The Ultimate Music Xperience, the official auditions for the Capitol Hill People’s Fair, returns to The Celtic Tavern and Delaney’s Cigar Bar (1801 Blake St.) March 28 and 29.
This free, two-day battle-of-the-bands features roughly 40 local, primarily undiscovered solo and group acts competing for the opportunity to play at one of the largest music events in the state: the CHUN Capitol Hill People’s Fair. Now in its 44th year, the People’s Fair has provided an opportunity for Colorado bands to make their impression on the local music scene. The 2015 People’s Fair is June 6 and 7 at Denver’s Civic Center Park.
New this year, the UMX will feature 40 auditioning bands between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. both days as well as a People’s Fair Veteran’s Music Showcase from 4 to 7 p.m. each day. Fan favorite bands from around the state such as Potcheen, Mojomama and others will entertain attendees in half-hour sets during the showcase.
“Each year we try to make fun and interesting changes to our events, and we are excited about the People’s Fair Music Showcase at the UMX,” said CHUN Executive Director Roger Armstrong. “We can’t wait to return to The Celtic Tavern to see great new bands and some of our long-time favorites.”
The UMX is a free event and includes prize giveaways throughout the weekend. The public is invited to be a part of a Colorado tradition, vote for their favorite acts and aid in the selection process for the 2015 People’s Fair musical line-up. The complete UMX schedule (subject to change) is available at www.peoplesfair.com.
