Chris Robinson Brotherhood – December 31st – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 5 min read

Chris Robinson took a full house at Cervantes’ on a psychedelic journey through old songs, new songs, and a myriad of influences that could not have happened without his new band, The Brotherhood, standing behind him. CRB is not The Crowes, The Dead, or anyone else…it is a new journey being taken by a group of seasoned musicians, and it is a great trip to take…magically mellow as a mushroom.

Little Feat is a band that has been in the trenches of Rock and Roll since the revolution began. In 1969, Frank Zappa suggested Lowel George leave The Mothers of Invention and form his own band, and that same year George formed Little Feat with the goal of combining Blues, Funk, Country, Folk, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.

The New Orleans Suspects – August 11th – Quixotes’ True Blue

Estimated read time 5 min read

The New Orleans Suspects are the newest band of their kind out of New Orleans, and yet is old school in its approach and its lineup. Let’s not mince words here; this band is a super-group by all measures. All you have to do is look at the players’ resumes. The band played a nice mix of NOLA staples and band originals, giving the audience a healthy dose of old and new material. They brought the heat on songs like “Smoke My Peacepipe” and “Sneakin’ Sally” with vocal arrangements that melted like butter on a hot NOLA day.
