Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann put together his Billy and The Kids project back in 2014 for Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam and while the band played a smattering of shows over the next two years they hadn’t played together since 2016 when the took to a Hawaiian lawn in May for a pair of live-streamed show to celebrate the legendary drummer’s 75th birthday. Joining original “Kids” Tom Hamilton, Reed Mathis, and Aron Magner for these shows was Billy Strings on guitar, and James Casey on Sax. The shows were an overwhelming success and it came as a welcome surprise when Red Rocks announced a pair of concerts with the same powerhouse line-up.

The tradition of the Sunday afternoon matinee as a grand finale to Widespread Panic’s annual Red Rocks stand is damn near timeless and, this past Sunday, the band and their fans proved why yet again. Beach balls bounced around a hot and sweaty crowd that smelled like “ladies lying in the sun” due to all the sunscreen applied to fend off the baking mid-day sun, and there was a carefree, beach party attitude in the air.

Railroad Earth played for a packed house this Saturday night. On a sold-out night, the Ogden Theater can be tricky to navigate for a prime view. Security could be heard scolding people for blocking aisles and stairwells. Concert-goers were stern and unyielding, but wildly giddy to see their favorite Jersey bluegrass band. Not a soul in the audience was still and the seemingly harsh crowd let their hair down to dance with one another, proving that Bluegrass is the solution to the harsh and the unsympathetic.

Telluride Bluegrass. Once you’ve been there, whether it’s for a day, a week, or forty consecutive years, it becomes part of you. It’s the smiles on the faces of the performers as they look out from the stage over the most beautiful landscape their songs and melodies have ever echoed across. It is the meticulous, almost anal-retentive, organization of the event that somehow translates to a vibe conducive to dancing and singing and a passionately laid-back attitude from some of the most fervent music lovers anywhere.

Over the last ten years Assembly of Dust has crafted a unique sound that recalls the likes of The Band, Traffic and Neil Young. They have taken that early 70’s Americana swagger, put their own funky spin on it. Hooky melodies, poetic lyrics, and a profound depth of musicianship prompted USA Today to say Assembly of Dust has what it takes to “dazzle the Alt-Country universe.”

Dark Star Orchestra faced the daunting task of playing Denver on the heels of a sold-out run of Furthur shows at Red Rocks but from the first notes of “Shakedown Street” to the last notes of “Brokedown Palace” they proved they were up to the challenge. They got the modest crowd dancing as they showed us an energy and “oneness” on stage that prove they have the best parts of Grateful Dead vibe down pat.
