Summer is officially over. And while Denver might’ve had one of its hottest and longest seasons in recent memory — with almost more 90°+ days than any other year on record — Fall has finally made its way to Colorado, and once October concedes to November, the holiday season will be upon us. And artists are already rushing to share their holiday plans, including recent announcements from The String Cheese Incident, The 1975, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Pentatonix, all of whom plan to celebrate with Denver.

READ: Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats Announce This Year’s Annual Holiday Show At Ball Arena
Earlier this week, Denver’s own Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats kicked off the first in a slew of winter show announcements, with the news that this year’s “Annual Holiday Show” will be the biggest yet, taking place at Ball Arena. KTCL Channel 93.3 also unveiled the line-up for this year’s “Not So Silent Night” — and even though we’re still a full month away from Halloween, this is one holiday show we truly can’t wait for.

The longstanding winter staple never fails to disappoint, bringing in noteworthy national acts to headline stages alongside local favorites — and this year’s December 6 show will be no exception. Returning to Mission Ballroom for the second year in a row, “Not So Silent Night” is proudly proclaiming The 1975 as this year’s headliner, along with support from opening acts Lovelytheband and locals Neon The Bishop.

International acapella stars Pentatonix announced their “Pentatonix: A Christmas Spectacular!” — a 22-date North American tour, which will see the group take over Ball Arena for a night filled with Christmas caroling in late November. And just before they hit the road, Pentatonix also plans to release their sixth full-length holiday album, Holidays Around The World, which promises to include new renditions of familiar carols and collaborations with international artists.

What began as a creative project has now become a rich and rewarding experience for Leh and Templeton. Soon after the brand’s launch, they were amazed by how well their brand message was received by the community. In a culture that often promotes burnout, the brand’s claim that “simple is dope” was deeply felt by their customers and helped them to stand out from the crowd.

“We put nearly 6 months into the conceptualization of the brand, so it feels incredible knowing others out there relate and have their own interpretation as to what ‘simple is dope’ means to them personally,” Templeton said.

Our pieces embody the vibe that resonates with us. Natural, comfortable, uncommon, well-crafted,” Leh said. “If we feel super dope in it, then we know we’ve got something.”

Their business practices are also influenced by what resonates with them. The couple’s appreciation for nature led them to partner with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation. For every one of their Nature Club Hats sold, they will plant one tree to support One Tree Planted’s cause.

Simple is Dope officially launched on June 17, 2022. The concept for the brand was to create more of what they wanted to see in men and women’s clothing while encouraging others to embrace simplicity. This involved using quality materials, having a neutral color scheme and making sure their items were affordable.

“We realized how much happier this lifestyle was making us and how much more enriched our lives felt, so we decided to incorporate this lifestyle into our fashion and photography passions,” Templeton said. “We wanted people to know that living simply wasn’t boring, it was dope.”

Before they created Simple is Dope, founders Kylie Leh and Zack Templeton were living busy working lifestyles in L.A. The couple met in 2021 and encouraged one another to pursue their creative outlets outside of work. Eventually, it became clear that they had dreams of building something beyond their 9-to-5 jobs. In January of 2022, they moved to Denver to live at a slower pace and spend more time outdoors.
