He graduated from MVNU in the winter of 2005 with a Master's of Arts in Education and an Ohio Teaching Certificate in grades K-12. Denver established himself as a guitar player and lead vocalist on OSU's large campus (largest in the nation) and his band soon caught the attention of record labels and management groups world wide. At this time his third band The Jaded (earlier bands include Merge, The City Limits Stop AKA Guided Tours) was recording their first album with Grammy Nominated producer Jeff Anderson in Lafayette, Indiana. Signed to Ni Ni Records and powerhouse management group, LaMasters Group Entertainment, The Jaded were also preparing for their first US and European summer tour. The Jaded would finish the album with Ron Boustead (Smashing Pumpkins, Rolling Stones) at Precision Mastering in Los Angeles, CA.

The Jaded released the album on Denver's birthday July 16, 2005 to a sold out crowd at The Basement music venue in Columbus, Ohio. This show would kick off their US portion of the summer tour. They toured with underground indie rock legends Earwig, also Columbus, Ohio natives. The tour included 45 days of straight touring including several days with The Jaded performing two shows a day. The Jaded played many of the nations well known music venues including The Viper Room (Hollywood), The Continental (Buffalo), Greenwich Village (NYC), Hard Rock Café' (Cleveland), Warehouse 21 (Santa Fe), Free Bird Live (FL), Peabody's (Cleveland), and The Grog Shop (Cleveland). Many of the shows sold out. The Jaded documented the tour with film maker Dan Garee from the BBC. Unfortunately The Jaded would break up in Provo, Utah after a sold out show they played at Muse Music Store in the last leg of the US summer tour. The Jaded canceled the rest of the show dates and the entire European tour. No film from the tour ever surfaced and the live recordings were said to be lost.

Denver's only comment released about the break up was in the fall of 2005 on his acting website stating "we no longer shared the same vision for what it meant to be a working band and maybe the schedule was a bit much for our first full on tour".
