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.

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.

The Motet’s annual Halloween run has become a Colorado institution, but this year finds the band with a new album out that has been their most collaborative to date. In the past the Motet has paid tribute to such luminaries as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Talking Heads, The Grateful Dead, and Madonna. But last year the band changed up the format will deliver a set of classics from 1975 – a particularly heady year for the genre they do best.

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.

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.
