With Andy Palmer’s Grub Street Writer coming up first, followed by up-and-comer Strange Americans, the room is gonna be rockin’ by the time Fort Collins’ Mosey West takes the stage.

These United States & The Knew – September 13th – The Hi-Dive

Estimated read time 4 min read

Sporting impressive beards, day-old flannel and t-shirts, and friendly smiles, The Knew and These United States set up shop last Thursday night to play music in front of a faithful crowd at The Hi-Dive. The audience of mostly twenty-something Denverites seemed anxious to hear some good music and weren’t necessarily interested in a cold beer or a flirty conversation. In the late hours of the night, when the lights came up, the bands looked and felt more like old friends of ours than performers.

Maria Taylor – October 28th – The Hi-Dive

Estimated read time 3 min read

A modest crowd of couples caught Maria Taylor at The Hi-Dive last week and while her new record “Overlook” has a few songs that will slither their way into your head, Taylor’s performance needed a bit more punch. There were times when she could have taken it up a notch, but just kind of stayed in second gear. With the Hi-Dive’s bar was wiped down and the room nearly empty by midnight it was not exactly a rowdy evening on South Broadway.

The Felice Brothers – October 17th – The Hi-Dive

Estimated read time 6 min read

The Felice Brothers didn’t chat with the crowd last Monday at The Hi-Dive; there was a lot of agitation and rawness coming from the stage, as if their Americana punk was being played in a boxing ring. These guys are proud, authentic, tough, brilliant, raw, emotional, and real Catskill thugs. Their energy was infectious and intimidating. They played as if they preferred no one to be there, and we danced like we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
