There may
be no larger, or more festive, congregation of tubas than during the
annual TubaChristmas, a tradition more than 30 years old. The concept
is simple: bring together as many tubas and euphoniums (baritones) as
you can find, and have them play one hour’s worth of Christmas and
other holiday tunes. “Silent Night,” “Deck the Halls,” “Silver
Bells” and maybe Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus.
Denver’s
TubaChristmas began in 1974 with a tuba player named Bill Clark.

Blue Million Miles: "Of Building Walls"
self-released, 2008
The songs on this debut full-length from Denver’s Blue Million Miles share a sense of urgency. Whether that is the heady swell of emotion of tense interpersonal situations, the uncontrollable current of feeling inside one’s own head upon sudden realizations or the headlong joy of being alive, the band is clearly not taking things at a snail’s pace.
