Estimated read time 3 min read

Proud of their musical heritage in their neighborhood of Five Points, Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom and The Other Side book music for Denver’s more adventurous listeners. Looking for the next big thing, they often book artists that are difficult to categorize. Last Thursday’s line-up is a prime example, as a one-man band Zach Deputy, playing his self-proclaimed “Island-Infused Drum n’ Bass Gospel Ninja Soul” opened up for See-I, an equally diverse DC super group that features members of Thievery Corporation.

Estimated read time 3 min read
