Best Metal Promoter

No one has worked as hard to promote the Denver metal scene as Wayne Quigley, the man behind Big Q Productions. From frequently booking shows at the Ogden, Gothic and Bluebird theaters to putting together smaller gigs at Iliff Park and Eck’s saloons, Big Q has shone the spotlight on many of the best emerging metal acts in town. Promoting bands — particularly bands on the way up — isn’t exactly a huge moneymaking endeavor. So we can only deduce that Q is in it for the love of the music. And for that, Mr. Quigley, we give you the horns.
