20 Questions with The Crooked Streets

Estimated read time 9 min read

From Open Mic night to editor’s pick, Mathias Olson has come along way to find himself on the beat of The Crooked Streets. The band formed in 2011 when the singer/songwriter decided to take his solo project to the next level. Three years and several craigslist ads later, he now fronts the five-piece Denver Indie Folk band that many locals have come to love. Their crooning gypsy sound is gritty but has a certain charm–the shabby chic sort of feel that is so common of the great modern Indie Folk groups of our time.

The Tallest Man on Earth – June 1st – The Ogden Theatre

Case in point: Folk singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, also known as The Tallest Man on Earth, is 30, married and Swedish. He’s also not particularly tall, much less the tallest (Google suggests he is 5’7″). Yet, at Matsson’s show at the Ogden Theatre last Saturday, you could have sworn people were there to see the Paul Bunyan-Woody Guthrie equivalent of Justin Timberlake.
