The String Cheese Incident – December 31st – 1stBank Center
The excitement in the air was palpable at 1stBank Center last week. Costumes abounded, glitter and blinking lights dazzled the eyes, and thousands of balloons hung suspended from the ceiling in giant nets. It was a String Cheese New Year’s Eve Incident and no one in the room would have expected anything less.They played well, very well even, but there was something missing this New Year’s at 1stBank. String Cheese fans know what the band is capable of, and on nights like this, the’ve come to expect it . . . for better . . . or worse.
Bonnie Raitt – October 17th – Bellco Theatre
A touching and empowering night of music from the legendary Miss Bonnie Raitt met every Bonnie fan’s expectations at the intimate Bellco Theatre in mid-October. The 5,000-seat venue had to be sold out, if not close to it and the set on stage was gorgeous with vibrant panels of purple, blue, and black that glittered behind the band as they tore through Raitt’s vast catalog of Blues and Soul inspired Pop. With a huge smile on her face and continually improving slide guitar chops, Raitt has carved her way into true legend status.

Punch Brothers – March 12th – The Bluebird Theatre
Punch Brothers have a special place in the hearts of Colorado bluegrass lovers, and their Monday night performance at The Bluebird Theatre felt as if it were in front of a home-town crowd.

In that sense, I guess you could say that Colorado helped give birth to Punch Brothers, and we should be able to claim them as our own in some way.
