The intimate eTown Hall was filled with those abreast of the indie folk scene last Monday night for a daringly intimate performance from British singer-songwriter Laura Marling and indie rock act Phosphorescent.

Gregory Alan Isakov is another one of the amazing things we have as Colorado residents and the buzz on the grounds of the historic Chautauqua Auditorium was a testament to his talents. The old dark barn of an auditorium was packed with rolled blue jeans, flannels, and the last summer dresses of the season and it seemed like everyone came with a group of friends, or ran into people they knew, as folks gave out hugs and warm greetings throughout the evening.
