For all who might come across this blog, either directly or by accident…welcome.
The Oomph is a blog dedicated to local and indie musicians, particularly from the Denver area–but since I love music in general, I’ll gladly include others who get my attention. 
What is the Oomph, you ask? It’s that hard-to-describe extra element that separates the pretty-good from the outstanding. When it comes to local talent, the Oomph is the “it” factor. A local band or artist who has the Oomph is one with the potential to expand beyond the local scene.
An example? Many of you have heard of The Fray. Many non-Denver readers might not know they are from Denver. They began here as a local band. Now they are internationally known.
The Oomph. Get it?
The thing is, Denver talent has lots of Oomph, and that’s what this blog is about. I’m looking for the standouts in the local music scene.
In addition to spotlighting artists, I’ll be reviewing some of the better venues in town–hotspots for finding some of the best talent. Once I find my bearings, I’ll be listing upcoming events containing my picks for possible Oomph sightings. And once in awhile, I’ll even venture out and showcase non-local talent you might not have heard of–but who are especially dripping with Oomph.
I’m glad to have you with me on the hunt. Looking forward to the ride!
