Indie Shows This Month in Denver/Boulder

Lost Lake Presents JZAC x Dylan Owen with BEAMIN on Thursday, July 16th. Dylan Owen: Dylan Owen is a New York rap artist with his own brand of confessional, heartfelt storytelling. Out of the sleepy small towns of New York state he has become a beacon of light for tens of thousands of ardent listeners who come from towns such as these and beyond; who turn to his songs of introspection and wonder and struggle as a soundtrack to their lives and a navigation device. His vulnerable, poetic rap songwriting has generated press comparisons to Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith, and he has collaborated with rap peers Watsky, Sol, Abhi The Nomad, Blueprint, Ceschi, Abstract, Sam Lachow, Kinetics & One Love and opened a tour date for Mac Miller. Dylan possesses disarming technical prowess as an emcee and flows on production palettes from alternative rap to pop to folk—where neither DJ scratches nor a live violin or trumpet are out of place. Through breakout EPs There’s More To Life and Keep Your Friends Close and fan-facing efforts such as his self-published book and Coffee with Dylan series, he has fostered a deeply engrossed and active community that sell out his shows, tattoo his lyrics, buy merch from every drop (from which the proceeds benefit mental health causes), and compose thousands of heartfelt social media messages. What sustains Dylan is his ongoing quest to carve out meaning from his journey for himself and others, and to give it away so that it might empower his listeners, who prove to him time and time again that there is more to life. JZAC: Originally hailing from southern New Hampshire, Jerry Zajac, known as JZAC, is a rapper with over a decade of experience in the music industry. He first started putting out music on YouTube in 2011, but it was around 2016 when he began to break through on the internet, posting short video clips of freestyles that would end up going viral and circulating on social media. Since that pivotal moment, he has meticulously built his catalog, accumulating over 100 million streams on his music, releasing four studio albums, multiple EP’s, and countless singles over the years.
