Local Musicians Start Mental Wellness Group for Denver Scene
There’s a new support group for members of the Denver area music scene.
Last fall, Spencer Townshend Hughes of The Hollow was feeling overwhelmed. With a sense of urgency, he turned to the Denver Music Scene Facebook page. “…and I was like was like, ‘Hey, so I need help,’” he said. “Instead of trying to hide and seem tougher than I am. Would anybody be willing to get together to chat about how jacked up we are because of the music community?”
Hughes received responses indicating that although there wasn’t a group already existing to discuss that, the interest was there and he wasn’t alone. That’s what prompted him to start Denver’s Mental Wellness Monday Meetup, which takes place every second Monday of the month. Bandmate Jonathan Bray and The Hollow’s manager Angela Rose Whaley helped Hughes bring the meetup to fruition.
