As is usually the case, Colorado has played host to some of the biggest names in music throughout 2016. From classic performers to contemporary pop stars, there’s been some impressive variety showcased all around the state. But one subtle factor that links some of the biggest acts that have come through the state this year is that several of them have songs that are about (or at least inspired by) gambling.

Billy Joel played an enchanting show this past Wednesday night at the Pepsi Center. The New-York bred musician brought together people of all ages who could be heard cheering and swooning like preteens at a Taylor Swift concert. The scene was pleasant and filled with people who were giddy to see the wonderful Entertainer. It was truly a night to remember, filled with classics and goosebumps galore. If you haven’t seen Billy Joel in concert, put it on your bucket list!

Imagine a tiny wayside town off the beaten path of another place off another beaten path. This is Rancho Del Rio, site of the annual Campout for the Cause festival. Located four miles from State Bridge in Bond Co and Highway 131, the use of the word “town” for Rancho Del Rio is extravagant. Simply “Rancho,” as the locals call it, is no more than a smattering of small cabins and a local BBQ stand.

Take three-parts huge 1980’s hair, toss in a bushel of big boobs and torn, low cut, tee shirts. Add in a dollop of crazy colors, a dash of bandannas, and then top it off with a helping of loud metal music and lots of sexually charged lyrics. If that’s not enough for you, you might stir in some rabid screaming fans and even an onstage marriage proposal for good measure. Put it all in Denver’s Ogden Theatre for 90 minutes at about 100° and you have yourself a piping hot, ready to serve Steel Panther show in all it’s glory.

It is truly cosmic when two stories unfold parallel to one another; pulsing and glowing like two universes swimming side by side in this vast multi-verse we call life. When they touch: Bang! A new universe is created, one in which both entities lock into a cosmic groove and never let go. This is the relationship between the band Stir Fried and the Bianchi brothers of Quixote’s and Sancho’s fame. Now, yet another music venue can be added to that list, The Donkey OT, where Stir Fried will help to kick off the Grand Opening this weekend!

Umphrey’s McGee made a triumphant entrance to the Red Rocks stage with Edvard Griegs’ epic “Hall of The Mountain King” blaring on the PA. With drummer Kris Meyers adding some thunder to the backing track and bassist Ryan Stasik pumping up the crowd with the two handed rock lock, the crowd quickly whipped into a frenzy and the band dropped into “Divisions.” This was a perfect way to get things going and the syncopated fireworks displayed by guitar players Jake Cinniger and Brendon Bayliss were a sign of things to come.

A crowd dressed in scally caps, punk rock T’s, boots, bracers, and the occasional kilt packed the floor of The Fillmore last week when the Dropkick Murphys brought their own brand of Irish drinking music to Denver. They opened up their set with “For Boston,” a cover of the Boston College fight song, as a quick tip of the hat to their hometown and all that it had been through recently with the Boston Marathon bombings and then we were off to the races as they played the hits, both old and new.

First Friday packed the sidewalks and bars along Tennyson as a healthy crowd filed into The Oriental Theater for a night of musical tributes (and at least one surprise guest). With The Dirty Femmes honoring The Violent Femmes, MF Ruckus nodding to Iron Maiden, and Hell’s Belles doing their best AC/DC impression, it was a night complete with sex, drugs, and Rock and Roll.
