COMEBACK YOGA

Denver

News: The Mssng, one of the most popular bands on the Denver music scene, headlines an Aug. 13 concert that benefits Comeback Yoga, a Denver-based nonprofit providing free, trauma-informed yoga to the military community in Colorado and beyond.

The event takes place at the Lakewood Elks Lodge, 1455 Newland St. In Lakewood. Doors open at 3 p.m. The music starts a half-hour later when Standen Evans, a Denver-based singer-songwriter and U.S. Army medic during Iraqi Operation Freedom, performs his signature blend of traditional folk and Americana.

The Mssng was among those included in 303 Magazine’s “Artists You Should Know” and has been featured on Indie 102.3’s “Local 303,” a show dedicated to elevating local talent. The Mssng has recorded, produced and published two singles (Wandering I and 44 Hours) and has gigged on such local stages as Larimer Lounge, Lost Lake, hi-Dive and The Roxy.

The band has been compared to David Bowie, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy and Interpol for their affinity for new wave, underground synth and post-punk sounds.

Concert tickets are $20 and can be purchased by visiting https://givebutter.com/CBY or by texting ROCK4YOGA to 53-555. In addition to the music, there also will be a cash bar, food to purchase from The Hot Dog Cart and a raffle with T-shirts, yoga mats, gift certificates and more among the prizes.
