Just an hour from Denver, the project was the brainchild of Todd Altschuler and Keegan Casey, who have operated the Barkley Ballroom in the mountain town for five years. Their goal was to create an upscale venue that would appeal to locals while also attracting tourists.
The design of 10 Mile incorporates a rustic industrial theme over two levels. The first floor includes a stage, bar and dance floor, and the second floor has a wraparound balcony providing additional concert viewing and a second bar. The venue boasts state-of-the-art lighting and sound and a rooftop deck that will be open in the summer from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, serving up Moe’s Bar B Que and offering a stunning view of the mountains.

The band's performance at 10 Mile was a perfect Halloween-week production: The musicians appeared on stage in costume and amped up the crowd with a high-energy performance.

“We have a number of bigger bands not announced yet, some of which will be doing three-night runs of concerts," notes Casey.
