PICK OF THE WEEK: Shakey Graves – Ogden Theatre – Friday & Saturday, October 23rd & 24th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Alejandro Rose-Garcia is professionally known as Shakey Graves, and with his new record, And the War Came, he extends the ground—emotionally and sonically—broken by his 2011 self-released debut album, Roll the Bones, which brought him national acclaim and, three years later, still ranks near the top of Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts.

Tennis – November 7th – Bluebird Theater

Estimated read time 4 min read

Denver band Tennis has seen the success of big stages, TV appearances, and critical acclaim, however their homecoming show Friday night at the Bluebird seemed to lack the same fanfare. The evening was a showcase of some great moments and great material but it didn’t quite reach the fever pitch you’d expect for a new album and a home audience. In fact, the experience was undermined at times by lackluster stage presence and muted fan enthusiasm.

Chipotle’s Cultivate Festival – October 6th – City Park

Estimated read time 7 min read

Last weekend Chipotle’s first annual Cultivate Festival rolled into Denver and was met with frigid temps (for this time of year anyway), grey skies, and even some sustained snow showers. While this unseasonable weather probably kept a few thousand people away from the festival, it didn’t dampen the spirits of those who made it out to City Park bundled up against the arctic blast to enjoy a day of food, drinks, and of course, music. In the end, despite the cold, it was a smashing success in my mind and will be a great addition to the fall out here.

Tennis & Paper Bird – June 16th – Chautauqua Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

A modest crowd gathered at Chautauqua in Boulder Saturday evening for the return of two young local bands. Both Paper Bird and Tennis hail from Colorado and this marked their first experience with the “musical theater” that is Chautauqua auditorium. It was certainly a beautiful evening and the hallowed auditorium transported the crowd to a different era. It is calm, quiet and played a brilliant host to the angelic vocal talents that Paper Bird and Tennis both possess.

Tennis – February 16th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

Thursday night was a special occasion for the Denver music scene. It was a night where yet another local band poised for the big time, would play new songs for the hometown crowd. Tennis, the Denver-based pop band, has released their second full length album, “Young and Old,” and celebrated at The Bluebird before hitting the road on a 26-stop tour that will zigzag the band across the country, ending May 8th in Austin, TX. There is no band in any genre that sounds like Tennis. They are pushing the limits of Pop, and that’s refreshing.
