Groove Festival – Georgetown, CO – July 18th-20th

Estimated read time 14 min read

Groove Music and Arts Festival weighed heavy with Funk, with a liberal helping of Bluegrass and Jam on the side. It also included camping, at a very modest price, and several workshops. Families were strongly encouraged to come; children were free and there was a special camping area for families near the main stage area. While the placement of the bands on the schedule wasn’t perfect, the musical selection was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous and the people who came were equally beautiful. All in all, it was an amazing weekend.

Estimated read time 3 min read

The basic boombox from the 70’s and 80’s consisted of an AM/FM receiver, a cassette player, and two speakers, all housed in a plastic or metal case with a handle that made it portable. While back then the boombox was an integral part of Hip-Hop by artists like Fab Five Freddy, Schooly D, and the Beastie Boys, today BoomBox is a Electro-Funk-Rock duo from Alabama and they tore up The Ogden for two nights last weekend!
