The Motet – July 22nd – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

While there were some ominous clouds hanging over Red Rocks as we climbed the stairs, and the sky opened up and lightning slashed across the sky stalling our entrance, it couldn’t put a damper on possibly the best overall bill at Red Rocks this summer. Even though we were momentarily barred entrance and in limbo on the stairs, everybody was in high spirits. When we finally got in we were treated to a spectacular double rainbow off to the west over directly over the stage. What does it all mean? It meant a golden night for Colorado music!

Nightmares on Wax (DJ Set) – March 27th – Summit Music Hall

Estimated read time 5 min read

Fans old and new came out to the Summit Music Hall to glimpse the DJ stylings of legendary EDM producer Nighmares on Wax. The crowd was nicely varied and in great spirits; the music was chill, groovy and fairly well received, but was also somewhat lackluster, maybe because it was Thursday, and maybe because the headlining act did not go on until 12:30am. Good vibes, indeed. Not crazy, hyper dance party vibes. But good vibes.
