DENVER — Denver music venue The Soiled Dove Underground has canceled nearly all of its concerts through at least May.
"The Soiled Dove Underground is going through a major restructuring phase," Soiled Dove CEO Frank Schultz said in an email. "Due to this reorganization it is necessary to make significant changes to our current and future lineup of shows."
Located near East First Avenue and Quebec Street in Denver's Lowry neighborhood, The Soiled Dove Underground has been in operation since 1997.
"For the next several months specifically February through July 2024 we will assume an official 'hold' status until further notice. Unfortunately, this will mean that all of our shows on our website through May 2024 will need to be cancelled," Schultz said.
The Soiled Dove Underground only has one date on its schedule that has yet to be canceled, two concerts on March 9 from guitarist Benise. Schultz said the status of the concerts is still being discussed and they could still happen.
Schultz said The Soiled Dove Underground will issue ticket refunds via the Eventbrite ticketing platform. Those who purchased tickets with cash can get a refund at the Soiled Dove box office or The Tavern Lowry restaurant.
Schultz told 9NEWS the closure is not due to bankruptcy, but is a personal-family restructuring.
"All of us associated with The Soiled Dove Underground wish to maintain good relationships with our loyal venue supporters and clients. It has been a pleasure and honor to build with you over the past 20 years. You are more than clients, colleagues and music lovers! You have become friends and family," said Schultz.
"We are communicating directly with all our artists, agencies and promoters regarding the current shows being advertised on our website and our ticketing platform. Additionally, through no fault of her own, our talent buyer Michelle Bishop will not be able to schedule any future shows until litigation is complete around the company restructure."
"I am sure this announcement will garner many questions. But I ask simply to continue to be patient and supportive with us as we go through these challenges," Schultz added. "Please feel free to call me directly as we continue to work together in this restructuring process."
