 8, 8 p.m.).
People should take advantage of all the opportunities to experience music, be it during the school year or on break.
