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.

Colfax is the street that doesn’t sleep; open 24 hours there is always something going on. Last week the Gypsy Punk of Gogol Bordello poured out the venue doors of the Ogden Theater. Inside the crowd jumped with fists in the air as front-man Eugene Hütz whipped the crowd up into a frenzy with a stage presence that was very reminiscent of Iggy Pop. A whirling dervish, he moved in and out of the seven other band members as they played.

YAMN is a rock band rooted in psychedelic jams, but the best way to convey what they do is to call them a “party band”…and they are probably one of Denver’s best. Their live show is far from predictable and their originals sound like they were created during vision quests in the desert. After a year long break from performing, the intensity of last Friday’s performance at The Bluebird proved that YAMN is back in a big way.

The Ogden Theatre slowly filled in last Monday night for a show a lot of people had been looking forward to for months – two of 2012’s best indie rock acts on one bill. As show time neared, a healthy, though not sold-out, crowd of twenty and thirty somethings milled around, drinks in hand ready for a fun close to MLK Day. While Walkmen failed to wow the crowd, Father John Misty put on a hell of a stage show throughout the set with his strong, smooth vocals and his ridiculous drunk-white-girl dance moves.

The Bluebird had visitors from the relaxed north and the sizzling south when Bahamas and Calexico came to the crown jewel of the west last week. The sold-out show drew folks who came to get “Lost In The Light” by soaking up the sweetly simple sounds of opener Bahamas, and those who came to pound “Corona” and get rude and rambunctious in the process. It was an interesting mix of two worlds that did not overlap, but definitely collided on account of the crowded room.

For the third year in a row Drabkin put on a birthday concert which united his family, friends and fans at a packed Bluebird Theatre. While Drabkin can be usually be seen on stages playing by his lonesome, or with a stripped down band since he is of the singer-songwriter class…on Saturday he brought out the big guns for his birthday bash. Drabkin’s enthusiasm beamed from his face the entire night, and the crowd returned the favor. Birthday or no, this big-haired boy can put on a hell of a show.

Sometimes in life, you cross paths with people that you can’t help but like. The kind of genuine people that radiate positivity and throw sparks of life into a crowded room. Rob Drabkin, is definitely one of those people. Easily recognizable in the local music scene by his head of sky-high curly locks and infectious smile, Drabkin is kicking off the New Year by throwing himself his Annual Birthday Bash at The Bluebird Theatre tomorrow night.

The sold-out Bluebird was crowded and in high spirits as twenty and thirty-somethings finished their cigarettes, grabbed drinks from the bar, and got ready for the songs of Father John Misty’s recent release, Fear Fun. Misty’s last appearance in Denver was a drunken acoustic opening set for Youth Lagoon on the same stage in front of a largely disinterested crowd and from the looks of things on Friday, most of the crowd had missed that or, like myself, knew better and came for a second shot.

The Bluebird was packed this past weekend for night two of Greensky Bluegrass. From dready to dapper, people danced and stared as Greensky blew the minds of their home-away from home-town crowd. These guys bring tight vocal harmonies and well thought-out lyrics to an often silly or sloppy Jamgrass scene and their fans love them for it. From covers of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Stanley Brothers, to fantastic original tunes, this was one for the ages.

The Bluebird Theatre was a steamy house of Hip-Hop as heads nodded to the funky beats and dissident flow of Rhymesayer Brother Ali. The sold-out crowd had their eyes locked on the stage the entire night, throwing hands into the sky, and rapping along to the words they have made a part of their lives over the past few years. Hip-Hop was born out of dire circumstances, oppression and unrest, and it is good to see that some artists still keep the focus there.
