I think it’s become a goal of the team up at Planet Bluegrass to out-do themselves from year to year with the line-up of the Folks Festival. While last year featured headliners Jackson Browne, The Weir Robinson Greene Trio, and Brandi Carlile, this year brought Iron & Wine, Amos Lee, and Lyle Lovett to the intimate stage by the river in Lyons and each one mesmerized and surprised as they entertained the sold-out crowd.

Despite the hordes of people who filled the beautiful park that surrounds the old barn under the Flatirons in Boulder, Monday night at Chautauqua proved to be the listening session stop of the group’s three night Colorado run. The 19th century room was the perfect setting for this trio to strut their stuff and each of them commented on it at least once from the stage. When it was all over they had truly rocked our souls. The power of music is undeniable and Bobby, Chris and Jackie delivered a show won’t soon be forgotten.

There’s nothing like a sunny, Sunday evening in the Poudre Canyon to play host to a fantastic acoustic performance by three of the best in the business and Bob Weir, Jackie Greene and Chris Robinson fit the bill perfectly on Sunday as their short acoustic tour rolled into the cozy confines of Mishawaka Amphitheatre. Although the energy stayed consistently mellow throughout the whole show, this was still an incredible performance and a fantastic way to end the weekend.

When the Weir Robinson Greene Trio rolled through the front range for three dates that kicked off on Saturday night in Boulder, it was not only a Deadheads dream come true, but also dream come true for fans of The Black Crowes, Chris Robinson, Jackie Greene, and the other projects these three great musicians have been involved in over the years. The three men came together with a shared for Folk, Blues, and the deeply rooted traditions of American music and their setlists proved that as they didn’t repeat a song over the course of six sets of music.

Split Lip Rayfield is often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal. No other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass, mandolin, and banjo. Together, these three men burn up speakers and stages alike as they tour and play music for the fan faithful. Mando player Wayne Gottstine recently took some time to share with us at Listen Up Denver! about the documentary Never Make it Home, The Split Livers, Wakarusa, and why we should come out and see them this weekend.

Fifteen albums and almost twenty years have passed since G. Love & Special Sauce was the house band at The Plough and Stars in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Garrett Dutton (aka G. Love) and his band’s enthusiasm for playing music and constant touring have steadily built a large and well deserved fan base across the country. You can catch their brand of Hip-Hop Blues this Saturday March 10th at The Ogden Theatre, or later this month on March 22nd at the Bud Light Street Beat in Vail.
