Denver Arts Events July 20-26

This summer, despite it all, artists are continuing to show up and push the envelope, even if life on the ground is a little more bleak and this week, they’re mostly doing so through music. If I could enjoy seven shows, performances, events, or exhibitions this week, this is what I’d do. Enjoy.
