Little Feat’s Paul Barrere Talks Feat Past and Present
Little Feat is a band that has been in the trenches of Rock and Roll since the revolution began. In 1969, Frank Zappa suggested Lowel George leave The Mothers of Invention and form his own band, and that same year George formed Little Feat with the goal of combining Blues, Funk, Country, Folk, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.
Levon Helm Tribute – June 2nd – The Mountain Jam Festival
“As I looked at all of the members of The Levon Helm Band when they lined up at the end of the night, I saw a band in transition and a family in mourning. I saw a group of extremely talented musicians who are willing to do whatever it takes to get through this, and to keep Levon’s legacy going strong. The pain of Levon’s death is still etched deeply in the hearts of many, and will continue to be for a long time, but the joy his music creates is just as powerful.”

Cars were lined up on Plochman Lane hours before fans were let on to the property, and there was a feeling of joy and loss that combined into an emotional force that hung in the air the entire night. It felt like celebrating Thanksgiving shortly after the passing of the man who sat at the head of the table.

Robinson discusses his guitar collection, playing with some of his idols, recording his most recent record, and he even shares some of his political views.
Carolyn Wonderland – August 24th – Cervantes’ Other Side
Carolyn Wonderland is a force to be reckoned with, plain and simple, and she turned Cervantes Other Side turned into a raucous Texas roadhouse on Wednesday night. There was no chicken wire screen or bottles being flung, but there was a firey red head on stage, throwing back shots and making her guitar scream!
