You would think that because my name starts with an MC, that I was born to MC an event like the Westword Music Showcase. But you'd be wrong. Sure, I can stand up and introduce various acts and thank the sponsors, but there in lies the extent of my abilities. For the full 2 minutes I spoke in between acts, I was able to relive the moment my teacher made me recite the love note I wrote to Bobby Frutchey in the 3rd grade.

Ivory Circle is one of our favorite local Denver bands and last Friday at The Walnut Room they did not disappoint. With the intimate space fully packed, fellow Denverites were able to enjoy an amazing performance by the band. Ivory Circle's chemistry was electric as they grooved out to their new EP. Lead singer, Connie Hong connected with the audience through heartfelt lyrics and killer vocals. After their last song the people wanted more and demanded an encore, with nothing seemingly prepared, the group performed an acapella version of Drown, which rivaled the original. All in all, great show, great people, make sure to catch them next time they're around the city!

Ivory Circle | "Equilateral" EP | Review and Ticket Giveaway
Ivory Circle’s EP, “Equilateral” is hauntingly beautiful as lead singer, Connie Hong guides you through the joys of living with a broken heart. Equilateral is infused with lush instrumentation and lead vocals that make you want to shut the door, turn off the lights, and interpretative dance in nothing but your socks. From the very first song Hong sets the stage for the 5 song EP with “Beat the Drum” a transcendent experience empowered by an unsuspecting keyboard and drum performance that will have you tribal stomping down Broadway. As the EP progresses Ivory Circle draws you in with, “Abandoned” and “Walk With Me” which will have you drunk texting your ex in no time. They conclude the EP with, “We Will Run” which is what you will be doing in order to get a glimpse of this bomb shell when Ivory Circle performs this Friday at The Walnut Room.
