If you love Rocky Mountain Bluegrass as much as we do, you’ve surely happened upon the skilled sounds of Trout Steak Revival. The quintet is making waves in our little pond with their elaborate harmonies, which are backed by strong instrumentation and impressive song writing abilities. While the group hails out of Denver, their music was inspired by what lies just beyond our city in the “misty high country” where they say the music was born. They started as an informal Bluegrass Jam group and have made huge leaps in years since.

Boulder Theater was home to a bit of an Americana supergroup and for many in the crowd it was a a nervous joy to be that close to musicians as amazing as Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, and John Paul Jones. The group was dressed in their Nashville finest with cowboy boots, hats and enough denim to make old Levi Strauss blush. The evening of Bluegrass and Country inflected Folk covered songs from each artist as well as some notable covers.

“When in doubt…go completely out.” Legendary musician and Zen master Col. Bruce Hampton Ret. uttered these words in Mike Gordon’s seminal feature film, Outside Out. Mike has always lived by this creed whether it be providing Phish with some of its weirder elements—speaking relatively of course—or integrating the “Philosophy of Out” into his ever evolving solo work. For Gordon, prepositions like “out” and “in” are not dichotomous, but rather, synonymous.

On the eve of New Year’s Eve, Yonder Mountain String Band sold-out a benefit concert for flood-ravaged Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, Colorado. For weeks there had been desperate attempts made for those who hadn’t been quick enough in buying tickets, so expectations were unusually high. While Kinfolk up and down the Front Range had been looking forward to the whole five night run for months, this particular night was even more anticipated with profits going straight to aid the reconstruction of Planet Bluegrass.

A line of casually dressed baby boomers wrapped around the corner of 14th & Spruce Tuesday in anticipation of blues legend Buddy Guy at a near capacity Boulder Theater. It was Buddy’s second Colorado visit in three months and aside from swapping red rocks for salmon and turquoise walls, the show was quite a bit similar. It was night of beer drinking, gospel style audience affirmation, stories, and dirty overdriven blues.

There have been many in-stores at Twist & Shout over the years. Some, like Trey Anastasio and String Cheese Incident, were more or less ticketed affairs that saw lines stretch around the block and scalpers get top-dollar for wristbands. Others, like Tuesday’s intimate acoustic set with Mike Doughty, are much more mellow, laid back events. Though it only lasted 30 minutes, the ten song set showcased Doughty then and now and satisfied the hardcore fans in attendance.

Another sold-out show packed the Boulder Theater last Tuesday night. Midterms beware, for the English electronic duo Disclosure was the ultimate excuse to close up those textbooks and let loose for a few hours. Girls in sparkly tees and boys in tacky button-ups spilled out into the streets and upon entering the venue, one could tell the night was due for reckless head banging as a tone of youthful, carefree living filled the room.
