Umphrey’s McGee – December 29th – Fillmore Auditorium
Despite the frigid temperatures outside, last Sunday night never had a chance to cool down as Umphrey’s McGee gave Denver one of the most memorable nights of 2013, just in time. With two terrifically special and totally shocking guest appearances, the band had a stage presence conceivable only to those lucky enough to witness it. The music started early to an enthusiastic crowd in the midst of their New Year’s Run. Anticipation was high, the sound was immaculate and the light show was wild.

The Greyboy Allstars – April 12th & 13th – Cervantes’ Ballroom
Last weekend The Greyboy Allstars came straight out of the 70’s on a groove of Funk, Soul, and Jazz. The band was in town supporting their new album, ‘Inland Emperor,’ which dropped this week, and the crowd filled in fast and early at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on both Friday and Saturday nights. Supported by Dumpstaphunk on Friday night and Denver’s own The Congress on Saturday, it was a weekend of unforgettable music, and luckily all three bands have new albums out to keep the party going.
