The 10th Annual UMS Conquers Denver!
The Underground Music Showcase, or better known to locals as The UMS, took Denver by storm this year as it celebrated its 10th anniversary. And after 10 years, the festival brought its best talent, biggest turnout, and most memorable moments yet. It kicked off on Wednesday with Civil Twilight, Paper Tongues, and Neon Trees at the Bluebird Theater. Tragic Kingdom favorite, Neon Trees, and my new friend, lead singer Tyler Glenn, set the bar for an incredible Denver weekend. And once the festival began on South Broadway, it was non-stop madness.

Artist To Watch: Andrea Ball
Idol Insider is excited to bring you our new featured artist of the month, Andrea Ball. Ball is a self-described creative individual who “can’t seem to communicate the same way everyone else does”. Instead, she best communicates in beautifully crafted lyrics, telling a story with an arrangement, and expressing emotion with her performance, which is why the stage is where she feels most comfortable. And while she may feel “different from everyone else” at times, this is what makes Andrea Ball one of the music community’s most celebrated new stars.

But it was in his hometown where the very humble and grounded performer got to experience some of his new found popularity for, what seemed like, the first time. On Thursday night, he stopped by one of Denver’s premier venues, The Bluebird…
