What a night at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The weather was picture perfect and the late afternoon sun was shining on the Chihuly glass exhibit that inhabits the gardens through November. Fans of Taj Mahal and John Hiatt sipped wine as they strolled the paths, chatted with friends and took in the stunning glass that is expertly woven into the natural surroundings before being dazzled by the music that came from the stage under Chihuly’s bright orange sun.

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.

While Cervantes’ Ballroom wasn’t packed Last Friday night, it was nice that there was room to dance, chat with friends between songs, and not have to swim through a sea of humanity just to make it to the bar. The 20 somethings had packed The Other Side for Twiddle so it was a bit of an older crowd who danced the night away to Americana courtesy of a retooled Great American Taxi and some New Orleans Funk from New Orleans Suspects.

When Everyone Orchestra makes a stop along the Front Range you can always count on a rousing good time and last Saturday’s Flood Benefit at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom showcased excellent musical theater and a community banding together in the wake of the devastating September floods. Everyone Orchestra is the brainchild of composer and vocalist Matt Butler, who brings together a different crop of musicians to jam and create songs for every run of shows.

Any time the line to enter The Ogden stretches down Colfax and around the corner onto Odgen Street you know you have a crowd eager to see one of their favorite bands. This was certainly the case last Wednesday night as a dedicated and seasoned crowd showed up early on a beautiful fall evening. As the veteran crowd filed into the theater, the vibe at first was very mellow but anticipation quickly grew and became electric as we waited to see one of America’s greatest Rock and Roll bands.

For the third year in a row, Phish closed out their summer tour with a three night stand at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Expectation levels were high after the previous two runs churned out arguably six of the best shows by the band since their return in the spring of 2009. Anticipation was heightened on Friday after the “S” and “Fuck Your Face” shows to kick off the 2011 and 2012 Dick’s runs showcased the band’s affinity for novelty and their ability to deliver top-notch performances with tongues placed firmly in cheek. Phish did not disappoint.

Seven hours Southwest of Denver, nestled in a box canyon surrounded by steep cliffs and Aspen trees, lies an old mining town that has been the setting for many a magical musical memory. As its name implies, the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival was started 19 years ago to celebrate craft beer and a specific genre of music; but over the years the festival line-up has became more diverse, and this year’s festivities raised the bar and established Telluride Blues and Brews as a festival that ANY music lover would want to attend.

The Bluebird was an interesting mix of aging hippies, buttoned up 50 somethings out for a rare show, and Jamband kids checking one off the “Legends List” last Thursday night. Little Feat is one of the true legendary jambands of all time and they proved it yet again as they delivered a high energy two hour set that wove in and out of classic originals, fresh new tunes, and even a choice cover. They may not be playing the big sheds anymore, but they are clearly loving what they do and they are still doing it damn well.

Little Feat is a band that has been in the trenches of Rock and Roll since the revolution began. In 1969, Frank Zappa suggested Lowel George leave The Mothers of Invention and form his own band, and that same year George formed Little Feat with the goal of combining Blues, Funk, Country, Folk, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.
