For anyone that’s read my work on this site over the years, it’s probably no surprise to see this piece posted. This was my 16th Folks Fest and it still holds every bit of the magic of that first one all those years ago, and probably more. My wife and I started going to this glorious August event shortly after we started dating. We’ve since married and had a daughter who has been to every Folks Fest that has taken place during her lifetime. She’s grown up at Planet Bluegrass and now, at nine years old, we don’t hesitate to let her have the run of the Festival grounds over the course of the weekend.

Denver Botanic Gardens concerts are always a true marker of summer. The blossoms, the warm air, the threatening clouds, and the wine, oh the wine. There are very few summer traditions in this town that are more fun than packing up a picnic and some wine, and heading to the gardens for a show. For this one, Gaby Moreno and the Austin based David Garza set a very high bar as the openers, but it was one that the uniquely talented Punch Brothers cleared with grace.

The Botanic Gardens was beautiful on Monday night. Though storms swirled nearby, not a drop of rain fell on the gardens and the crowd was linen clad and ready for some great music. Though there was a smattering of younger faces in the bowl, the vast majority of the audience was over 40 and sat back, wine glass in hand, to enjoy some adult contemporary hits from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Boy, were they in for a surprise.
