Ray LaMontagne – August 7th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

Last Thursday was another scenic evening at Red Rocks, with dramatic clouds only giving way to a brief shower between acts. Fans came not knowing what version of folk star Ray LaMontagne they’d find – the acoustic guitar cradling singer-songwriter from Trouble or the ballsy rocker from this year’s Supernova. The set was a taste of both and the fan reaction was just as mixed.

Telluride Bluegrass Festival – June 19th-22nd – Telluride, CO

Estimated read time 14 min read

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.

Laura Marling & Phosphorescent – October 28th – eTown Hall

Estimated read time 5 min read

The intimate eTown Hall was filled with those abreast of the indie folk scene last Monday night for a daringly intimate performance from British singer-songwriter Laura Marling and indie rock act Phosphorescent. The two-hundred seat eTown Hall is one of the most intimate venues in Colorado, and regularly draws artists capable of selling out venues several times its size for the recording of the weekly eTown radio broadcast. Last Monday the crowd sat so remarkably silent that the delicate voices of both performers felt as if they were alone in the room.

Brandi Carlile – July 14th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 9 min read

Brandi Carlile’s progression as a musician over the last seven years, from Colorado’s most intimate venues to the world’s best outdoor venue has been meteoric. Her path has included four studio albums, endless touring (including a symphony tour), good ol’ fashion fan engagement, two live albums and an unrelenting, and unmistakable, drive to stay true to herself. If Carlile’s first headlining Red Rocks show is any indication of what’s next for her, there is little doubt that whatever it is, it will be special.
