Denver's Top 25 movers and shakers in Arts, Culture and Entertainment
The local music scene has been raising a ruckus across the country, so our top spot goes to the radio programmer helping make it happen

Nerf, Program director, Channel 93.3
It's been a great year for pop music in Denver. More local bands have risen to national prominence in the wake of The Fray's huge success, and the Mile High Music Festival had a spectacular debut, drawing 90,000 during two scorching days in July.
So it only makes sense that the top spot in the Rocky's sixth annual Top 25 in Arts, Culture and Entertainment would be from that world.
If the name Nerf isn't music to your ears, the bands (Flobots, Tickle Me Pink, Single File) promoted by the program director at Channel 93.3 should be. The station has had so much success finding talent locally that national music labels now are coming to them for bands, not the other way around.
Chuck Morris, back in the business of promoting music for AEG Live after serving out a noncompete, stands at No. 2 this year, with the ascendant hip-hop and civic activism of the Flobots also in our rankings.
But it's not all music: Randy Weeks, Jeffrey Nickelson, Chip Walton and Anthony J. Garcia are on a roll in theater. The world of clubs keeps hopping thanks to Wende Curtis, Francois Safieddine, Lannie Garrett and Donald Rossa.
Then there's author David Wroblewski, already a best-seller before the Midas touch of Oprah recently landed on his debut novel.
Head inside for all the details on the Top 25, as well as Ten to Watch, which chronicles others making things happen. And meet The Establishment, our newest addition.
-------------------------
1. Nerf
Program director, Channel 93.3
Last year's rank: 18
* Why he ranks: Nerf (real name: Jeb Freedman) and his staff at KTCL Channel 93.3 have honed the talent for finding Denver's Next Big Thing in pop music over and over: The Fray, Tickle Me Pink, Single File, Meese and now The Flobots. Bands can't say enough about how much the support has helped: "Enormous enormous" is how Tickle Me Pink's Sean Kennedy put it recently.
* Next challenge: Nerf's picks are only as good as the talent pool, and buzz bands such as Born in the Flood have yet to have national commercial success like The Fray and others. Has Denver's hot streak ended? The Fray's upcoming album will be a clue.
-------------------------
2. Chuck Morris
Vice president, AEG Live
Not ranked last year
* Why he ranks: A non-compete clause after leaving Live Nation took Morris out of the game last year. But now he and lieutenants (and heavy lifters) Brent Fedrizzi and Don Strasberg have quickly made AEG the dominant player in Denver concerts and launched the wild ly successful (90,000 in two days) Mile High Music Festival.
* Next challenge: To have the words "wildly successful" linked to the next Mile High Music Festival - and to survive until then in a tattered economy in which those triple-digit concert tickets don't seem like such a necessity.
-------------------------
3. Randy Weeks
President & CEO, Denver Center for the Performing Arts; executive director, Denver Center Attractions
Last year's rank: 2
* Why he ranks: Weeks continues to introduce the audiences of DCA and DCTC to each other. Last winter, the companies collaborated on White Christmas, saving time and money. He also continues to make Denver a go-to town, launching the tours of A Chorus Line and, next year, August: Osage County. And he reached into the community this year and plucked out Girls Only, now onstage at the Galleria. With his national contacts, chances are good Girls Only will have a long life outside of Denver.
* Next challenge: Broadway shows such as Avenue Q hit Denver far later than they should; find a way to get us the big tours faster.
-------------------------
4. Wende Curtis
Owner, Comedy Works (Larimer Square) and Comedy Works South (The Landmark in Greenwood Village)
Last year's rank: 4
* Why she ranks: With the Landmark outpost opening soon in the Tech Center, her clubs now anchor two entertainment districts in the city. No one can touch her for snagging comedy talent (which is why her good pal George Lopez is opening the new club). She's driven and determined, which was crucial as delays of all sorts bedeviled the new club.
