Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann put together his Billy and The Kids project back in 2014 for Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam and while the band played a smattering of shows over the next two years they hadn’t played together since 2016 when the took to a Hawaiian lawn in May for a pair of live-streamed show to celebrate the legendary drummer’s 75th birthday. Joining original “Kids” Tom Hamilton, Reed Mathis, and Aron Magner for these shows was Billy Strings on guitar, and James Casey on Sax. The shows were an overwhelming success and it came as a welcome surprise when Red Rocks announced a pair of concerts with the same powerhouse line-up.

There’s magic in the air when Railroad Earth comes to town. Last September the band produced a sweeping live film of their performance at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Needless to say it was a monumental show and this year would be hard pressed to surpass the energy and set list from the show that made fans swoon. Anytime you get to hear Railroad Earth play two sets it’s a special experience for the band and attendees but the 2014 Red Rocks set a standard that is difficult to match.

With so many out and about in Denver to celebrate the 4/20 “holiday,” mellow vibes quickly turned to desperation as the box office attendant posted the “Sold-Out” sign in front of the iconic Ogden Theatre. While it may have been a surprise to some that a band making their Denver debut on a Monday night sold-out the 1,700 person theater, the performance Billy and The Kids turned in showed why it’s always smart to grab your tickets in advance.

Three writers. One festival. Perspective is everything, so when Listen Up Denver! set out to cover the second year of Arise Music Festival, we made sure we were stocked up. The weekend at Sunrise Ranch included more than 100 musical acts as well as 100+ workshops, a deluge of artists, installations and crafters, a barrage of food purveyors, and of course, camping.With such a wide array of sensory delights to document, we thought it best to send a team to convey the full experience of Arise.
