PICK OF THE WEEK: Turkuaz – Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom– Saturday, October 17th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Turkuaz is a 9-piece power funk army hailing from Brooklyn, NY whose modern twist on the classic sound has placed them at the forefront of a new funk evolution. With the obvious influences—Parliament, Sly & The Family Stone, Earth, Wind & Fire—as the basis for a recipe, Turkuaz adds healthy doses of jittery, world-pop-dance groove—reminiscent of the Talking Heads—and a passion for Motown and R&B into the mix.

Dance Party Time Machine – November 14th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

From the Delorean parked out front to Marc Brownstein performing the narration on “Thriller” as the show wound to a close, last Friday night’s long-anticipated Dance Party Time Machine was a major, bad-to-the-bone success. A vast majority of Denver’s local Jam, Rock, and Funk music scenes were represented, with musicians taking turns on-stage throughout the duration of the Dance Party’s 4-hour throw-down. Denverites should feel lucky to have such incredible performers, artists, and musicians living in our midst.

John Brown’s Body – August 22nd – Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom

Estimated read time 2 min read

Rolling up to Cervantes’ on this Friday night felt good. It was one of those mild, late summer Colorado evenings that force you to love Denver. Not to mention, John Brown’s Body was in town, and for those who know JBB – it’s kind of a big deal. Apparently the word is getting out because the large Cervante’s ballroom was full. JBB is an elite Roots Reggae Dub act and the fans on hand were in the know as they are essentially the core of the Denver Reggae scene. It was a good crowd and there were good vibes all around.
