A Bluebird On My Shoulder…
Whether you’re a local or a visitor to the Mile High City, if you’re a music lover then you need to know about the Bluebird Theater!
Built in 1913, the Bluebird has gone through many faces in its 95 years of operation after starting out as a movie house. It began its life as a music venue in 1994, and has been rocking Denver ever since. The Bluebird has played host to a number of musicians of all types, including jazz violinist Jean Luc-Ponty, folk/indie singer Dar Williams, and big name acts such as Ladytron, Oasis, and Filter.
All of the shows put on at the theater are 16+, giving younger music fans a chance to see the bands they love that they might not get at a larger venue, which could require concert goers to be over 18. Laid out in three tiers, it boasts a full bar at the top and an expansive balcony from which you can see the entire theater. With great acoustics and a nice sized stage, there isn’t a bad seat in the house!
Located at 3317 E. Colfax Ave, The Bluebird is on Colfax proper between 16th and 14th Avenues, and can be reached on the Route 15 bus line. You can call the Bluebird directly at 303-377-1666, or online.
Tickets are available online or at the box office. The box office opens 30 minutes before the doors open to any show. Prices for shows vary, as do camera allowances. Check with the theater beforehand if you have any questions.

You will love the Bluebird, Marlena- be sure to make it a destination in Denver when you are here, even if someone else is playing.
