Analog Salon #17

About this Event
Home and work feed our routines. A third space feeds our soul.
Third spaces, places that aren’t home or work, are vital community anchors. They’re where neighbors become friends and creativity grows. They give us room to breathe, to connect, and to be more than just what we do or where we sleep.
Analog Salon is one of those spaces in Denver. It’s a monthly vinyl listening party where music, memory, creativity, and connection meet under one roof. Analog Salon invites people to unplug, slow down, and share space through the crackle of vinyl and the honesty of personal storytelling.
Each Analog Salon unfolds in three intentional phases:
Social Mixer & DJ Sets (6:00–7:00 PM)
Arrive to a room full of groove-worthy vinyl, drinks, and good energy. Local DJs spin genre-crossing, vinyl-only sets to warm up the room and encourage curiosity and conversation.
Storytelling Through Music (7:00–8:00 PM)
We welcome a featured guest—someone with a story to tell and a record to match. It’s storytelling through soundscape, where the tracks that shaped their life become windows into shared humanity.
Chill Vibes & Marketplace (8:00–9:00 PM)
As the night winds down, guests mingle and browse our rotating Analog Marketplace—a place for local creators to showcase books, vinyl, zines, art, and more.
Analog Salon exists to foster creativity, collaboration, and community engagement. It brings together Denver’s curious and creative spirits to celebrate music’s power to inspire and transform. In a world saturated by algorithms and isolation, Analog Salon offers something different: a space built on human presence, mutual listening, and cultural nourishment.
None of this happens alone. We’re lucky to work with partners who believe in the value of third spaces and the power of gathering: CoCreate, Cross-Pollinate Consulting, FM Boutique, Birdy Magazine, Posner Center for International Development, and KGNU
Let’s keep showing up, together.
