Josh Ritter Talks Music, Running, and Aphex Twin

Estimated read time 9 min read

The exceptionally talented folk singer/songwriter Josh Ritter will be making two Colorado stops next week – a stop at historic Chautauqua Auditorium next Monday night and the recently saved Mishawaka on Wednesday. Ritter’s shows are always special due to his ability to convey timeless poetic narratives with warm genuine vocals and a smile. We had the pleasure to speak with Josh recently about a handful of topics and were left more excited for the show and a new album.

Bruce Hornsby – June 21st – The Boulder Theater

Estimated read time 4 min read

All throughout the night, the energy swelled as Bruce Hornsby and The Noisemakers filled the air with lively and passionate music. Each member of the six-piece ensemble was given ample time to display their talents despite sharing the stage with such a gifted and accomplished artist. Even though each individual solo was well played and well received, nothing was more impressive than the sum total of all the parts on stage. The generosity and humility displayed by Bruce is part of what makes him so much fun to see.

Weir, Robinson, Greene Trio – June 4th – Chautauqua Auditorium

Estimated read time 5 min read

Despite the hordes of people who filled the beautiful park that surrounds the old barn under the Flatirons in Boulder, Monday night at Chautauqua proved to be the listening session stop of the group’s three night Colorado run. The 19th century room was the perfect setting for this trio to strut their stuff and each of them commented on it at least once from the stage. When it was all over they had truly rocked our souls. The power of music is undeniable and Bobby, Chris and Jackie delivered a show won’t soon be forgotten.

There’s nothing like a sunny, Sunday evening in the Poudre Canyon to play host to a fantastic acoustic performance by three of the best in the business and Bob Weir, Jackie Greene and Chris Robinson fit the bill perfectly on Sunday as their short acoustic tour rolled into the cozy confines of Mishawaka Amphitheatre. Although the energy stayed consistently mellow throughout the whole show, this was still an incredible performance and a fantastic way to end the weekend.

Split Lip Rayfield Talks Wakarusa And The Split Livers

Estimated read time 7 min read

Split Lip Rayfield is often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal. No other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass, mandolin, and banjo. Together, these three men burn up speakers and stages alike as they tour and play music for the fan faithful. Mando player Wayne Gottstine recently took some time to share with us at Listen Up Denver! about the documentary Never Make it Home, The Split Livers, Wakarusa, and why we should come out and see them this weekend.
