Roosevelt Collier’s Colorado Get Down – February 19th – 1up Colfax
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.

String Cheese Incident – December 30th – 1stBank Center
Last Tuesday was one of the coldest nights of the year, but that didn’t deter the faithful from making their way up to the 1stBank Center for the second night of the String Cheese Incident 2014 New Year’s Run. Again, the 6,500 seat room was not close to sold-out but the energy was there and everyone was anticipating a great night of music and, from the monster “Best Feeling” opener through the blissful “Little Hands” closer, they go what they came for.

String Cheese Incident – December 29th – 1stBank Center
While it wasn’t packed by any means, the 1stBank Center was amped up for the first of three String Cheese Incident shows last Monday night despite the bitter cold, snowy darkness that had enveloped Denver shortly after Christmas. All the regulars were riding the rail, there were stilt walkers and hula-hoopers, costumes, and of course glitter…lots of glitter. To say the boys came out of the gate hot would be an understatement but, unfortunately, despite some great playing, the second set was a bit of a let-down.

YarmonyGrass – August 15th-17th – Rancho Del Rio
The one summarizing thought about this year’s YarmonyGrass: not enough! Just two days of hardly strictly bluegrass on the Colorado River was not enough. The weekend boasted blue skies, warm temperatures and so many friendly faces gathered at Rancho Del Rio for the best of what Colorado has to offer of Bluegrass and string music. Mountain air, clear skies and incredible once in a lifetime collaborations made YarmonyGrass 2014 one of the most beautiful and unforgettable summer festivals to date.

Sonic Bloom Relocates and Boasts Strongest Line-Up To Date
One of the fastest growing festivals in Colorado is Sonic Bloom, which will be holding its 9th annual summer solstice gathering in a brand new location. In the past few years Sonic Bloom has called Shadow’s Ranch in Georgetown home. While it’s still known as a “boutique” festival, due to an increase in attendance and the need for additional space for camping and stages, festival organizers have staked their claim on the American Safari Ranch in South Park for June 19th-22nd.

String Cheese Incident – April 28th – The Hill, Boulder, CO
Last Monday The String Cheese Incident celebrated the release of their new album, Song In My Head, with a free, two hour show on The Hill outside the Fox in Boulder. Despite a little chill in the air that forced the “Barefoot Boys” to leave their shoes on for the duration of the performance, the weather held out and SCI played a solid set of music as thousands of fans danced in the streets.

The Infamous Stringdusters – April 12th – Ogden Theatre
Saturday at the Ogden Theatre was expected to be a night of good ole’ Bluegrass. The Infamous Stringdusters have earned quite a following in Colorado, going head-to-head with Colorado locals such as Leftover Salmon. The ‘Dusters, hailing from Virginia, came to Denver last weekend with gusto, ready to impress the Rocky Mountain Bluegrass fans. The crowd was just large enough that there was plenty of room to dance comfortably.
