What began as a modest line forming alongside The Ogden an hour before showtime eventually resulted in a packed, sold-out crowd filled with very friendly folks. Thursday’s audience was reflective of the evening’s music and performances. There were no gimmicks, subdued fashion taste dominated and calm, fun-loving attitudes were the norm. This combination resulted in a very relaxing environment full of well-adjusted, mature, down-to-earth music enthusiasts who weren’t trying to cause any trouble.

Gramatik is headlining his first show at The Fillmore this Saturday night. With opening acts Talib Kweli and Mux Mool, it’s sure to be a night that lives up to Gramatik’s personal ability to move from one musical genre to the next. His new light design, inspired by infamous physicist Nikola Tesla is sure to be a highlight of this blowout. He was kind enough to take a few minutes away from his busy schedule to talk to Listen Up Denver! about the tour, his musical influences, and about his philosophy of giving away all of his music for free to fans.

Umphrey’s McGee and Railroad Earth teamed up this past weekend for a monster co-headlining show at Red Rocks. Stretching from 7pm till 1am, the two bands combined for around five hours of music that ranged from Bluegrass pick-a-thons to Prog-Metal guitar heroics. It was a diverse line-up to be sure, but the crowd came early and stayed late.

On August 28th, the day before the 53rd anniversary of Michael Jackson’s birth, Easy Star All-Stars released their new tribute album, Easy Star’s ‘Thrillah.’ Delivering Reggae and Dub renditions of what some would say is the quintessential Michael Jackson album, this project is a triumph. Listen Up Denver! recently caught up with Michael G of the Easy Star All-Star’s and talked to him about the new album and the tour that is coming to town this weekend.

Michael Kiwanuka may not be a name you are familiar with, or you may have just heard your friends rave about his show at The Bluebird last week, but once his music hits your ears, you won’t forget the name of this British musician with African roots. When Kiwanuka strummed the final note of a song, the audience gave a polite pause to make sure he was done, and then whistled, cheered and clapped at a volume we didn’t expect for a Tuesday night show.

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.

There is one single word to describe the Radiohead show that took place on Tuesday night at the 1stBank Center, and that word is “Wow!” Since they played Red Rocks almost 10 years ago, we have been eagerly awaiting their return as they are capable of putting on one of the best live shows on the planet. To say we went into the show on Tuesday with high expectations is an understatement. We went into the show EXPECTING to have our minds blown, and you know what . . . Radiohead delivered!

Punch Brothers – March 12th – The Bluebird Theatre

Punch Brothers have a special place in the hearts of Colorado bluegrass lovers, and their Monday night performance at The Bluebird Theatre felt as if it were in front of a home-town crowd. Telluride Bluegrass is probably one of the most important catalysts in connecting Colorado with this progressive five-piece, and the festival was also an integral part in the formation of the band itself. In that sense, I guess you could say that Colorado helped give birth to Punch Brothers, and we should be able to claim them as our own in some way.
