John Hiatt & Taj Mahal – August 13th – Chautauqua Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Chautauqua Auditorium never fails to set its own tone with each event it hosts. The historic building is set in the shadow of the Flatirons and packs a visual wow factor as you amble up the hill to the door, but then drives it home as you take your seat and absorb all the warm, wood ambiance that is standard show experience in the 116 year old structure. This line-up of the Taj Mahal Trio and John Hiatt & The Combo was a true whopper and, as you can imagine, the show was sold-out.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – December 31st – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 5 min read

Chris Robinson took a full house at Cervantes’ on a psychedelic journey through old songs, new songs, and a myriad of influences that could not have happened without his new band, The Brotherhood, standing behind him. CRB is not The Crowes, The Dead, or anyone else…it is a new journey being taken by a group of seasoned musicians, and it is a great trip to take…magically mellow as a mushroom.

It was a truly majestic performance that seemed tailor made for the venue.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood – July 13th – Cervantes’ Ballroom

Estimated read time 5 min read

Friday night at Cervantes’ with Chris Robinson’s new band? Yes please . . . these two things seem like they fit hand in hand. While the show was mellower than expected, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The band put together two sets of music that showcased their skill and range as artists as they drew on tunes from their recent album, an upcoming one, and of course a few tunes recorded by The Black Crowes. In the end, it was a fun night of music orchestrated by one of the masters of his genre.
