It’s always a party when The Congress plays and last Friday night was no different. With old friends high-fiving and hugging out under the marquee and inside the great little theater on Colfax, there was a feeling of family hanging in the air. When the boys in The Congress lived in Denver they were frequently found at The Bluebird, both as fans and performers. Now they have graduated to the national touring scene and came back to their old stomping grounds to strut their stuff!

The Congress is a Virginia-based four-piece, equal parts rock & roll, old-school soul, and outlaw country. Founded by Scott Lane and Jonathan Meadows, the band falls under the influence of the diverse music of their hometown of Richmond, where the spirit of soul music prevails with infusions of jazz, punk rock, and Appalachia. The Congress return to Colorado supported by Megan Burtt and Patrick Dethlefs making this a night of must see music!

Last Thursday provided an unique opportunity to see local artists collaborate with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra during a performance titled “Turn Over The Keys.” It was a change in both scenery and sonic shape for fans of the four talented artists who played along with 26 equally talented string players. Collaborators were a handful of well known local artists – Ian Cooke, Land Lines, Jay Clifford, and Megan Burtt.

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.

Listen Up Denver’s Brian Turk sat down for a conversation with Megan Burtt shortly after she stepped off the stage at Dazzle last week. She had just performed an emotional piano concert that consisted almost entirely of songs inspired by the personal sketchbook entries of painter Laurie Maves and we are grateful to her for opening up and taking the time to talk.

There was a convergence of the arts last Wednesday night at the swanky Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge. Songstress Megan Burtt and painter Laurie Maves collaborated in an amazing display of emotion, passion and artistry. What started as a random idea to collaborate on a few songs turned into an intimate evening in one of the best jazz venues in the country. Stay tuned later this week for an in depth interview with Burtt that followed the show.
