Former Empires

Introduced to the Fort Collins, Colorado music scene in 2025, Former Empires brings a deep knowledge to their music. Choosing to focus on simplicity over complication, dynamics over complexity, the band has formed a sound that is, within the songs, emotional, explosive, and surprising. The trio includes drummer Dan Butcher,  bassist Andrew Berg, and guitarist/singer Dan Marx. Former Empires’ music brings drama and introspection, and works to portray the beauty and sadness of life.
