List of Denver & Colorado Music Blogs – Updated 2026
We have such a great concert and music scene here in Colorado. From Denver and Boulder to Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and beyond, there are incredible local bands, venues, photographers, writers and people working to support live music across the state.
Luckily, we also have plenty of people documenting it all.
This list brings together Denver and Colorado music blogs, independent publications, magazines and other local music media covering Colorado artists, concerts, festivals and the broader music scene. Many also cover national touring artists when they come through Colorado.
I’ve been part of the Denver music community for more than 20 years, and I update this list periodically as publications launch, change, or stop publishing. If you know of an active Colorado music publication website I’ve missed, please let me know!

Colorado’s music scene continues to grow and change, and that’s a big part of what makes it so much fun to cover. From tiny clubs and DIY spaces to Red Rocks and our larger venues, there are always new bands to discover and incredible shows happening across the Front Range. The writers, photographers and independent publications above help document that community, support local artists and keep people connected to what’s happening. I’m proud to be part of the Denver music scene and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.
