This year’s Rocky Mountain Folks Festival featured marquee names like John Butler Trio, Patty Griffin and John Prine but it was the lesser known acts like Seryn, Foy Vance, Nathaniel Rateliff and Charles Bradley that really wow’d the faithful crowd. Word on the street months before the festival was that the organizers and staff of Planet Bluegrass were more excited by the acts this year than they had been at any time in recent memory, and they just may have been right on!

When Deer Tick took the stage on Sunday night at The Bluebird, there were light bulbs that flashed the words “Deer” and “Tick” behind the band. Lead singer, and founder of the band, John McCauley was decked out in a fancy pink blazer and tie that was strangely appropriate for his band’s one-of-a-kind combination of blues, folk, country and in your face punk rock. McCauley’s gritty voice not only translated from record to stage almost seamlessly, but the emotional lyrics were brought to life in the live setting.

Troubadour Todd Snider recently made a pair of stops here on the Front Range and we were lucky enough to have members of the Listen Up Denver! team at both of the shows. While it does appear that the shows shared some similar moments, it’s very interesting to see the different perspective of our writers. Both loved their show, and picked out some of their favorite moments to share. Read on as Levi Macy and Crystal Edge share their memories of these two shows with you all.

Reed Foehl had a hell of a year in 2011. He got to perform with Arlo Guthrie at eTown and with Anais Mitchell on her unique folk project “Hadestown :: A Folk Opera,” and now Leann Womack is recording one of his songs. Each year seems to bring more and more for this man, and 2012 may be his biggest year yet!

There is something about the open plains, freight trains, and highway lanes of the lone star state that has inspired some musicians to develop their own brand of Country music that thrives in West Texas. Lyle Lovett is high up on the list of legends that represents this raw style that is so much more than what passes for Country music to the masses. His stories are backed by different musical sounds and styles and he proved on Wednesday that they sound equally amazing whether you are in a pickup truck or in an Opera House.
