Estimated read time 9 min read

Gramatik is headlining his first show at The Fillmore this Saturday night. With opening acts Talib Kweli and Mux Mool, it’s sure to be a night that lives up to Gramatik’s personal ability to move from one musical genre to the next. His new light design, inspired by infamous physicist Nikola Tesla is sure to be a highlight of this blowout. He was kind enough to take a few minutes away from his busy schedule to talk to Listen Up Denver! about the tour, his musical influences, and about his philosophy of giving away all of his music for free to fans.

Mayer Hawthorne – October 20th – The Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

Last Saturday at The Ogden Mayer Hawthorne proved that he is a natural performer and charmed the pants off of everyone in the room. He posed for photos, he crooned through a Frank Sinatra cover, and he even shared a mixed drink of Vernor’s Ginger Ale and Hennessy with a lucky lady in the crowd. In addition to belting out a very solid vocal performance, shaking a tambourine, and occasionally playing staccato rhythm guitar chords on a white Epiphone, Hawthorne worked the stage and crowd like a pro.

Nicki Minaj – August 2nd – Wells Fargo Theatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

Nicki Minaj brought the bubblegum Hip-Pop to the Wells Fargo Theatre last night and the kids were out in force!!! Dressed to the nine’s in their finest neon this crowd was hellbent on having a great time and danced the night way with Minaj and her crew in the sterile room. While she’s no Madonna or Gaga, Minaj put on a hell of a stage show that featured several costume changes on a stage set that was complete with a pair of electric pink sweeping staircases. All in all, it was very fitting for a tour dubbed “Pink Friday.”
