Blind Pilot and opener, Point Juncture WA, played to a sold-out crowd of die-hards at The Bluebird last week. Though the show was clouded by muddy sound and poor lighting, the band still brought their trademark Folk-Pop to the stage and wooed their fans with solidly played tracks from their two albums. The highlight of the show came all to close to the end when the band nailed a cover of “The Night They Drove ‘Ol Dixie Down.” Though it might have been a gem that slipped past some of the younger ears in the crowd, it was much appreciated by the more mature folks I saw singing along with every word.

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!
