On a warm Friday evening in early April my Uber dropped me in front of The Ogden Theater. On the marquee below the purposefully distorted letters spelling out the headliners name were the words “Sold Out”. There weren’t even scalpers outside selling overpriced tickets on the secondary market. Sold out, meant sold out. Denverites must really love their ska-punk like their beloved Colfax Avenue, a little dirty, a bit raw, and always entertaining.

A sold-out crowd poured into The Fillmore last Friday night to catch a glimpse of jam royalty as Phish guitarist and king of the jamband scene, Trey Anastasio, brought his seven piece band to town. 2015 has been a busy year for Trey; whether it was helping to deliver Phish’s best summer tour of the last two decades or filling in for Jerry Garcia with The Grateful Dead for their 50th anniversary shows, the jam icon has had perhaps his most prolific year of his distinguished career.

Once a year, a sea of fans, clad from head to to in insulated coats, snow pants, and beanies, descends upon Red Rocks for the annual Winter on the Rocks, hosted by Denver based ski brand Icelantic. While retaining the perennial Hip-Hop vibe, this year’s offering leaned toward the Reggae end of the spectrum. With unseasonably warm temperatures the crowd was a bit less bundled up than last year, when the show was blessed with consistent snowfall. The venue was less than full, but the crowd was rowdy and upbeat all night.

Mesh-backed hats, cowboy boots and camouflage covered Country fans flocked to Fiddler’s Green for the first night of country megastar Zac Brown’s two night run last Friday. Drunk suburban moms prepped for a night of screaming with copious amounts of Bud Light but in the end it was a well polished, entertaining show, complete with Dave Matthews Band-esque jams, Pop-Country cheese, and plenty of feel good, sing-along hits.
