Steely Dan w/ Elvis Costello & The Imposters – July 6th – Red Rocks
Steely Dan returned to Red Rocks last week. The theme for the show was wet, but the audience was prepared and rain ponchos where the fashion of the day. Elvis Costello & The Imposters opened the night and got the crowd moving with some of his biggest numbers including “Watching the Detectives” and “Allison”. Despite the persistent rain the predominantly baby-boomer audience was in for the long haul, and when the Steely Dan hit the stage they were on their feet and the hits flowed like rain from above.

Freddi Gowdy and Chris Daniels: The Birth Of Cool In Colorado
When a fresh, exciting band called Freddi Henchi and the Soulsetters — fronted by Freddy “Freddi” Gowdy and Marvin “Henchi” Graves — came to Colorado in the early 1970s, a young musician named Chris Daniels was blown away by the sounds they brought with them. Now, more than 40 years later, Daniels has teamed up with Gowdy to release a new album that presents R&B and Funk in the way that it was intended to be heard. Celebrate the release of “Funky To The Bone” with them this Saturday at Herman’s Hideaway.

Umphrey’s McGee – June 7th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Umphrey’s McGee made a triumphant entrance to the Red Rocks stage with Edvard Griegs’ epic “Hall of The Mountain King” blaring on the PA. With drummer Kris Meyers adding some thunder to the backing track and bassist Ryan Stasik pumping up the crowd with the two handed rock lock, the crowd quickly whipped into a frenzy and the band dropped into “Divisions.” This was a perfect way to get things going and the syncopated fireworks displayed by guitar players Jake Cinniger and Brendon Bayliss were a sign of things to come.
