Wild Lives – April 22nd – Lion’s Lair

Estimated read time 2 min read

Up and coming Denver band Wild Lives took the Lion’s Lair stage on Friday night just days after their front-man, Hans Meyer, was featured on the cover of The Westword for his outstanding work with Denver’s immigrant population. Though he, and the rest of the band, are consummate professionals during the week, what they put on display on Saturday night would make any Punk rocker from the CBGB’s scene of the late 70’s or early 80’s proud.

John Hiatt & Taj Mahal – August 13th – Chautauqua Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Chautauqua Auditorium never fails to set its own tone with each event it hosts. The historic building is set in the shadow of the Flatirons and packs a visual wow factor as you amble up the hill to the door, but then drives it home as you take your seat and absorb all the warm, wood ambiance that is standard show experience in the 116 year old structure. This line-up of the Taj Mahal Trio and John Hiatt & The Combo was a true whopper and, as you can imagine, the show was sold-out.

Inside the crowd jumped with fists in the air as front-man Eugene Hütz whipped the crowd up into a frenzy with a stage presence that was very reminiscent of Iggy Pop.
