Yes, tickets are pricey but it’s a very intimate way to see some great music (and you can bring in your own wine).  The ticket on-sale starts on April 25th and cascades down through the membership levels of the Botanic Gardens until the General On-Sale on May 2nd.  Find out who of your friends is a member, and hit them up for tickets, as many shows are often sold out by the time tickets go onsale to the public.

Purchase tickets via the Botanic Gardens website, at the Swallow Hill Box Office or on the phone at 877-435-9849.

Music has always been a part of my life. It probably all started listening to old Grateful Dead, Peter Paul & Mary, and Simon & Garfunkel records that my parents had, but it wasn't long before they were taking me to concerts like Starship, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Huey Lewis & The News. I got the bug to write about music after reviewing an Eric Clapton concert for a creative writing project in high school but didn't really take it up seriously until 2002. Since then I have published countless articles in The Marquee Magazine and done some work for Jambase.com, SPIN Magazine, and various other outlets. I started Listen Up Denver! as a way to share the music information that is constantly spilling out of my head with people who care. Please enjoy!
