When starting this podcast, I created a list. The list was of potential guests and Virgil was at the top of it. Virgil Dickerson is the definitive "local music guy". From fanzines to labels to talent buying to collectives, Virgil has had his touch on the Denver music scene since the early 90's.
The ultimate enthusiast, Virgil is the guy who everybody wants to know and who is happy to know everybody. I sat with him to talk about his early days starting a fanzine (that would ultimately turn into a label and distribution center, Suburban Home), to working with Illegal Pete's and getting in on the ground floor of Denver's emerging comedy scene.
Virgil and Illegal Pete's are celebrating their 20th anniversary with an amazing show at the historic Red Rocks Amplitheater! With Lucero, Built To Spill, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Adam Cayton-Holland, this will be one for the books.
