Infamous Stringdusters – December 12th – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

Dobro penetrated brick walls as I waited in line for the box office on Saturday. Inside the Fillmore Auditorium, soundcheck was unfolding for a huge night of music rooted in tradition, but tied to the heartbeat of the present. Inside, three bands, all with ties to Colorado, waited to play for the massive auditorium. There were flannels, puffy coats, vests, dresses, boots and of course, beards all there to witness a great evening of Americana that wrapped with all of the musicians onstage singing “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead – October 11th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 10 min read

Anticipation levels were high as Deadheads old and new poured into The Ogden Theatre on Saturday Night. In the past few months the buzz that has followed Joe Russo and his latest project, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has been deafening. Since their inception in early 2013, the quintet has piqued the interest of fans wondering what this group would bring to a songbook that is beloved by so many. When the show sold-out shortly after the doors opened, it was obvious this would be a special night and what unfolded was nothing short of spectacular.

Mickey Hart Band – May 17th – The Ogden

Estimated read time 4 min read

While Hart isn’t the most followed of the Dead members, and the half-full Ogden proved that last Thursday, there were still fans of all ages in attendance. From the opening notes of “Samson and Delilah,” to the closing strains of “We Bid You Goodnight,” the band was on fire and loving every minute of playing together. Long after the show was over the words Hart said at the end of the first set rang true: “I told you it was going to be good, now you gotta go tell your friends what they missed!” How right he was!
