Orebolo, the acoustic offshoot of the wildly popular jamband Goose, set up shop at the Boulder Theater last Wednesday and left the capacity crowd in awe. Featuring Rick Mitarotonda and Peter Anspach on guitars and Jeff Arevalo on stand-up bass, the trio presented stripped down versions of Goose songs with a focus on intricate guitar interplay between the two stellar players. The crowd was full of rabid fans, with the line forming hours before the doors opened.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats – December 15th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

The line wound well down Colfax long before doors opened on Friday and while it was unseasonably warm, guys were warming up their ladies, and winter finery abounded as fans waited patiently for the doors of The Ogden to open. From 20-something hipsters, to gray bearded veterans of the scene, it was clear that Nathaniel Rateliff’s popularity in Denver doesn’t follow any strict demographic lines and that he delights listeners from all walks of life. What a treat it was to see this powerful band on their home court in the heart of Denver where they have played so many times before.

The Wheels of Soul rolled into Red Rocks last weekend and featured two nights of Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers, and Hot Tuna.

It was a memorable night on The Rocks and one that will likely go down in the lore of the storied venue.

Trey Anastasio Band – May 31st – Red Rocks

Estimated read time 2 min read

Trey Anastasio, legendary guitarist for Phish, stopped into Red Rocks for the first time since 2009 (and first time with TAB since 2005) and there’s no doubt he was happy to be back. Anastasio’s grin was a near permanent fixture from the first time he appeared on stage to sit in with Vulfpeck for a take on “Rango” early in the night, till the final notes of “Dazed and Confused” reverberated off the rocks and disappeared into the night air.

The String Cheese Incident – March 4th – Fox Theatre

Estimated read time 1 min read

The String Cheese Incident wrapped up a two night stand in the intimate confines of The Fox Theatre in Boulder on Saturday night with a show that delivered some old chestnuts in the form of “Walls of the Cave,” “Blackberry Blossom,” and a very fitting “Bigger Isn’t Better” alongside some of the band’s new materials like “Can’t Wait Another Day,” “Believe,” “Let’s Go Outside,” and the debut of the Hollingsworth penned “One and Only.” While the energy in the room was strong, when all was said and done, the show left this Cheesehead was longing for the days when the band headlined this room on their way up.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Railroad Earth – The Ogden – Fri, Sat, Sun, January 20th, 21st, 22nd

Estimated read time 2 min read

Like The Band before them, the members of Railroad Earth aren’t losing sleep about what “kind” of music they play – they just play it. When they started out in 2001, they were a bunch of guys interested in playing acoustic instruments together. Railroad Earth’s music is driven by the remarkable songs of front-man, Todd Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship.

It’s always one of the highlights of the summer for many and, despite the rain on Friday, this year was no different.
