Charlie Stevens Band and Wes Urbaniak Team Up for a One-Night-Only Performance.
Two distinct voices in independent music—Charlie Stevens Band and Wes Urbaniak—are joining forces for a split bill performance at Swallow Hill Music on Thursday, November 6th.

Known for their heartfelt lyrics and genre-bending sounds, both acts bring something special to the stage. The Charlie Stevens Band blends Bluegrass with rootsy Americana, while Wes Urbaniak offers a more experimental, storytelling-driven style. Together, they promise a night of authentic music, good vibes, and community connection.

“This isn’t your average gig—it’s a celebration of artistry, collaboration, and the kind of live music that sticks with you,” says the band. “If you're into thoughtful lyrics, rich harmonies, and musicians who truly love what they do, this one’s for you.”

Swallow Hill Music, a long-standing hub for acoustic performance and musical discovery in Denver, is the perfect setting for an evening of stripped-down, soul-deep sound.

Tickets are available now at swallowhillmusic.org or at the venue’s box office.

Doors 6:30 PM - Show 7:00 PM

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we share this news with you, but in times like this, community support is everything, and Brightwood Music in Nederland needs us. They have lost everything. The link below will take you to their GoFundMe page. Our hearts go out to the other businesses who have lost their livelihood as well. We should all do what we can in the coming days. 🙏 No one was hurt, the rest we help them rebuild.
