Colorado Music-Related Business|

By Alex Kramer, 303 Magazine | Though Denver does not claim to compete with the likes of Nashville or L.A., the city is home to a thriving music community. From underground punk to experimental R&B, musicians run the gamut of genre in the city’s high elevation. Denver Music Community aims to stitch the scope of musicians together with their latest project — a Musician’s Classifieds page.

A year ago, during the initial run of quarantine, co-owners and co-founders Shaun Chapman and Bootz Fritz started a podcast discussing the local music community. The podcast featured advice for young musicians as well as Denver-oriented tips. From that podcast, the website was born with the goal of providing as many free resources for musicians as possible.

“It’s definitely hard to be able to find all those resources because they’re often scattered around the various parts of the internet,” Bootz said. “We really had this idea of providing those resources and gathering them all in one place for the community.”

A major element of the page is musicians helping other musicians. Once a post is made, the original poster can be contacted directly from the information provided. Musicians, photographers, industry folk, merch designers and whoever else are able to find each other in a mutually beneficial, free space. With 12 posts currently after launching only a little over a month ago, the classifieds page continues to grow.

Posts on the page currently feature musicians seeking collaborations with keyboard players, guitarists, drummers and bass players. Those offering services such as cassette duplication and event photography also grace the page. Whatever realm of the Denver music world a person comes from, they can find what they may be seeking in the classifieds.

Alex Kramer | Alex is one of many transplants drawn to Denver’s music scene and high altitude. She can get down to anything from Paramore to Lee Moses; Japanese Breakfast to Alabama Shakes; Bring Me the Horizon to Dua Lipa. There is nothing she loves more than listening to music for hours on end then writing some melody-addled, think-piece over the transcendental experience… except maybe writing music herself. Alex started her journalism career writing about social justice for her local college paper, continued on to edit arts and culture magazines and found her footing in music writing. The rest is history.
