Author: 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.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy – Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre – Sunday, August 7th

Estimated read time 2 min read

There are really only two words to describe these two legends: guitar gods. Beck of course got his start as part of the holy triumvirate of guitar players in the 60s blues based group The Yardbirds and Buddy Guy transcends the word legend and was a heavy influence on Beck and many other great guitar players. Coming out of the Chicago blues scene, Buddy played with Muddy Waters as a house musician for Chess Records.

The Motet – July 22nd – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

While there were some ominous clouds hanging over Red Rocks as we climbed the stairs, and the sky opened up and lightning slashed across the sky stalling our entrance, it couldn’t put a damper on possibly the best overall bill at Red Rocks this summer. Even though we were momentarily barred entrance and in limbo on the stairs, everybody was in high spirits. When we finally got in we were treated to a spectacular double rainbow off to the west over directly over the stage. What does it all mean? It meant a golden night for Colorado music!
