Billy Strings – December 13th & 14th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

This past weekend, the Denver music community helped usher one of the best young players in the country to the next level. Back in September, when it was announced that Billy Strings would be playing two nights at The Ogden, the buzz was deafening but people were initially skeptical that he would sell out both shows. Well, tickets went on sale and disappeared so quickly that AEG added a third night and, guess what, those vanished as well. In mere minutes, Strings sold out three nights at the venerable Colfax theater.

The Disco Biscuits – June 3rd – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 10 min read

After three rowdy nights at The Ogden Theatre, anticipation levels were high to see if The Disco Biscuits could finally deliver a Red Rocks performance for the ages. While they have had some memorable moments, the band had yet to play the front-to-back classic on The Rocks. With how well the band had been playing of late, and with how unbelievably good the previous three nights were, fans were confident this was their year and, to their delight, that confidence was rewarded with easily the best show the band had played at Red Rocks to date.

The self-titled record marries percussive grooves, which have always been central to St Germain’s sound, with a new element: traditional Malian music.

Estimated read time 6 min read

J2G Live has brought us so many great shows here in Denver that have become Colorado traditions like Dance Party Time Machine, Love Shack, and School’s Out, not to mention getting us to see our favorites bands safe and sound all while having a blast on their buses. What you may not know is that it all started with “Foolin’ Around in the 90’s” back in 2011, which eventually morphed into what we know today as Revenge of the 90’s.

After releasing a live album at the top of 2015, Dr. Dog immediately began an intense collaboration with The Pig Iron Theatre Company, setting out to present their legendary (though still unreleased) 1999 album, The Psychedelic Swamp, in theatrical form. With a cast of 30 and an oversized production budget, the performances amazed both rock fans and theater-goers alike, the Philadelphia Inquirer’s pop critic called it “Ingenious” and “Full of heart and soul.”

PICK OF THE WEEK: Ryan Bingham – Ogden Theatre – Wednesday, November 25th & Friday, November 27th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Ryan Bingham knows a thing or two about pain. He learned the emotional aspect early in life, when shuttling between small towns and family members in the hardscrabble ranching communities of West Texas and New Mexico — and became well-acquainted with the physical facets during his years on the Southwestern rodeo circuit.

Sturgill Simpson – November 6th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

Soaked with whiskey, a brawl, and the deepest voice in country music, The Ogden Theatre was the place to be last Friday on night two of Sturgill Simpson’s stop through Denver. As expected, The Ogden Theatre most likely oversold tickets, and the room that had been sold-out for months was rocking and shaking. That said, a bummer of a light show only made the older, cranky crowd even more noticeable, and unfortunately the sold-out room was loud with talking throughout almost every song.
