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.

Telluride Blues & Brews is always a one-of-a-kind weekend in paradise, but with bluebird skies, beautiful weather, and a notable line-up, this year was special. While it’s tough to complain about anything when in Telluride, stellar sets from the likes of Don Bryant, Marcus King Band, Monophonics, Gov’t Mule, and Robert Plant really pushed this one over the top!

Last Thursday’s late-summer evening with Gov’t Mule, moe. and Blackberry Smoke was a highly anticipated date on the Red Rocks calendar. As fans arrived, the more overtly branded Mule fans heavily populated the crowd. Not to be discounted: moe.’s summer tour has been choked full of great performances and wild energy so there was plenty of anticipation in the venue for the New York rockers that split the bill.

The Boulder Theater was charged last Tuesday night as longtime fans waited for the legendary Gregg Allman to take the stage before the nearly capacity crowd. While the majority of those who packed the beautiful Art Deco theater were silver haired and pushing 60 (and with seated tickets on the lower level priced at $90, that’s not a surprise) there was a healthy contingent of younger fans who had no doubt been brought up on Allman’s music and wanted to check this one off the bucket list.

Soul music is born of spirit and the Nth Power creates spirited sounds straight from their souls. This “super-group” of a band is made of some of the best in the business, and every member is now prioritizing the once side-project. Not only is the band creating beautiful sounds, they are pulling on heart strings with some of the most passionate soul-music to have ever been made…and that is no exaggeration. According to co-founder Nigel Hall, this is more than a band, it’s home.

Warren Haynes and The Colorado Symphony Orchestra performed the music of Jerry Garcia on a serene night and Deadhead’s came from out of the woodwork to unite. Young, old. Dentists, dopers and doctors. Birkenstocks and Baby Boomers, wookies and wanderers. Anyone who ever loved the music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead appreciated the special setting his tunes were being payed tribute in. Well, almost everyone.

Scott Sharrard is one of an increasingly rare breed of musician in today’s popular music climate. Sharrard’s music follows in the tradition of classic Rhythm and Blues, but his sound and songs are such that it still sounds fresh and vital, like its happening now. While the music is a bit more guitar-oriented, fans of the more recent wave of Rhythm and Blues groups and artists like Raphael Saadiq, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Tedeschi Trucks Band would definitely find a lot to enjoy here.

Seven hours Southwest of Denver, nestled in a box canyon surrounded by steep cliffs and Aspen trees, lies an old mining town that has been the setting for many a magical musical memory. As its name implies, the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival was started 19 years ago to celebrate craft beer and a specific genre of music; but over the years the festival line-up has became more diverse, and this year’s festivities raised the bar and established Telluride Blues and Brews as a festival that ANY music lover would want to attend.

Furthur rolled into Colorado for a late summer run of shows at Red Rocks last week and though it was late in September, the weather was perfect for face melting. Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have surrounded themselves with a young, energetic group of players who have, with some sage guidance, re-animated the Grateful Dead catalog beautifully. They seemed to channel the energy of the ’89 Dead in both vigor and accuracy and even managed to breathe new life into “Dark Star.”
