PICK OF THE WEEK: The Word – Ogden Theatre – Saturday, Oct. 10th

Estimated read time 2 min read

The genesis of THE WORD began in the year 1998, when the Avant-Jazz and Funk group Medeski, Martin & Wood took the burgeoning North Mississippi Allstars on their first tour. Fourteen years may have passed between albums, but that’s no suggestion of broken bonds. Nor of broken strings. A love of music, of extended improvisational collaboration, of closing the eyes and channeling the feel—these are the ties that bind THE WORD.

It wasn’t too long ago that the seedy remnants of a smut shack were re-imagined into an entertainment complex with music, arcade games, and some of the better super-jams in the Denver area. Last Thursday set a new bar for the venue when they sold-out the most recent edition of Roosevelt Collier’s “Colorado Get Down.” This time around Collier welcomed Dave Watts, Garrett Sayers, Joey Porter and Billy Nershi to the stage along with several surprise guests who added some color to an already stellar line-up of talent.

Estimated read time 13 min read

Driving into Winter Park on Friday afternoon was a 3mph parade of late teens and twenty-somethings already in neon accessories and ski gear, piled six deep in SUV’s on the way to one of the more unique electronic music events in the country, Snowball Music Festival. The police, who vowed to be less aggressive than last year, pulled over cars left and right as we made our way through downtown Winter Park to the condo. It was 4pm and the anticipation had everybody in full party mode before sunset.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Fox Street Allstars (Album Release) – The Larimer Lounge – March 2nd

Estimated read time 2 min read

Make no mistake, the Fox Street Allstars reek of the roadhouses and West Texas honky-tonks of the Deep South that inspired their signature sound. The band brings an all-out-party to every show by pouring their hearts and souls into every note. No one really has any idea where front man Jonathan “Skippy” Huvard channels his soulful, whiskey soaked vocals and frenetic stage presence but the result is a blistering powerhouse of sound.
