The Moderators

The Moderators are what you could call an accomplished group on many levels. Comprised of CEOs who networked their talent to perform during a Young President's Organization event, the band has evolved into one of Denver's most respected and admired cover bands. The group holds practice sessions in an airport hanger at Centennial Airport which befits their niche genre of high-flying classic rock that reaches as far back as the 60s. The Moderators offer much more than just audio entertainment however. In 2011 alone, the group's charitable contributions topped out at around $500,000. Because of their philanthropic focus, you will primarily find The Moderators performing at charitable events across the metro area as well as at some private corporate events.

Under A Blood Red Sky

Under A Blood Red Sky got its start in 2005 by focusing the group's efforts on recreating U2's legendary 1983 album, "Live At Red Rocks." In turn, the band was given the opportunity to perform for a sold-out audience at Denver's Paramount Theater that New Year's Eve. The performance launched the band squarely into Denver's vibrant music scene and the members have since expanded their song catalogue to cover all of U2's musical evolutions and eras. Under A Blood Red Sky has truly captured the spirit and essence of U2 and if you are a fan of the UK-based group, check out Under A Blood Red Sky's next show.
