Ah, another Sunday afternoon on the The Rocks with Widespread Panic. After two great nights under the stars, the band’s Sunday show to wrap up the run has become a fixture on the Red Rocks summer schedule. The show brings out longtime fans who aren’t up for a late night anymore, families exposing their kids to Panic for the first time, and of course those who would “never miss a Sunday show” – for good reason.

Robert Randolph & The Family Band – March 7th – Gothic Theater

Estimated read time 5 min read

Robert Randolph and The Family Band are nothing short of extraordinary. True to their name, Robert has employed his real family members to create the soulful, upbeat Rock, Soul, Jam, Funk fusion he is known for. There aren’t many other bands that come together and produce such outstanding guitar riffs and unique Blues and Soul melodies. Though the Family Band is great, the main event all evening was Robert with his pedal steel guitar and unique gruff and falsetto singing. He engaged the crowd and kept them dancing.

Alt-J – October 28th – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 3 min read

Amped up twentys-omethings filled the huge venue that is the Fillmore last Tuesday night when genre-bending English rockers Alt-J returned to the venue with a new album under their belt and demand for a ticket reaching new heights. In the band’s rapid rise to the top it seems they have amassed a diverse audience. Stoners, edgy teens, married couples, EDM chicks, hipster kids. They were all there and the band delivered a perfectly executed set, but nothing about the live experience made seeing them something to talk about.

The Floozies & Manic Focus – December 14th – Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

The double feature of The Floozies and Manic Focus at the Bluebird Theater last Friday night led to a sold out show thanks to some last minute promoting by the GriZ family. There were few in the audience that had 21+ wristbands, which isn’t strange for these wompadelic shows. We all know that EDM is the outlet for the Y generation; however, this show brought even the youngest of the Z generation crawling to the front of the stage. Flat brimmed hats and glittered eyes were the staple of this evening’s attire.
