The past, present and future of Bree Davies
The name Bree Davies is as well-known to her fellow journalists as it is in DIY artist and political activist spaces. She has long been a major voice for all Denverites.
Her extensive resume is an indication that Davies is unable to sit still for long. She’s worn many hats in her time as a journalist covering Denver’s music scene—as producer and host for PBS12’s Sounds on 29th Street and an alt-weekly arts columnist at Westword. She started the podcast “Hello? Denver? Are You Still There?”
Outside of her journalist title, Davies has worked as an activist and advocate for artists, housing, accessibility and anti-racism. She helped found the experimental art and music festival Titwrench Collective and was a staff member of Kalyn Heffernan’s 2019 Denver mayoral campaign. Over the last several years she took a detour into urban planning and city politics.
Then she was offered a job working as the host of the newly-launched City Cast, which was slated to hit earbuds on March 25. Due to the shooting in Boulder, the first episode aired two days prior on March 23. Working alongside the podcast’s producers, Paul Karolyi and Xandra McMahon and newsletter editor Peyton Garcia, Davies has another platform to breathe some new life into Denver’s media landscape.

Ms. Mayhem is a female-owned, Denver-based online publication dedicated to authentic, in-depth news and uncovering the stories of underrepresented voices. We work to spark conversation about inclusivity and promote people who make waves within their communities.
We cover major stories from perspectives that are rarely seen from more mainstream outlets. Our team looks forward to reporting on femme and non-binary identifying people in all walks of life, from sex work to the military; from tattooing and skateboarding to the STEM industry. We’ll be reporting right from the middle of the intersection of gender, sexuality, class, ability and race.
We are in the process of planning a virtual party. If you’re interested in attending, sign up for updates here.
