WinterWonderGrass – Steamboat Springs – February 23rd, 24th, 25th

Estimated read time 7 min read

First of all, before we get too far down the road, each and every person who was in Steamboat for WinterWonderGrass last weekend is to be commended. From employees and organizers to fans and musicians, this was a dedicated bunch. Temperatures plunged down into the single digits as they worked, danced, poured, and played, but those who played music up on the big stage have to be singled out as the most hardcore of them all. While many could bundle up and put on the heaviest of ski gloves to keep fingers from freezing solid, those musicians had to keep their fingers dancing on the strings, skins, and keys in a vain attempt to keep the blood flowing.

Sturgill Simpson – November 6th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

Soaked with whiskey, a brawl, and the deepest voice in country music, The Ogden Theatre was the place to be last Friday on night two of Sturgill Simpson’s stop through Denver. As expected, The Ogden Theatre most likely oversold tickets, and the room that had been sold-out for months was rocking and shaking. That said, a bummer of a light show only made the older, cranky crowd even more noticeable, and unfortunately the sold-out room was loud with talking throughout almost every song.

The White Buffalo – March 24th – The Fox Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

The White Buffalo has been playing for a while, so he is not new on the scene, but he is new to overpowering it. When The White Buffalo is in the room, he casts a shadow upon those around him. It is not his physical stature, which is formidable, but the raw emotion he pours out in his songs and playing. Simply put it’s his presence that is the most commanding. Opening with “Carnage,” he foreshadowed the night ahead, as he trampled the audience, stole our souls, and left our bodies just lying there.

Ryan Bingham – February 25th – The Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

While there are certainly some that pin the Country Artist tag on Bingham and his band, he made it a point during his set to try to toss off that label. With the nearly psychedelic jams that developed out of “Hard Times” and “Direction of the Wind” it’s clear that The Dead Horses are much more than a country band.