* Next challenge: Making the new place work. The new Landmark center is gorgeous, but looks don't guarantee success.
-------------------------
5. Cydney Payton, Mark Falcone
Executive director/chief curator, new board chairman, respectively, MCA/Denver
Last year's rank: 15
* Why they rank: As the new MCA/Denver nears its first anniversary, Payton has achieved her goals. The museum is closing in on its $16.5 million capital goal and is about halfway to its desired $3 million endowment. The museum may exceed its projected first-year attendance of 50,000 and new exhibitions are arriving at a rapid clip, including the timely show of work by Damien Hirst, which opens Tuesday.
* Next challenge: In July, Payton announced her resignation, effective on MCA's first anniversary. This sobering news means Falcone must find an executive director-chief curator who can build on Payton's vision.
-------------------------
6. Jack Finlaw
Director, Denver Theatres and Arenas
Last year's rank: 7
* Why he ranks: The proposed Boettcher Hall renovation received voter approval, and a flurry of conventions brought added activity to virtually every city facility. The Democratic National Convention alone generated 139 events (38 at the Performing Arts Complex, 98 at the Convention Center, two at Red Rocks, plus Rage Against the Machine at the Coliseum). The Ellie Caulkins Opera House has begun expanding its performance calendar, the Buell Theatre was dressed up with $1.2 million in new seats, and Kevin Taylors new Limelight Supper Club is open for business in the Galleria.
* Next challenge: Keep the $90-million Boettcher project on course and close to budget.
-------------------------
7. Dean Sobel
Director, Clyfford Still Museum
Last year's rank: 19
* Why he ranks: In March, Sobel unveiling a schematic design for the Clyfford Still Museum and refinements continue, but a spring 2009 groundbreaking is still on tap with an eye toward a 2010 opening. Hear architect Brad Cloepfil talk about the project Oct. 13 at the Denver Art Museum.
* Next challenge: Sobel still has money to raise but says the museum has made "significant progress" from figures released early this year that cited $17 million in hand in pledges or about half the amount needed for the $33-million capital campaign.
-------------------------
8. Nick and Helen Forster
Founders, producers and talent of Etown radio show
Not ranked last year
* Why they rank: Eighteen years of quality music and environmental issues paid off big this year. The etown taping at the DNC brought pals James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash and more for one of the best events of the convention. After working out of the Boulder Theater for years, etown bought its own place in an old Boulder church. In an era in which being green is the new black, etown had a nearly two-decade head start.
* Next challenge: Despite years of success, etown doesn't have the national profile it deserves.
-------------------------
9. Dan Ritchie
Chairman, Denver Center for the Performing Arts
Not ranked last year
* Why he ranks: Since taking the job in 2007 Ritchie has made himself known for what he has and has not done. The "has-nots": He hasn't taken a salary or inserted himself into artistic choices that belong to Randy Weeks and Kent Thompson. The "has": He stopped the city from applying seat tax to the Bonfils Theatre Complex, which DCPA maintains. This year, the city will instead appropriate $455,000 for capital improvements. Ritchie also spearheaded a computer system overhaul and overdue Web site redesign. And in his first year on the job, trustee and individual donations have increased.
* Next challenge: Ritchie must navigate the impact of an economic plummet to find new ways to derive income.
-------------------------
10. Fred Hamilton, Lewis Sharp
Director and board of trustees president, respectively, Denver Art Museum
Last year's rank: 5
* Why they rank: The pair have weathered roof repairs and staff cuts to achieve a balanced budget two years after opening the new building bearing the board leader's name. National media picked up on the museum's striking looks during the Democratic National Convention, and plenty of DNC-related events were held there. Attendance for the first three quarters is almost 500,000, set to outpace the goal of 600,000, thanks to shows on Impressionism and the vibrant quilts of Gee's Bend. But the ethics of the museum's tandem acquisition (with collector Phil Anschutz) of a Thomas Eakins work is still being discussed by the American Association of Museum Directors.
