Rocky Mountain Folks Fest – August 17th, 18th, 19th – Planet Bluegrass

Estimated read time 8 min read

As families we all have our traditions and, whether it’s opening presents on Christmas Eve, driving to the cabin every summer, or making pancakes on Sunday morning, these traditions are what define our lives and give us those memories that last a lifetime. For our family, one of those traditions is our annual August pilgrimage to Lyons for the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. Though it’s been twelve years some thing remain the same; the beer is cold, the music is amazing, and the river water cools the blood in minutes.

Estimated read time 6 min read

The annual Tedeschi-Trucks Band headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre is marked on many calendar’s months in advance and, with openers including North Mississippi Allstars and Los Lobos, there was no way this night would disappoint. The only thing weighing down the good vibes among the crowd were the looming clouds and forecast for a rainy night. Fortunately, the clouds were soon forgotten and the good vibes sent any chance of rain far away.

Deer Tick – April 4th – The Gothic Theatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

Deer Tick rolled through town last week and played to a packed house at The Gothic Theatre down in Englewood. Despite the fact that they were missing their rhythm section, the band soldiered on a trio and thrilled the crowd with set that was a little bit more Country than it was Rock-n-Roll. Deer Tick is known for wild shows, and last week’s set at The Gothic didn’t disappoint. Local rockers The Knew opened the night with every ounce of the passion and fervor they are known for.

Phish – 8/31, 9/1, 9/2 – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park

Estimated read time 7 min read

So, let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, was Phish’s Friday night show at Dick’s the “best Phish show of the 3.0 era?” We’re not sure how it possibly could have been. Yes it had it’s moments, mostly due to the shenanigans of nodding to last year’s “S” show by spelling out “FUCK YOUR FACE” with the setlist, but overall the show was pretty uneven musically. It just didn’t flow like the other two nights of the run that featured some of the most fluid sets we’ve heard out of this band in years.
