Groove Festival – Georgetown, CO – July 18th-20th

Estimated read time 14 min read

Groove Music and Arts Festival weighed heavy with Funk, with a liberal helping of Bluegrass and Jam on the side. It also included camping, at a very modest price, and several workshops. Families were strongly encouraged to come; children were free and there was a special camping area for families near the main stage area. While the placement of the bands on the schedule wasn’t perfect, the musical selection was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous and the people who came were equally beautiful. All in all, it was an amazing weekend.

Lotus – February 8th – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

The line wrapped all the way around the Fillmore Auditorium early on Saturday as Lotus fans made their way to the second show of the band’s two-night run in Denver. Despite some discord about the show’s early set times, it was a great concert. Lotus has a special way of letting their Colorado fans how much they enjoy their company, and they delivered all that on more on Saturday. It was a truly “spiritualizing” evening; one that will certainly be remembered by local fans for years to come.

Estimated read time 5 min read

Papadosio has done something unique in the Jamband world–they have skillfully combined a singer-songwriter stance with a group of top-notch musicians operating outside the normal tropes of the Jamband canon. This is why they have been so successful, because they have rejected imitation and embraced innovation. Last Friday night Listen Up Denver! caught some of that innovation firsthand.
