MarchFourth Marching Band – June 7th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

MarchFourth Marching Band rolled into town like a bus full of Gypsy circus performers and filled The Bluebird with explosive sights and sounds. This bouncing brass band hails from Portland and they sure keep it wonderfully weird. Stilt walkers, acrobats and an 18 piece band is far from normal at The Bluebird, and that’s why Denver followed this band into the venue like they were following the pied piper into the eye of a beautiful storm that blew everyone’s inhibitions away.

Estimated read time 17 min read

Seven hours Southwest of Denver, nestled in a box canyon surrounded by steep cliffs and Aspen trees, lies an old mining town that has been the setting for many a magical musical memory. As its name implies, the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival was started 19 years ago to celebrate craft beer and a specific genre of music; but over the years the festival line-up has became more diverse, and this year’s festivities raised the bar and established Telluride Blues and Brews as a festival that ANY music lover would want to attend.

Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.
