PICK OF THE WEEK: Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy – Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre – Sunday, August 7th

Estimated read time 2 min read

There are really only two words to describe these two legends: guitar gods. Beck of course got his start as part of the holy triumvirate of guitar players in the 60s blues based group The Yardbirds and Buddy Guy transcends the word legend and was a heavy influence on Beck and many other great guitar players. Coming out of the Chicago blues scene, Buddy played with Muddy Waters as a house musician for Chess Records.

Turbonegro – May 20th – The Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

There must have been a ship docked at 935 E Colfax on Monday night, because as I walked up to the Ogden Theater I became engulfed in a sea of boys and girls wearing denim and sailor caps. A bit surreal since we were all awash with the neon of Colfax, and not the Pacific Ocean which was over 1,000 miles away. Learning to embrace the odd lately, I decided if KISS can have army of fans then Turbonegro can have its navy of fans.

Nothing goes better with good southern barbeque than good southern music. Well, maybe whiskey too. But whiskey make you do funny thangs and in showman Robby Peoples case funny, awesome thangs. On a cold, drizzly night in Colorado, in a dimly lit, hot and sweaty dancehall at the back of a barbeque joint, Peoples and his band brought a little Mississippi heat and Listen Up Denver! was there to soak it up.
