On Saturday night the audience got more than their fair share of rain while waiting for Brandi Carlile’s return to Red Rocks. The previously forecasted “monsoon” rains put on quite a show that led to flash flooding, washed out roads and some serious lightening. During the set change, as if right on cue, the clouds faded to the east and the moon peeked over the back of the venue. Carlile, the brother’s Hanseroth and the rest of band took the stage to a roaring and energized crowd.

Wednesday night at the legendary Red Rocks seemed even more legendary than most. A hint of mystical awesomeness sailed through the air; tacit comradery among the seasoned tailgaters was evident. There’s a reason this crowd was brought together on this beautiful mid-July eve: the renowned Robert Plant. And, of course, who could forget his wacky eclectic band, the Sensational Space Shifters?

While the Boulder Theater was not packed for the Drive-By Truckers two-night run any newcomer could see that the band has a very dedicated fan base as most folks sang along with every word the Country Rockers cranked out. While Patterson Hood remained a center of attention with soaring guitar solos and his roaring voice and Mike Cooley countrified things a bit with some steady finger-picking and vocals reminiscent of Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard, the newest member, bassist Matt Patton, seemed to be having the most fun.

The Grizzly Rose was packed last Friday night with cowboys and a handful of city slickers as Charlie Daniels Band lit the place up with blood pumping songs and lightning fast fiddle playing. From newer tunes like “Redneck Fiddlin’ Man” to a great cover of the Johnny Cash classic “Folsom Prison Blues” to his own entry into the Great American Songbook “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” Daniels and his band showed they haven’t slowed much over 50 years of playing music.

Last week at The Paramount, Chris Isaak proved that he is the epitome of an entertainer…and damn-well knows it. His show was part tight musicianship, part stand-up comedy and part pure love of performing. His charisma and charm oozed from the stage and he seems to be settling into his prime. From Holiday standards to 50’s rock classics to his own diverse catalog of original tunes, Isaak played a little bit of everything and the crowd ate up every minute of the two hour performance.

Every time The White Buffalo, steps on stage, straps on his guitar and explodes into one of his lyrically perfect alt-country songs—Johnny Cash sits up in his grave. It’s that simple. The man has soul, and he found himself playing in front of a sold-out crowd at Oskar Blues Grill and Brew in Lyons on Saturday as the headliner of the popular Colorado brewery’s celebration of ten years of canning badass beers. We raised our glasses and crammed ourselves close to the stage as we devoured every word that streamed through the microphone.

The mid-western transplants came out in droves Friday night to see Trampled by Turtles (TBT) at The Ogden. The Duluth based folk-bluegrass band is touring on their new album, “Stars and Satellites” and the sold-out crowd sported their Minnesota Twins hats, overalls, and plaid – lots and lots of plaid. The beer lines were long, and the crowd had a nice buzz before the opener even hit the stage. The atmosphere had a collective excitement about it you only find at Friday night shows and the band delivered raging and precisely played show.

The White Buffalo has been playing for a while, so he is not new on the scene, but he is new to overpowering it. When The White Buffalo is in the room, he casts a shadow upon those around him. It is not his physical stature, which is formidable, but the raw emotion he pours out in his songs and playing. Simply put it’s his presence that is the most commanding. Opening with “Carnage,” he foreshadowed the night ahead, as he trampled the audience, stole our souls, and left our bodies just lying there.
