Elephant Revival – May 21st – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

The cusp of summer in Colorado is a beautiful time of year, full of warm days, cool nights, and dreamy mountain adventures – perfect for an evening on The Rocks with Elephant Revival. They hail from that little town a 30-minute drive up the canyon from Boulder, the mysterious town of Nederland (referred to by locals as “Ned”). It doesn’t have much cell phone service, and isn’t a typical stop on a tourist’s map. Perhaps that’s why this town has shaped such unique artists as the ones who make up this wonderful band.

Phoenix On The Exclamation Point: It’s A Good Thing!

Estimated read time 5 min read

Denver knew Phoenix way back when. We have a history. The kind of history, upon reflection, that was described as “magical” and “iconic” when Listen Up Denver! sat down with Phoenix guitarist, Laurent Brancowitz. Considering the Michael Jackson dance party that erupted at the band’s first visit to Denver in 2009 touring for Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, it’s not much of an exaggeration. If the past encounters between Denver and Phoenix are any sign, their show at Red Rocks will find everyone dancing, no matter what.
