Tedeschi Trucks Band – July 25th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Last Friday night Red Rocks was the nexus of the universe for Blues lovers. With both Gary Clark Jr. and the Tedeschi Trucks Band on the bill, the hallowed Morrison venue rang with slide and echoed with deep bluesy riffs late into the night. Early on it wasn’t the Blues, but rather the sweet vintage alt-country stylings of Nicki Bluhm and the Grambers that kicked things off as showers moved in and out of the area.
B.B. King – August 20th – Red Rocks Amphitheater
Last week Peter Frampton’s Guitar Circus rolled into Red Rocks and it brought with it an eager crowd of Baby Boomers who were on the edges of their seats in anticipation of some serious guitar heroics. While there were some fireworks from opener Sonny Landreth and headliner Peter Frampton, the man many had come to see was a bit of a let down and the crowd was painfully aware of it. No it wasn’t that he couldn’t play those signature licks, it’s just that he chose not to.
Tedeschi Trucks Band & Grace Potter and The Nocturnals – June 15th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
If there is any venue that can evoke awareness of a higher power, Red Rocks is the place. Weather swirling around the naturally spectacular venue caused a slight delay to the start of the evening last Saturday as thunder, rain and lightning threatened from the sky. People pulled out their rain gear, but seemed generally unaffected as they awaited the start of a fantastic triple threat of music from JJ Grey, Grace Potter and Tedeschi Trucks Band.
PICK OF THE WEEK: Tedeschi Trucks, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, JJ Grey & Mofro – Red Rocks – Saturday, June 15th
Tedeschi Trucks Band, the Grammy winning 11-member blues-rock group led by husband-wife team Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, have proven to be one of the hottest, most uplifting acts on the road today. This year the Tedeschi Trucks Band is teaming up with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and JJ Grey and Mofro to deliver another star-packed show to Colorado. This Saturday at Red Rocks is not a night to be missed!
Scott Sharrard & The Brickyard Band
Scott Sharrard is one of an increasingly rare breed of musician in today’s popular music climate. Sharrard’s music follows in the tradition of classic Rhythm and Blues, but his sound and songs are such that it still sounds fresh and vital, like its happening now. While the music is a bit more guitar-oriented, fans of the more recent wave of Rhythm and Blues groups and artists like Raphael Saadiq, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Tedeschi Trucks Band would definitely find a lot to enjoy here.
