Maceo Parker: his name is synonymous with Funky Music. His pedigree is impeccable. His band: the tightest little Funk orchestra on earth. he’s played with each and every leader of Funk, his start with James Brown, which led to jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton and stretching out with Bootsy’s Rubber Band. He’s the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of Funk in one golden thread.

For the Colorado-native, Nederland-local band that they are, The Magic Beans have quite the large and loyal following, and deservedly so. Known to fans as “Space Funk,” the Beans’ groove-grass sound is everywhere. From festivals like Groove, to Arise, to their very own Beanstalk, there is always room from that infamously mountainous sound that separates the Magic Beans from the rest.

Rolling up to Cervantes’ on this Friday night felt good. It was one of those mild, late summer Colorado evenings that force you to love Denver. Not to mention, John Brown’s Body was in town, and for those who know JBB – it’s kind of a big deal. Apparently the word is getting out because the large Cervante’s ballroom was full. JBB is an elite Roots Reggae Dub act and the fans on hand were in the know as they are essentially the core of the Denver Reggae scene. It was a good crowd and there were good vibes all around.

The best music is made collaboratively. Though new talent pops up regularly, it seems like bands that make the quickest movement to the spotlight are the Frankenstein bands–we all know them. Some are more regular than others. Certainly, every once in a while a musician happens upon another musician, and together they make something that is a graduated version of what they each made alone. When four experienced, talented and well-seasoned musicians come together in this way, you end up with a band like Ignatius Reilly.

Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom got busy early Saturday night, as attendees of the LOHI Music Festival made their way from the event grounds to Five Points for part two. The last set of moe. ended at 10pm, getting fans all hot and bothered and leaving them begging for more. With a new moon on the rise, when the festival ended, it was apparent that Denver was not ready for bed yet. The second half of the festivities included performances from The Pimps of Joytime, Everyone Orchestra featuring members of moe. and the Motet, and The Heavy Pets.

In 2011, after more than 20 years of intense gigging and recording, Chris Robinson set off to shape something new, a fresh rock mythology, a breathing kaleidoscopic thing stuffed with chooglin’ soul, bedrock boogie and shuffling wisdom birthed in intimate clubs and among the tall trees of the Golden State and eventually taken nationwide as the Chris Robinson Brotherhood evolved. Do yourself a favor and check out these shows!

Stanton Moore is a busy man. When we caught up with him just before the blissful insanity that is the New Orleans Jazz Fest, he was preparing for thirty gigs in eleven days. But there will be no rest for Mr. Moore even as Jazz Fest has now come to a close. The tireless drummer will be hitting the road with a new super group dubbed The M&Ms and they will be stopping in Denver for two shows at Cervantes’ this weekend!

The Denver sunshine, the Rocky Mountain backdrop, the beautiful music, the beer and the Mary Jane made 4/20 outside of Cervantes’ on Sunday a holiday for the books. We were treated to four sets of music from an impressive array of Colorado’s finest and most talented musicians as we all celebrated the freedom and love we Coloradans are so lucky to enjoy every single day.

While Cervantes’ Ballroom wasn’t packed Last Friday night, it was nice that there was room to dance, chat with friends between songs, and not have to swim through a sea of humanity just to make it to the bar. The 20 somethings had packed The Other Side for Twiddle so it was a bit of an older crowd who danced the night away to Americana courtesy of a retooled Great American Taxi and some New Orleans Funk from New Orleans Suspects.

Cervantes’ was packed with a healthy mix of hardcore Pink Floyd fans looking to get a little weird and the usual Denver suspects as former STS9 bass player David Murphy brought his Pigs On The Wing project back to Denver. With local favorites Tiger Party on board to kick things off, the near sold-out crowd was treated to a night of infectious dance grooves and psychedelic classics that did not disappoint.
