Why You Should Go: Phish bassist Mike Gordon returns to the road with his band which includes longtime collaborators Scott Murawski and Craig Myers, organ and synth-master Robert Walter and sharp-shooter John Kimock on drums.

Most artists have a fixed ritual or routine that they rely on to inspire their efforts from concept to fruition. Gordon tends to establish general goals, and then eschew routines for creative experiments. This rings true with his fourth studio album, Overstep.

The result is a diverse but tightly knit family of sturdy rock numbers that manages to sound grounded but sophisticated at the same time, and raw but carefully considered. Like Gordon himself, the album is full of contradictions, juxtapositions, and surprises – which is exactly what his fans expect.

Venue: Gothic Theatre – 3263 South Broadway, Englewood, CO, 80110

Nate Todd

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
