Estimated read time 5 min read

The Motet’s annual “musical costume” shows on Halloween have become something of an institution here on the Front Range with folks buying tickets early in the summer to make sure they don’t miss out on the madness. This year’s run kicked off on the 25th, stopped in Denver for two nights at The Ogden before heading up to Vail and finally wrapping up last night in Boulder. When all was said and done it was a fun and funky show and while it didn’t top “Funk Is Dead,” everyone in the room had smiles on their faces to the bitter end.

They completely reinvented the music of one of the true legendary catalogs in rock music in a way that Phil, Bobby, Mickey, Billy and Jerry would be proud of. From the opening notes of Feel Like A Stranger to the closer Loose Lucy, The Motet Funkified The Dead in grand fashion!
