The girls of boygenius are no strangers to the stage. Although still in their twenties, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus have been writing music and playing shows since their teens. All three artists have performed in front of Colorado fans since 2016, gracing stages at the likes of Lost Lake Lounge, Globe Hall, Bluebird Theatre, The Ogden, Mission Ballroom, and Red Rocks. Then, in 2018 that they joined as a band; united by a love for each other’s music coupled with their disgust with how “women in music” were defined and pitted against each other.

It isn’t often that I got into a concert blind but when two friends – whose taste in music I respect a ton – told me they were going to see Big Thief last Friday night, I signed on for the ride and in the end I was thrilled I took the leap on a band I wasn’t familiar with.

2021 came to a pretty rotten close for the guys in Greensky Bluegrass as they were forced to cancel their New Year’s run in St. Louis due to (yep you guessed it) COVID-19. However, since the band and crew completed their quarantine and isolation a few days into the new year, the shows at The Mission Ballroom went on full steam ahead!

It’s no secret that it is a strange time in the world right now with the ongoing pandemic and the surge of the Omicron variant, but it’s an even stranger time in the world of live music. As 2021 wound down, New Year’s events were being cancelled left and right and music fans were left to wonder if one of the most important nights on the concert calendar would be left blank. Thanks to Neal Francis and Gold Leader for playing and delivering a blissful night of high energy, funk infused music!

Goose made their triumphant return to Denver with a two night stand at the Mission Ballroom this past Sunday and Monday. While these are tough nights for shows, the incredible momentum this band has propelled each night to a sell-out. While there are some who question Goose’s staying power as a premiere band on the scene, these two shows did a lot to shut those folks up.

For many fans in attendance, it had been about 18 months since they had purchased their tickets to this show so what better way to kick things off than by having the man himself, Mr. Billy Strings, open this mammoth four night run by taking the stage alone and delivering a mesmerizing take on “Guitar Peace” from his stellar Home album. This may have been the first night of a four night run, but it was by no means a warm-up. This band is firing on all cylinders right now.
