A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa, formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.
They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered A Mad and Faithful Telling in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. A lengthy world tour followed, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot. After doing more soundtrack work, this time for the 2009 comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, the group returned to the studio for 2011’s moody and triumphant 100 Lovers. Embarking on another world tour, they collaborated with the Colorado Symphony on the 2012 concert album Live with the Colorado Symphony. Over the next several years, Urata became increasingly involved in his own film composition career, scoring movies like Crazy Stupid Love, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Paddington, and the Netflix series A Series of Unfortunate Events. Meanwhile, the band regrouped for a lengthy recording session, eventually returning in 2018 with their sixth album, This Night Falls Forever, this time via Concord Records.

DeVotchKa is one of my wife’s favorite bands, I’d love to win and surprise her!
This event is going to be so fun! Their music soothes my soul!
Ahh, my oh my. “How it ends,” is the song my soul sings to the universe, with my eyes closed and heart open. Nostalgia and love, this song has held my hand for a while now. It would be a dream to hear it performed live.
DeVotchKa has been a favorite of mine since hearing the soundtrack of Little Miss Sunshine in 2006 (I was 15) I’m about to turn 33 in February and it would be such a full circle moment to see them in concert for the first time at 33.
As a cellist, I’ve been hearing about this group for years but never seen them. Hope you pick me!
This would be such a great date night 😍
We’d love to go to this show… I’ve been a fan for a _long_ time!
Love DeVotchKa! So much fun energy to dance to! Can’t wait!
Oh wow! I miss them every time they are here.
I’ve never seen them live, and would love to!
Love that Accordion
I’m interested, would love to see this group.
Two excellent bands. Thanks for the opportunity.
Would love a date night with my wife!
We danced to DeVotchKa senior year of Dance Team. I would love to see them live!
Would love to see DeVotchKa again! I feel like it’s been almost 20 years since I last saw them back in CO. Would be a great reunion for me and my partner!
Love them! Pick me.
This was one of my favorite albums! I’d love to go!!
How It Ends is one of my favorite songs and have listened it on while descending on my bicycle down Mt Tabor. So magical! I love them and would love to be picked!!
This would be a dream for me to go! Live this band!
DeVotchKa is the best and I would LOVE to see them again (saw them before Covid in Portland). I just think the music is haunting in the absolute best way. As a graphic designer, I entered a poster design contest for their Mishawaka Amphitheater show in 2010. I got a lovely email that they went with another design, but that I made it a hard decision ♥. So kind! I still have the art on my online portfolio.
I grew up in Colorado listening to DeVotchKa and was inspired to pick up the accordion as a result. It would be so wonderful to see them again after all this time!
Yes please!
How fun- would love to see both of these bands! Thanks for considering.
Devotchka a legendary sound that picks your lazy butt up and gets inside your smiling heart! Let me experience the lovely one more time!
Would love to see them! Love their sound.
I love to dance around my room to DeVotchKa!!! What a fun show, I’d love to go! Thanks in advance.
Always wanted to see them live. Actually had tickets to see them until that pesky pandemic happened. This time I’ll be masked and ready.
Devotchka’s music has soundtracked my life since 2003, when my friends and I used to drive 6 hours from Albuquerque to Denver to see their shows. I’d love to take my partner and show him how beautiful they are.
This DeVotchka-Девочка (in Slavic it’s a girl) needs to see them and dance. So much stress recently, need night out. Please pick me
I love Devotchka! I would love to take my fiance to this show so we can listen to their music live together.
Yes, please!
I haven’t seen DeVotchka since 2008 and I would love to see them now
Are tickets still available?