* Next challenge: Keep the momentum going with quality exhibitions and deal with the loss of respected curator Ann Daley, who retired recently.
-------------------------
11. David Wroblewski
Author, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
Not ranked last year
* Why he ranks: It wasn't as if the first-time author hadn't already had a great year: About 300,000 copies of his book had been sold since its June release, thanks to early raves from Stephen King and Richard Russo. Then, on Sept. 19, Oprah chose Wroblewski's title for her famed Book Club (which could add another million sales to that tally) to really launch the Westminster resident into the big time.
* Next challenge: The author is working on a second novel, but since his first took more than 10 years to write, it may be a push to get another in stores before people are saying "Wroblewski . . . isn't that the name of a brew pub in Lodo?"
-------------------------
12. George Sparks
CEO, Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Last year's rank: 6
* Why he ranks: Sparks' spirits soared when the museum won voter approval for some $50 million in bonds to fix infrastructure and build a collections facility and new areas for education and science. But attendance fell in 2007 after the 2006 "Body Worlds" bonanza, even though "Titanic" lured more than 430,000 visitors. Visitation could be down again in 2008, since the museum closed its Hall of Life in April for a renovation and "Gold" only glittered for about 142,000 people.
* Next challenge: Make the new dinosaur show a smash, though projections call for only 135,000 people to attend. Shepherd the new "Expedition Health" installation (coming in 2009) and keep a steady hand on building upgrades and repairs, as well as the new facilities.
-------------------------
13. Monty Miranda, Donna Dewey
Director, Skills Like This; partner, Dewey-Obenchain Films
Last year's rank: 11
* Why they rank: With his comedy Skills Like This poised for nationwide release next spring, Miranda heeded Hollywood's siren call and moved there a month ago. Dewey, the film's producer, remains in Denver, hoping that this well-received film will put them on the map. Skills opens at New York's prestigious Angelica Theatre in March and is set to screen in L.A., Denver and other major markets now that the Maine-based Shadow Distribution has picked it up (that's a first for a Denver film-maker). Foreign distribution is also in the works.
* Next challenge: Get positive reviews and receipts, while keeping the momentum with successful follow-up projects.
-------------------------
14. Kent Thompson
Artistic director, Denver Center Theatre Company
Last year's rank: 8
* Why he ranks: Thompson's New Play Summit is on a roll. The play 1001 was produced Off Broadway after premiering here. This season Lydia has four productions lined up, including the prestigious Yale Rep and Mark Taper Forum, while Our House is scheduled for Off Broadway. By hiring locally and creating a tie-in with the Denver Art Museum on Gee's Bend, Denver Center no longer feels like an ivory castle.
* Next challenge: This year's collaboration with Denver Center Attractions, Quilters, is hardly a new musical. In fact, a number of the season's titles are less-than-stirring. World premieres are again lined up for the New Play Summit, however, and Thompson is still working with Attractions to premier a new musical.
-------------------------
15. The Flobots
Politically charged rap/rock band, civic activists
Last year's rank: Not ranked
* Why they rank: This year was a perfect storm for the Flobots as the insanely catchy, politically savvy Handlebars took the nation by storm. A leg up from Area 93.3, plus the DNC concert date with Rage Against the Machine followed by leading a march on the Pepsi Center, thrust the band into uncharted territory.
* Next challenge: With success can come difficulties. The band has to worry about overexposure and pacing themselves. They were seemingly everywhere during the DNC, with the set they did with Rage considerably more tired than previous ones at the Mile High Music Festival and other events.
-------------------------
16. Kent and Vicki Logan
Art patrons, collectors
Not ranked last year
* Why they rank: Yes, they've sold their Central Platte Valley condo and somehow fell off ARTnews' 2008 list of the world's top 200 collectors, where they've had a long-time perch. But the Logans are keeping their Vail spread and still boosting contemporary art locally. They have again supported lectures at the Denver Art Museum, funded "conversations" at MCA/Denver, and also organized a consortium of sorts between/among the state's contemporary curators, including a shared Web site to market events. They're quick to loan work for exhibitions and quick to offer guidance.
