Sonic Bloom – June 19th-22nd – American Safari Ranch, South Park
Sonic Bloom was another great success in 2014 in its new venue, the American Safari Ranch located in South Park, Colorado. The festival, which had its first year all the way back in 2005, has moved a few times and has consistently turned out a great experience for attendees, building and growing, making each year a little better. Just a few of this year’s highlights included performances from Tipper, The Polish Ambassador, Pretty Lights Music, and Michal Menert.
Bonobo – November 1st – Fillmore Auditorium
After a long week of Halloween celebrations, the mood of the crowd at the Fillmore Auditorium last Friday seemed perfect for a downtempo evening of grooving with UK Electronica Producer Bonobo and his highly anticipated live band. No one was complained about the presence of dance floor space–it was cozy, but not claustrophobic, and on Halloween weekend in Denver, that is a rarity. Costumes, of course, abounded, and smiles too as the fans filed in and readied themselves for an evening of soulful music.
Pretty Lights – August 13th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Saturday night marked the return of one of Colorado’s favorite producers and electronic music artists to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Derek Vincent Smith, better known as Pretty Lights, is a native of the Front Range and never fails to bring out a massive crowd of vibrant color wearing, glow stick tossing, beat enthusiasts to his shows. Smith has come so far in such a short amount of time and after Saturday night, I can only imagine what he has in store for the future.
Sonic Bloom Festival – June 24th-26th – Shadows Ranch, Georgetown, CO
The new location of Sonic Bloom, on Shadows Ranch in Georgetown, couldn’t have been more ideal for an audience ready to celebrate a weekend of musical and visual bliss. Other than the natural beauty, the festival offered light and art installations, aerialists, fire dancers, hula-hoopers, art galleries, and the overpowering, pulsating lights that blasted the crowd from the Main Stage.
