Lettuce – May 14th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

Stalwarts of the scene, Lettuce, showed up at Red Rocks last Friday to deliver their 3rd annual “Rage Rocks” to a rabid crowd. Ten men strong, the stage was full all night and got damn near crowded as the band invited some big name guests to the stage. Note worthy support was provided by Turkuaz, who brought everyone to their feet as soon as they took the stage. From the get-go the vibe in the venue had a fever like it must have when James Brown graced a stage; people just couldn’t help but get down!

John Scofield Uber Jam – August 1st – The Boulder Theater

Estimated read time 1 min read

Guitar virtuoso John Scofield showed off his impressive chops on the axe last week when he brought The John Scofield Uber Jam Band to the stage at the historic Boulder Theater. Guitarist and sampler Avi Bortnick, drummer Luis Cato, and former Gov’t Mule and Black Crowes bassist Andy Hess, who make up the rest of the Uber Jam band were equally impressive and a truly great fit around Scofield’s mastery of so many different styles of guitar playing.

Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood – December 7th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 10 min read

It was a brisk Friday night on East Colfax. The streets felt electric and alive and the energy and animation outside The Ogden was no doubt an extension of what was about to take place inside as Medeski, Scofield, Martin, and Wood prepared to take the stage. MMW alone are a band that steps out into the whizzing traffic of the music world, refusing to yield to the traffic lights of convention. But add experimental Jazz guitarist John Scofield to the mix and you have a rebellion on your hands.
