Jason Isbell – September 14th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

When Jason Isbell took the stage at Red Rocks everyone in attendance knew we were in for a special evening, but what the master song-smith and his band delivered over the course of nearly two hours was one of the most profoundly moving events of the summer. Simply put, this show had it all and, judging by the crowd’s passionate response to each and every song and their willingness to sing-along with every couplet of the evening, Mr. Isbell and his band will be back on The Rocks one day. That day can’t come soon enough.

2014 went out with a fight, giving her last days hell in the form of wicked cold temperatures but Lucero warmed up the crowd at The Gothic last Monday night. Performing on the heels of the back-to-back deaths of their friends John Hampton and John Fry just weeks earlier the band delivered one of the most touching performances of the year. It was was the 1st night of a three night New Year’s run, one can only imagine what the grand finally was like on New Year’s Eve!

Lucero – March 31st – The Bluebird

Estimated read time 4 min read

Lucero started out playing dives with Punk Rock ferocity and over time have adapted a Country infused Southern Rock sound. They bring a heavy hitting fast paced attitude and blend it with a down home feel by incorporating both keys and a Pedal Steel guitar into the mix. Last Saturday night, when they played The Bluebird, they even had a small horn section, consisting of a Trumpet and Sax, join them on stage. Overall it was a powerful crowd despite the lack of energy coming from the audience.
