The tradition of the Sunday afternoon matinee as a grand finale to Widespread Panic’s annual Red Rocks stand is damn near timeless and, this past Sunday, the band and their fans proved why yet again. Beach balls bounced around a hot and sweaty crowd that smelled like “ladies lying in the sun” due to all the sunscreen applied to fend off the baking mid-day sun, and there was a carefree, beach party attitude in the air.

Dobro penetrated brick walls as I waited in line for the box office on Saturday. Inside the Fillmore Auditorium, soundcheck was unfolding for a huge night of music rooted in tradition, but tied to the heartbeat of the present. Inside, three bands, all with ties to Colorado, waited to play for the massive auditorium. There were flannels, puffy coats, vests, dresses, boots and of course, beards all there to witness a great evening of Americana that wrapped with all of the musicians onstage singing “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

Twenty minutes before the doors of The Ogden opened, the line to get in already stretched down the street and around the corner and air was buzzing with excitement. Once inside, grey hair peppered the room as 60 and 70 somethings who had probably seen Dylan or Cash in their prime jockeyed for position at the bar next to fresh young faces who will surely be telling their children that they saw Jason Isbell in his.

Union Driftwood, the ever-fascinating Colorado native band, is just picking up their pace. The band debuted in 2011, and even though members have shifted, the current line-up seems to be taking them in the right direction. As a band, they play because they need to. For them it’s more than a hobby, or a passion, it’s true love. Union Driftwood will perform from 4:30 until 5:15 at Park House this Saturday, August 1st.

On Friday, Red Rocks was a familiar scene of roving vendors and tailgate parties as the anticipation in the crowd built for Widespread Panic to kick off their annual three night run on our hallowed home court. The evening started with John Bell (JB) saying a few words about the Special Olympics before the four Colorado athletes competing this summer in Los Angeles were introduced on stage as torchbearers displayed the flame which was making it’s way through Colorado enroute to Los Angeles where the games will open on July 25th.

A light rain broke and gray skies hung over Red Rocks ahead of Thursday night’s show with multi-genre rocker, Ryan Adams. Backed by a killer new band, he ripped through a setlist that played like a greatest hits album and spanned his discography. The threat of lightning shutting down the show was constant, but Adams was able to fit in two hours of music and one hell of a show before it eventually did.

It was one heck of a weekend with the guys of Railroad Earth, who were in town for their annual January run in Denver. Three jam-packed shows of Railroad Earth’s incandescent music made for yet another one of the greatest weekends in the Denver live music circuit. If anyone knows how to throw a great show, it is those six strapping lads of Railroad Earth – top-notch guys, unparalleled musicians, and some dang impressive entertainers.

All the way back in 2005, Denver’s own Polytoxic started this tradition at the former Dulcinea’s 100th Monkey (now the 1UP-Colfax) just a half-block from the doors of The Fillmore. The boys brought up local musicians to help recreate The Band’s 1976 concert, The Last Waltz. It was the first such tribute for Denver and with so much success, Polytoxic started the Thanksgiving eve Tradition. Now, ten years later, after residencies at Cervantes’ and The Ogden, things have come almost full circle.

The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival is a one-of-a-kind music meets beer experience. Sure there are festivals all summer long in this idyllic little mountain town, but none of them blend two things so suited for each other: world class Blues music and world class beer. While it’s a must-see bucket-list trip for a lover of either of the festival’s main attractions, it’s also the kind of place that welcomes newbies with open arms, full glasses, and three solid days of music.
