The year 2025 was abundant with compelling music from Denver and Colorado and of all the people I, Tom Murphy, talked to about local music the most avid listener was Vail from the band Monkey Man. As an active musician and someone who has hosted shows at a house venue, Vail has also explored well beyond immediate experiences as well as deep in the underground. So I asked Vail to select several and I would too and there was bound to be some overlap but I think what we were able to cover before it got too late to push the list further is a good slice of the current active underground that anyone would be able to track down and give a listen. Included below is a short playlist of what we talk about in a format that might be easiest for most people to access. A few artists either never had or pulled from Spotify, a decision which we respect. Hope you enjoy listening.
