My Morning Jacket – August 26th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 2 min read

There are some bands that seem to have a special connection with certain venues, and My Morning Jacket is one of them. The Kentucky quintet has been playing at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre since 2006, and each time they return, they deliver a show that is nothing short of spectacular. Their latest appearance, on a warm and clear summer night, was no exception.

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats – August 21st – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

A cloud covered sky kept the temperature modest for a late August evening as a blend of Denver’s hip converged on Morrison’s marvel…Red Rocks. The demographic ranged from hipster to soccer mom, hippie to yuppie. Very diverse within the upper middle class, Caucasian world. We had a mild urge to go Hunter S. Thompson on it, take an assortment of substances and try to mingle, but it was a Sunday.

Jimmy Cliff – July 28th – Botanic Gardens

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Botanic Gardens remained dry last Monday night when they played host to a sold-out crowd and one of the most passionate and soulful performers to ever come out of Jamaica: Mr. Jimmy Cliff. As is typical at The Gardens there were lavish spreads of rich creamy cheeses, perfectly ripe fruit, cured meats and of course wine, oh how the wine flows at The Gardens. It’s safe to say the crowd was in the palm of Cliff’s hand from the get-go but the legend never took it for granted and poured his heart and soul into every moment of the 75 minute set.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Iron & Wine – Paramount Theatre – Thursday, November 7th

Estimated read time 2 min read

Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam is truly a poet and a one man band. For his new album, ‘Ghost on Ghost,’ Beam sought to move from what he called the “anxious tension” of his two previous records. “This record felt like a reward to myself after the way I went about making the last few,” he says. Don’t miss him with a twelve piece band on Thursday night at The Paramount!

Jimmy Cliff – June 19th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Denver Reggae faithful turned up in force to catch Jimmy Cliff at The Ogden last week. It wasn’t sold-out, and there was room to move around, but the room was full and the energy was high . . . really high. It was great to see all these folks out on a Tuesday night and the variety in the crowd made for a great vibe. One thing was for sure, those that came out to catch Cliff were into his music and his performance made us all feel like we were on the beach, or at least near it, while it made us feel a little better about life.