* Next challenge: Keep encouraging Colorado's contemporary curators to work together to creat what Kent Logan calls a "critical mass" of exhibitions and related events pertaining to today's art.
-------------------------
17. Chip Walton
Artistic director, Curious Theatre Company
Last year's rank: 16
* Why he ranks: The Curious reputation comes from artistic quality, though chalk up some of that to Walton's charisma. But recent world premieres have been artistic and commercial rough going, although last season's The Denver Project came closest to fulfilling its goals. A more with-it director at Denver Center has left Walton with fewer of the straight-from-New York hits he was known to stage. So this season has no world premieres and the company has broadened its mission with such work as the season opener Curse of the Starving Class. And its long-term prospects have improved with the purchase of its building.
* Next challenge: Find a world premiere worthy of staging and give it the nurturing it needs.
-------------------------
18. Lannie Garrett, Donald Rossa
Singer, owner of Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret; owner, Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge, respectively
* Last year's rank: 13, 17
* Why they rank: Garrett's Clocktower Cabaret continues to pack them in, presenting everything from burlesque to drag shows to name acts from around the country (Judy Tenuta, Jill Sobule, Maria Muldaur, with Streisand's sis, Roslyn Kind, due in November). And, of course, Lannie herself most weekends. Celebrating its 10th year, Rossa says his Lincoln Street club enjoyed a 15 percent revenue increase in 2008 while bringing in the usual big jazz acts (Kenny Garrett, Tom Harrell, etc.), as well as opening his nationally respected club to talented bands from Denver schools. In April, Rossa joined other local jazz-club owners to form an association that will share bookings. He and his partners formed Dazzle Records, releasing a CD by a jazz orchestra appropriately named 9th and Lincoln.
* Next challenge: Both club owners seek to strengthen their hold on audiences by bringing in name acts, while honoring local performers.
-------------------------
19. Jeffrey Nickelson
Artistic director, Shadow Theatre Company
Not ranked last year
* Why he ranks: Nickelson is the heart of the city's only viable black-oriented theater company, inspiring loyalty and passion backstage and in the audience. Last spring, the company that spent years in the stuffy, barely-an-auditorium of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Center, opened its own new, modern, independent theater in Aurora with a hit production of the musical Dinah Was.
* Next challenge: Nickelson must make budget while also presenting challenging work alongside the musical revues that audiences love. There are only three adult shows scheduled this season; that fancy building deserves more exciting fare.
-------------------------
20. Anthony J. Garcia
Artistic director, El Centro Su Teatro
Last year's rank: 12
* Why he ranks: There's no construction on the planned new building on South Santa Fe yet, but Su Teatro did choose an architect - the respected Semple Brown Design - and stated its intention to open its 2009-2010 season in the new space. The past year made a splash for the outsiders he brought in. Texas songwriter Tish Hinojosa contributed music for A Colorado en una Noche de Navidad (To Colorado on a Christmas Night) and last month, Su Teatro premiered Marisela Trevino Orta's play Braided Sorrow, about the murders of women in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. That kind of aesthetic diversity bodes well.
* Next challenge: Get that new home built.
-------------------------
21. Rene Marie
Jazz singer, part-time actor
Not ranked last year
* Why she ranks: We're not picking Marie because of her decision to sing the "Black National Anthem" (Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing) at Denver's State of the City speech in July. But that ill-advised decision (scorned from Barack Obama to John Hickenlooper) does remind why we admire the talented jazz singer. She's a risk-taker, unafraid to highlight topics (she's also combined Strange Fruit and Dixie in a song) and try musical interpretations that are hers alone. Plus: she proved an able actress in Shadow Theater's musical, Dinah Was.
