It’s always a party when The Congress plays and last Friday night was no different. With old friends high-fiving and hugging out under the marquee and inside the great little theater on Colfax, there was a feeling of family hanging in the air. When the boys in The Congress lived in Denver they were frequently found at The Bluebird, both as fans and performers. Now they have graduated to the national touring scene and came back to their old stomping grounds to strut their stuff!

Last weekend The Greyboy Allstars came straight out of the 70’s on a groove of Funk, Soul, and Jazz. The band was in town supporting their new album, ‘Inland Emperor,’ which dropped this week, and the crowd filled in fast and early at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on both Friday and Saturday nights. Supported by Dumpstaphunk on Friday night and Denver’s own The Congress on Saturday, it was a weekend of unforgettable music, and luckily all three bands have new albums out to keep the party going.

Soul music has the wonderful property of evoking memories of musical marks made on the heart and that’s just one of the many reasons why the new EP from The Congress is quickly working its way into heavy rotation on our playlists. Recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine in an old Masonic Temple in Berthoud, CO, “The Loft Tapes” pays tribute to the band’s influences with a collection of super chilled Soul classics that have a fittingly scratchy and vintage vibe.

The sidewalks leading to The Ogden Theatre were packed this past weekend, not only because moe. was in town for a two-night run, but because a pair of Colorado’s favorite bands were opening the shows. The lines to get in the door started early and, on both nights, the theater was packed from the pit to the balcony for the duration. It’s not easy task to win over a room full of inpatient jamband fans, but both these bands did it by playing their hearts out and we are proud they call Denver home!

The Bluebird Theatre was filled with southern charm on Friday night. The Congress may be local, but their roots reach clear across the country. Their home away from home is the South, and according to front man Jonathan Meadows, they “have a huge family from Virginia all the way to Mississippi.” Well those folks who saw them back East before moving out West sure are supporting them here in Denver! A truly powerful power-trio; The Congress put the pedal to the floor from the first note, and they kept it full throttle all night long.
