Goose made their triumphant return to Denver with a two night stand at the Mission Ballroom this past Sunday and Monday. While these are tough nights for shows, the incredible momentum this band has propelled each night to a sell-out. While there are some who question Goose’s staying power as a premiere band on the scene, these two shows did a lot to shut those folks up.

An afternoon high of 97 turned the packed Ogden into an oven and it only got hotter as the theater filled in for Swedish folk singer, The Tallest Man On Earth. Kristian Matsson made a name for himself through raw, solo records and performances but arrived in Denver with a full band and a new sound this past week. Old songs were given new life by a big band, but the most memorable moments still came in the form of roaring solo performances.

In most cases, a band with siblings merely plays out as an interesting footnote to a band’s biography, save for the instance where one sibling is trying to stab the other, or if plums are being thrown. Luckily, no disgruntled fruit was spotted anywhere near the Hi-Dive last Tuesday when The Staves made their first appearance in Denver to play most of their debut album, ‘Dead & Born & Grown.’ Their completely and utterly seamless vocals and self-deprecating humor endeared them to the small but appreciative audience very quickly.

Larimer Lounge was swarming with people for Daughter’s sold-out Monday night show last week. A younger crowd sporting flannels and peasant dresses, many with “X’s” marked on their hands, filled in around the small stage creating an exciting and intimate ambiance. Elana Tonra’s voice was just as hauntingly beautiful as it is on the record. What you hear is what you get, only with much more emotion. Overall, Daughter’s performance was poignant, evocative, and simply beautiful.

Last Thursday night Bon Iver took over Red Rocks and Justin Vernon proved that there may be no better venue on the planet for him to work his magic as he whisked us all away to that eerily special place that only his voice can conjure up. The crowd swooned as the unshaven Vernon’s voice reverberated off the rocks that towered on each side of the amphitheater and his nine piece band fleshed out the sound with guitars, strings, horns, keys, and booming drums. It was truly a magical night on the rocks.

Justin Vernon, AKA Bon Iver, has built up a very impressive fan base in the last 3 or 4 years with a hushed Alt-Folk catalog that has earned him praise in many music magazines, and even some good hearted ribbing on Saturday Night Live courtesty of Justin Timberlake. His last gig in Denver was a headlining show at The Ogden, and this week he will be headlining Red Rocks after playing several high profile gigs at festivals like Coachella and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Six years ago, the band DeYarmond Edison called it quits. They had moved from Eau Claire, Wisc., to Raleigh, N.C. together a few years earlier; but that strong southern sun must have cast a different light on the paths in front of them. The group’s vocalist and guitarist, Justin Vernon, headed back to the woods of Wisconsin, while brothers Phil and Brad Cook decided to keep pickin’ in the pines along with drummer Joe Westerlund. The Tar Heel trio declared themselves Megafaun, while Justin Vernon went on to form Bon Iver.
