Progressive old school. What does that even mean? For this group, it means providing a soulful, funky sound that is heavily based on groove, just as bands like The Meters and James Brown did in years past. But it also means taking those classic, danceable elements, and adding a few new tricks. Space Orphan will hit you in your soul and keep you dancing at the same time.

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!

Estimated read time 6 min read

Saturday night was the third and final night of the String Cheese Incident’s annual New Year’s run at Broomfield’s 1stBank Center. For the first time since the tradition started, however, New Year’s Eve landed on a Thursday, and so the NYE celebration would fall on the first night of the run, rather than the last like previous years. Typically, the final night and NYE combination would mean that the run would end in a bang.
