Estimated read time 5 min read

Last Thursday’s late-summer evening with Gov’t Mule, moe. and Blackberry Smoke was a highly anticipated date on the Red Rocks calendar. As fans arrived, the more overtly branded Mule fans heavily populated the crowd. Not to be discounted: moe.’s summer tour has been choked full of great performances and wild energy so there was plenty of anticipation in the venue for the New York rockers that split the bill.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Assembly of Dust – Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom – Friday & Saturday January 17th & 18th

Estimated read time 1 min read

Over the last ten years Assembly of Dust has crafted a unique sound that recalls the likes of The Band, Traffic and Neil Young. They have taken that early 70’s Americana swagger, put their own funky spin on it.

moe. – December 6th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

As the temperatures dropped last Friday in Denver, people packed into the Ogden to see the Progressive Rock band moe. kick off their winter tour. Smiles swarmed the crowd as old friends reunited as the inevitably do when moe. comes to town; it’s nice to be amongst decent people when you are in a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. The 30-year old band delivered an impressive performance; the only disappointment from the evening was its inevitable end–not that it had ended early, but simply that it couldn’t go on forever.

Connecting with the audience is something moe. strives to do at every live show.

Whenever these five musicians walked onstage at The Ogden this past weekend, the crowd erupted and proved moe. has been successful at keeping its fans close and its “moe.rons” closer.
