Estimated read time 5 min read

One of Denver’s most beloved “main drags,” and home to many of the cities best live music venues, Colfax avenue is just the right blend of seedy and hipster around The Bluebird Theater these days.

It’s always a treat to catch Wilco anywhere, but Red Rocks (or “Rust Rocks” as Jeff Tweedy said was a little more appropriate) makes it that much more special. With the incomparable Margo Price handling opening duties, this was an incredible night on The Rocks!

It’s always a treat to welcome Widespread Panic back to Colorado, but their annual stand at Red Rocks is something special. Celebrating their 64th, 65th, and 66th consecutive sellouts, the band deserves their own banner in the rafters…errrr wait…anyway…they deserve something special. Instead they served us something special on Friday when they delivered a crowd pleasing set of favorites that left some scratching their heads wondering what was left on the table for the rest of the weekend.

Wood Brothers – February 20th – Boulder Theater

Estimated read time 4 min read

The beloved trio that is known as the Wood Brothers never fails to bring out all the steps, guiding their audiences to gut-wrenching, overwhelming elation as they play and sing and dance to heaven – as the angelic and insanely talented musicians that they are. Us folks down in the Front Range were treated to the most intimate of the weekend Wood Brothers shows last snowy Friday evening. Chris and Oliver Wood, and drummer Jano Rix, have as much on-stage charisma as a 7-piece band, and thus inevitably had the Theater rockin’ all night long.
