DeVotchKa (Denver, CO)
Headlining the opening night of music, DeVotchKa brings a cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe. This Colorado-based quartet formed in Denver, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor. They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy nominated soundtrack to the hit film Little Miss Sunshine. In 2008 they reached #9 on Billboards Heatseekers chart followed up by a world tour featuring stops at Bonnaroo, Lollapoolza and Bumbershoot. Front man Nick Urata has continued doing film scores for such films as Crazy Stupid Love, Paddington, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and Netflix’s own Series of Unfortunate Events. This will be an incredibly unique opportunity to see one of rock and rolls most eclectic touring acts.