* Next challenge: Continue to record and perform with an eye toward an even wider audience.
-------------------------
22. Francois Safieddine
Nightclub owner, Lotus Entertainment
Last year's rank: 20
* Why he ranks: Nobody embodies the high-end club business, with its bottle service and scenesters, like Safieddine. No party animal, this entrepreneur and family man. Rather, the owner of Lotus Entertainment goes about his business with an eye toward what's next, not what's succeeded. And that keeps his clubs (Monarck, 24K, 5 Degrees and his latest, Suite 200) a step ahead.
* Next challenge: Keep finding the "new thing" before everyone else.
-------------------------
23. Swallow Hill Music Association
Denver's nationally acclaimed home for the performance and teaching of folk, roots and world music
Not ranked last year
* Why it ranks: Swallow Hill's staff, from executive director Tom Scharf to concert director Joanna Springer, keep the folk ship pointed true north, but a true collective of musicians, teachers and volunteers fills the sails. Approaching its 30th year as the second largest folk music organization in the United States, more than 60 teachers instruct 3,000 students annually. National and local acts performed more than 200 concerts last year to 25,000 attendees and school outreach brought tunes to 7,500 students. Its honorary advisory council solicits advice from luminaries such as Loudon Wainright III and Chris Thile.
* Next challenge: Push the Kumbaya envelope by growing outreach, enrollment (currently 2,306 members) and attendance, utilizing new technologies.
-------------------------
24. Gene Felling
CEO, Broomfield Sports and Entertainment; GM of Broomfield Events Center
Not ranked last year
* Why he ranks: The veteran of Denver's concert wars was brought back from L.A. to put some life (and acts) into the events center. With Weezer this weekend, Oasis on tap and everything from Panic at the Disco! to Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour on the schedule, he has done just that. A family-friendly approach, reasonable food prices (cooked fresh onsite) and a willingness to experiment has paid off.
* Next challenge: Selling the building to the public. Parking problems marred the opening date years ago with Bonnie Raitt and still linger.
-------------------------
25. Matt Fecher, Josh Baker
Promoters, Monolith Festival
Not ranked last year
* Why they rank: Red Rocks has long deserved a wild festival. These two brought it to fruition with the Monolith Festival for a second straight year, picking some of the best talent (locally and nationally) to play for the musical hard-core while also providing a lively festival scene on the site.
* Next challenge: Sell more tickets. The under-filled Monolith this year meant great musical talent playing to not great crowds. Also on tap for 2009: the Fresh Tracks Music Festival in Aspen during April, described by Fecher as a "mountain SXSW with some big headliners."

He is the music/band/social commentator promoter from KBDI/12 who brings in all those bands (ABBA Review, 1964) that perform at Red Rocks and acts such as the late George Carlin and Paula Poundstone. AND, he does it all for a PBS station... as a fundraiser for a non-profit. He should be on this list.
And remember, KBDI brought the Denver area, "Telly-Tunes"- a show that MTV emulated.

I think it's cool that Denver's music scene is getting some recognition. I have been checking out local music in Denver for the the better part of 30 years and there has been some great tallent here especially in the last ten years. Musicians like the Hornbuckle Bros., Bretheren Fast, Paul Galaxy and the Galactics who I don't think are together any more. Plenty of great bluegrass to go around, a punk scene that is fantastic, but barely recognized, jazz in denver has a long history but often times seems to get little recognition. Outlaw country with bands like the Railbenders have found a home here in Denver. It is great that radio like 93.3 is promoting some of this new music coming out of Denver. I wish more radio stations would do it as well. There is a wealth of talent here that does not hide in their own little corners. You will often see different genras of music come together in denver to put forth an eclectic show for fundraisers and benefits. Keep up the good work Denver musicians. I think we are on the cusp of no longer being a secret in the music world.
