Hiss Golden Messenger – March 4th – Bluebird Theater

Estimated read time 3 min read

Finally! I finally got to catch a full band Hiss Golden Messenger show! I’ve been a fan of this band for a long time, and the last few time MC Taylor and his band have been through Denver our schedules haven’t aligned. I got to see Taylor play a solo show at Union Station a few years back, and that was a very special show but I was longing for the big, full sound of the band and I was not disappointed!

Space Orphan (Album Release Party) – Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom – Friday, September 30th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Progressive old school. What does that even mean? For this group, it means providing a soulful, funky sound that is heavily based on groove, just as bands like The Meters and James Brown did in years past. But it also means taking those classic, danceable elements, and adding a few new tricks. Space Orphan will hit you in your soul and keep you dancing at the same time.

The Motet – July 22nd – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

While there were some ominous clouds hanging over Red Rocks as we climbed the stairs, and the sky opened up and lightning slashed across the sky stalling our entrance, it couldn’t put a damper on possibly the best overall bill at Red Rocks this summer. Even though we were momentarily barred entrance and in limbo on the stairs, everybody was in high spirits. When we finally got in we were treated to a spectacular double rainbow off to the west over directly over the stage. What does it all mean? It meant a golden night for Colorado music!
