It’s no secret that it is a strange time in the world right now with the ongoing pandemic and the surge of the Omicron variant, but it’s an even stranger time in the world of live music. As 2021 wound down, New Year’s events were being cancelled left and right and music fans were left to wonder if one of the most important nights on the concert calendar would be left blank. Thanks to Neal Francis and Gold Leader for playing and delivering a blissful night of high energy, funk infused music!

Opening for Herbie must be daunting, but Kamasi not only filled that tall order, he crushed his set as if he were the main attraction. His high energy set was punctuated perfectly by his song “Fist of Fury,” the perfect ending despite leaving you wanting more. If he were opening for anyone else he might have owned the night….but it wasn’t anyone else, it was Herbie!

The Motet, the funkadelic Denver supergroup, played for a packed house this past Halloween weekend at the Ogden Theatre. The spooky tradition of covering an artist each Halloween weekend was broken last year when the band decided to play hits only from 1980 and this year they chose 1975. The show, dubbed appropriately “Mixtape 1975,” stayed true to the band’s Afrobeat heritage. As the band took the stage the buzz of the audience turned into raucous applause, eager for what was to come from this groovin’ group.

Whenever the members of The Motet put together a tribute show you should take notice. Over the years they have covered The Talking Heads, The Grateful Dead, Earth, and Wind and Fire among others but the music of Herbie Hancock is a perfect fit for Colorado’s favorite funky bunch. If you’ve missed the Hancock tribute in the past you will be afforded another chance to catch this stellar show Wednesday.

When String Cheese takes over Red Rocks for a run of shows it’s always a party and last night was no different. It took the stands a while to feel crowded, but slowly but surely the freaks filtered in and by 7:30 the air was buzzing with anticipation. Though it looked like only three quarters of the tickets were sold for the first night of this summer’s three night run, the boys didn’t hold back and really brought it right out of the gates. Get ready for night two . . . the boys are on fire!!!

These two nights in New York City showcased two very different sides of The String Cheese Incident. It was almost a Jekyll and Hyde situation. I went in to Friday night with great expectations for a show that would keep us dancing late into the night, and instead got one of the slower, and darker, String Cheese shows that I have ever seen. On Saturday, the boys put their best foot forward and gave a show full of raging peaks, massive sandwiches, and even a Radiohead cover.
