Sharon Van Etten – June 24th – Bluebird Theater

Estimated read time 3 min read

Hip twenty and thirty-somethings loosely filled the Bluebird Theater for Brooklyn-based melancholic indie rocker Sharon Van Etten who played a fourteen song set that traversed her entire catalog. The well blogged-about, dour songwriter just released her fourth album to critical praise and brought this unabashedly forthcoming music to eager ears at the Bluebird. Tears were shed, heartstrings were pulled, and, in the end, it seemed as if everyone in the crowd left drained but satisfied.

Pickwick & Tommy Malone – May 8th – eTown Hall

Estimated read time 5 min read

Catching a show at eTown Hall feels a bit like going to church on a Sunday morning. A good amount of this probably due to the fact that eTown Hall is a renovated church building but the community feel of the venue also contributes to that feeling. Last week’s eTown taping featured Seattle’s Pickwick and Subdudes frontman Tommy Malone. Though it won’t hit the airwaves for a month or two, you won’t want to miss this one when it’s heard by over a million listeners across the country.

Estimated read time 4 min read

From the opening notes of “Brother Roland” until the final echoes of “Windowsill” died away, the audience was completely invested in the performance and it was clear that the boys in Pickwick were having the time of their lives. Only occasionally picking up a tambourine, frontman Galen Disston worked the stage, and the mic, like a seasoned veteran as he poured himself into each and every song the band cranked through.

Last Wednesday night, The Bluebird showcased a strange combination of dark and brooding shoegaze and freshly confident folk sounds. While The War On Drugs bulging reverb laden tones coursed through the theatre, many stood waiting patiently for Van Etten and her band put their emotions on display and conjure up emotional images. Sharon Van Etten’s performance was stunning and she found a unique niche in our hearts with her folky sounds and charming vocals that are sure to bring in a bigger crowd at her next Denver appearance.
