  • Moments before jam super-group Dirty Dawgs took the stage on Friday night at the new Quixotes', we found out from a friend that Ray White (of Frank Zappa fame) was in the house and would be sitting in throughout the night.  Ray White sitting in with a super-group composed of Michael Kang, Steve Molitz, Eric Gould, and Brandon Draper in the main room, and The Grant Farm in the bar? It had all the hallmarks of a crazy night and lived up to the billing!

  • Last Saturday, the LoHi Music Festival was held on 32nd Avenue in the heart of the LoHi neighborhood in Denver.  The event was a smashing success by all measures, and judging by the smiles on the faces of music lovers everywhere I looked, it was well received by all who attended.  This was the second year for the event and, wow did it grow fast!  There were people as far as the eye could see from the main stage looking west on 32nd Avenue by the time Particle hit the stage with Michael Kang of The String Cheese Incident around six thirty.

  • Well if you haven't heard by now, let us be the first to tell you . . . Friday night at Red Rocks was WET!  Early in String Cheese Incident's first set, a storm that had been threatening for a while descended on the venue.  The bathrooms (and anywhere else with a roof for that matter) were packed with sodden fans, and people huddled together in beer tents and under just about any overhang they could find as water fell from the sky in sheets as they waited for what turned out to be a stellar show from the band for nearly two hours.

  • When String Cheese takes over Red Rocks for a run of shows it's always a party and last night was no different.  It took the stands a while to feel crowded, but slowly but surely the freaks filtered in and by 7:30 the air was buzzing with anticipation.  Though it looked like only three quarters of the tickets were sold for the first night of this summer's three night run, the boys didn't hold back and really brought it right out of the gates.  Get ready for night two . . . the boys are on fire!!!

  • String Cheese Incident has not played Red Rocks since the venue was host to their comeback run two years ago and that should be reason enough to catch at least one of their shows this weekend at the legendary amphitheater.  But, if it's not, consider their epic electronica laced jams, their blistering bluegrass, and the incomparable energy of a weekend of incidents on the rocks.

  • Dark Side of the Moonshine. Sounds intriguing, right? One may ask, "what is this, exactly?" This is what Poor Man's Whiskey has dubbed their performances of the classic Pink Floyd album, Dark Side of the Moon.  The cherry on the top of this much talked about show was that Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident) was going to play with the group. The first set would consist of Poor Man's Whiskey originals while the second would be "Dark Side of the Moonshine." We would all have to patiently wait for our dessert.

  • Colorado loves it’s Cheese and the fact that Kyle Hollingsworth was going to be playing with his SCI cohort Michael Kang was almost too much for some eager fans to handle at Cervantes' last Saturday!  This incarnation of KHB brought the positivity and brightness of SCI, but they focused on the funk that Kyle brings to the Cheese party for well over two hours.  It was an infectious night of funk.
