UMS Lives! Plus, Proposed Fees for Alcohol and Even More Coffee Recs

2025 was potentially the final year of the Underground Music Showcase — ticket sales were down, money was tight, and the future of the fest was uncertain. But the RiNo Business Improvement District stepped in, Youth On Record sold its share, and now the fest will live in RiNo. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love discuss this new era and potential vibe shift for the 25 year-old event, plus dig into new legislation being proposed that could impact big booze manufacturers, and hear from listeners about their not-so-great RTD experiences. 

Bree mentioned this amazing list coffee shops from City Cast Denver listeners Nate and Marie Evans!
