Blankslate is one of the best indie bands in Denver to see live, and we just gave it a 2025 Best of Denver award for Best Indie Duo. The band, which formed with Tess Condron (drums, keys) and Rylee Dunn (guitar, bass, vocals) in 2018, puts on an energetic set that will have you amazed. And now Westword members have the opportunity to catch the band at our office on Thursday, April 10.

Last year, we offered a series of members-only concerts at the office, and we're excited to start a new season with this band. Doors will open at our office, 1278 Lincoln Street, at 6 p.m. on April 10 and Blankslate will perform at 6:30 p.m. A short Q&A with the band and music editor Emily Ferguson will follow the performance.

To attend the show, become a Westword member and then be on the lookout for an email invitation to the show. After you RSVP, you will receive a reminder the morning of the show. See you there!

About Blankslate

According to the band, "Blankslate was formed around the principle of transformation — a belief in the possibility to become. By culling elements of disparate influences ranging from folk to grunge to classic rock, the band has spent its six-year existence earning fans in Colorado and beyond with a uniquely crafted sound that serves as a tapestry upon which referential, diaristic lyrics and stories are interwoven. Blankslate's debut album, 'Summer on a Salt Flat,' received rave reviews when it was released in 2022 — its follow up, 'Lookout Mountain Charley,' is set to come out this year."
