PICK OF THE WEEK: Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats – The Ogden Theatre – Friday December 19th
On Friday night Nathaniel Rateliff will be serving up the same two-set format that thrilled a packed house last Thanksgiving. After opening sets from local folk rockers Ark Life and Ben Kronberg, Rateliff’s first set will feature his folk persona while his second will feature an all-out Night Sweats assault. While Rateliff is best known for his folksy, sensitive side, he can also get the house jumping and sweating with killer Soul and R&B.

A Day In the Life of Denver’s Ark Life
Last December we had the opportunity to follow Denver’s Ark Life around before their sold-out two night run with friends The Head And The Heart at the Ogden. The band’s chemistry was contagious and both days were filled with laughter and horseplay. It was evident that they all truly care about one another and their relationships go well beyond that of mere musical collaborators. We were there from pre-show rehearsal, to load-in, soundcheck, and the post-show party both days. This the long day that goes into the short opening set.

20 Questions with Trout Steak Revival
If you love Rocky Mountain Bluegrass as much as we do, you’ve surely happened upon the skilled sounds of Trout Steak Revival. The quintet is making waves in our little pond with their elaborate harmonies, which are backed by strong instrumentation and impressive song writing abilities. While the group hails out of Denver, their music was inspired by what lies just beyond our city in the “misty high country” where they say the music was born. They started as an informal Bluegrass Jam group and have made huge leaps in years since.

Josiah Johnson & Carleigh Aikins – February 9th – Ivywild School
The half-court gymnasium at Colorado Springs’ Ivywild School concert venue filled awkwardly at first as fans crowded against opposite walls, lending to the overall feeling that I may had accidentally been dropped off at a middle school dance last Sunday night. It’s not quite like any place you’ve ever seen a show before and that’s part of its magic. The night unfolded as beautiful mix of voices and bodies of work, making for a great experience for The Head And The Heart fans as well as those unfamiliar with their work.

Futurebirds & Ark Life – January 18th – Bluebird Theatre
Twenty and thirtysomethings filled the Bluebird Theatre last Saturday evening for a rowdy night with Athens, Georgia alt-country/indie-rock band Futurebirds and opener Ark Life. Talking loudly over beers fans were out with high spirits and came to get loose. Despite very few moments of distinguishable vocals through the ear-bleeding guitar during Futurebirds set, it was sometimes hard to tell what songs were being played but the enthusiastic crowd, energetic performance and howl of the pedal steel alone made the evening.
