Kyle Hume

Kyle Hume plays Globe Hall on Saturday, October 17, as part of his It's a Zoo Out There tour. He's bringing Sammy Rash along to open the night, so there are two acts on the bill.

If you've come across Hume's music without knowing the story, it's a bit of an odd one. He didn't set out to be an artist; he was a computer science major in college who started making music in his dorm room. From there he built an online audience of over 3 million listeners, and he's kept that direct connection going ever since. He's from Louisville, Kentucky, and has turned down every label offer he's been given, preferring to share his music directly with his fans. That independence is a good shorthand for how he works—he's his own boss, and he's built his following on his own terms.

His songs have racked up hundreds of millions of streams, with 'If I Would Have Known', 'Fine', 'Alive (It's a Lie)', 'Happy' and 'People Pleaser' among the ones that have traveled the furthest. He's released Spiral Out and People Pleaser recently, and the Denver date is a stop on the It's a Zoo Out There tour. He's also mentioned that he has a ton of new ideas coming, so this is a good time to catch him while he's still in the middle of that momentum.

Globe Hall is at 4483 Logan St, Denver, CO 80216. Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM, and tickets run from $32.19 to $95.75.
