PICK OF THE WEEK: Joe Pug – Bluebird Theater – Friday, April 3rd
Joe Pug has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his young career but on his new record it’s easier to hear the sway of more contemporary influences like Josh Ritter, Ryan Adams and M.Ward.

Jason Isbell & Hard Working Americans – July 23rd – Ogden Theatre
The Ogden Theatre is one of Denver’s best mid-size concert venues, and it was the perfect setting for this highly anticipated Rock n’ Roll double feature of The Hard Working Americans and Jason Isbell. It is intimate enough to get close to the bands, but big enough to feel like more of an “event” than your average rock club. The evening was packed with rowdy Rock n’ Roll, dramatic balladry, and a fair amount of psychedelic exploration thrown in for good measure.

Telluride Bluegrass. Once you’ve been there, whether it’s for a day, a week, or forty consecutive years, it becomes part of you. It’s the smiles on the faces of the performers as they look out from the stage over the most beautiful landscape their songs and melodies have ever echoed across. It is the meticulous, almost anal-retentive, organization of the event that somehow translates to a vibe conducive to dancing and singing and a passionately laid-back attitude from some of the most fervent music lovers anywhere.
