Last Saturday, the LoHi Music Festival was held on 32nd Avenue in the heart of the LoHi neighborhood in Denver. The event was a smashing success by all measures, and judging by the smiles on the faces of music lovers everywhere I looked, it was well received by all who attended. This was the second year for the event and, wow did it grow fast! There were people as far as the eye could see from the main stage looking west on 32nd Avenue by the time Particle hit the stage with Michael Kang of The String Cheese Incident around six thirty.

The Denver based hip-poppers were wrapping up a four-night Colorado tour with Chicago based funk-pop-rock outfit Kids These Days. While some of the crowd looked a little dazed from a long weekend of avoiding assignments, the majority was grooving hard and giving the bands a lot of energy to draw from for their performances.
