“Being a musician myself, I had noticed there’s so much talent and diversity in in the music scene here,” Edelstein says. “I wanted to create a collective to take all the different bands in the music scene and kind of put it under one name." Edelstein sees the collective's shows as akin to online concerts series like National Public Radio’s Tiny Desk Concerts. The Salt Lick Denver isn't booking concerts based on genre, though most of the bands fall under the general indie-rock umbrella. The collective is already getting inquiries from out-of-state bands, but is currently focusing only on locals.
