Last Saturday night the Ogden Theatre brought us the greatest annual Halloween treat Denver has to offer – The Motet’s annual Halloween run – two weeks late. Though this year it was a bit past the holiday deadline, that didn’t stop the loyal fans of this local Funk band from stepping out in full force for what was dubbed as the “Hometown Hustle.” For weeks this show was the talk of the town, and the anticipation was sky high for the band’s rabid fans.

Victor Wooten, known for his solo recordings and tours, and as a member of the Grammy-winning super group, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, has won most every major award given to a bass guitarist. While he is reason enough to make it out to Cervantes’ on Saturday, the fact that Stephen Bruner aka Thundercat and Garrett Sayers are rounding out the bill makes this a gathering of three of the best bass players around.

The one summarizing thought about this year’s YarmonyGrass: not enough! Just two days of hardly strictly bluegrass on the Colorado River was not enough. The weekend boasted blue skies, warm temperatures and so many friendly faces gathered at Rancho Del Rio for the best of what Colorado has to offer of Bluegrass and string music. Mountain air, clear skies and incredible once in a lifetime collaborations made YarmonyGrass 2014 one of the most beautiful and unforgettable summer festivals to date.

Colorado Jamband fans rallied last Saturday evening for the chance to see the ever-progressing, in both musicianship and fan base, Umphrey’s McGee. Hailing from Chicago, Umphrey’s is a band whose fan base has been exponentially increasing in recent years. So, when a chance comes around to witness these pioneers of the Prog-Jam genre in action, Colorado Umphreaks pop a few post-Fourth Advils and get their butts to Red Rocks.

Cervantes’ celebrated 11 years as an integral part of the Denver scene last weekend and the party they threw on Saturday was nothing short of incredible. The festivities started in the main ballroom with a powerful set from The Great Guys and throughout the night bouncing back and forth between the Ballroom and The Other Side was almost required as Kim Dawson’s Sisters of Soul, Assembly of Dust, Atomga, and Floodwood all whipped the crowd into a frenzy.

Halloween might have happened on Thursday, Oct. 31, but it happened again two days later at The Ogden Theatre when The Motet packed the house for a sold-out show that Denver fans come out in droves for every year. While The Motet puts on an annual Halloween rager, this year’s show was focused on the year 1980, and the crowd added to the theme with costumes that shaded the room with every bright color that the 80s represented.

Victor Wooten’s show at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom was less about the five-time Grammy award-winning bassist, and more about his “new band, new sound, and new experience.” Wooten, as promised to his fans, wowed the audience with dazzling solos but he also allowed his band to steal a piece of the stage and showcase their skills as well. As the band blended Funk and Jazz it soon became clear why this kind of musical exploration took place beneath a giant Disco ball.

Last Saturday night, The Boulder Theatre was a cozy hangout for not only young men and women who go to school in Boulder, but also for a steady stream of young adults from Denver and middle-aged folks from the foothills, all there to bounce along to the hypnotic beats from John Brown’s Body or to catch the latest music from longtime Boulder resident Kyle Hollingsworth.

The Motet’s annual “musical costume” shows on Halloween have become something of an institution here on the Front Range with folks buying tickets early in the summer to make sure they don’t miss out on the madness. This year’s run kicked off on the 25th, stopped in Denver for two nights at The Ogden before heading up to Vail and finally wrapping up last night in Boulder. When all was said and done it was a fun and funky show and while it didn’t top “Funk Is Dead,” everyone in the room had smiles on their faces to the bitter end.
