Sure this festival is about music, but more than that it’s about the community that surrounds the music as performers stand in line alongside fans for a bowl of Sister’s Dumplings, hard fought for tarp dash numbers are graciously given away to unsuspecting families, and strangers look out for each other on the slippery river rocks. For three days each August the real world melts away as we join the rest of the Folks on Planet Bluegrass.

For the third year in a row Drabkin put on a birthday concert which united his family, friends and fans at a packed Bluebird Theatre. While Drabkin can be usually be seen on stages playing by his lonesome, or with a stripped down band since he is of the singer-songwriter class…on Saturday he brought out the big guns for his birthday bash. Drabkin’s enthusiasm beamed from his face the entire night, and the crowd returned the favor. Birthday or no, this big-haired boy can put on a hell of a show.

As the end of 2012 quickly approached, a nearly capacity crowd gathered at The Aggie Theater in Fort Collins for the return of Nederland favorites, Elephant Revival. Although this year’s crop of New Year’s Eve shows was strong across the Front Range, the Aggie was still packed to the brim with a loving community of local music fans. Over the course of the night the crowd treated to thrilling performances from newcomers Meandering Orange, local Fort Collins sisters, SHEL and two incredible sets from Elephant Revival.

Just outside of Fort Collins, four sisters fill a family home with sounds only siblings could make. Combining Classical structure with Folk lyrics, Country catchiness, Bluegrass beauty and an intense passion, SHEL (Sarah, Hannah, Eva, Liza) is band full of depth and delight. Only one album deep into what is sure to be a lengthy career, SHEL has already found success without necessarily looking for it. Their music is as natural as the setting they create it in, and forming the band seemed more their fate than a decision.

As Elephant Revival came on stage at The Bluebird on Friday, their appearance set the tone for the performance before a note was ever played. Period dress for some, bare feet for others, this band looked exactly the way they sound. There were technically advanced instrumental pieces, foot stomping rhythmic explosions, bouncy Reggae inspired riffs, and even some jammed out Country. It was one of those shows that transcended an explanation and demanded you feel it.

The Greencards stellar set on Friday night ranged from the fast-picking “Rivertown,” to the freaky “Avenue,” to the achingly beautiful “Ghost of Who We Were,” and they also featured a number of songs off their new album ‘Brick.’ Carol Young’s voice was sweet and pitch-perfect, and the band’s high energy performance wowed the crowd.
