Daniele AteThe Sandwich Talks Songwriting & Sarah McLachlan

Estimated read time 8 min read

Daniele Ate the Sandwich began charming the socks off The Front Range over four years ago, and her new album shows us a more mature, yet just as adorable side of the Ukulele-wielding Folk singer. Like A King is Danielle Anderson’s fourth full length album, and the well-produced and detailed sound reflects how far this young artist with an old soul has come. Listen Up Denver! had the chance to catch up with Colorado native Anderson, and she shared some introspective thoughts with us.

Anders Osborne – May 18th – The Bluebird

Estimated read time 3 min read

Anders Osborne roared into The Bluebird on Friday night and delivered a performance that more than lived up to the hype. His commanding stage presence and exemplary musicianship is at a level that only comes from decades of road wear and tear. This was not Anders Osborne’s first barn-burning performance by any stretch, and when it was all over, he still had a pocket full of matches. Take our word for it and do not miss this man the next time he comes to town!

Joe Pug & The Lumineers – May 12th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

When all was said and done, The Lumineers, Joe Pug, and Bailiff turned in a fantastic night of music at The Bluebird last Saturday. From early in the night, The Bluebird was packed with a wide variety of music fans. There were grey hairs who looked a little overwhelmed at the size, and density, of the crowd, hipsters doing their best to look as cool as possible, industry folks, a few hippies blowing smoke at the ceiling, and a healthy number of late 20 and 30 something couples out for a musical date night. It’s safe to say that everyone went home happy.

Deer Tick – May 13th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

When Deer Tick took the stage on Sunday night at The Bluebird, there were light bulbs that flashed the words “Deer” and “Tick” behind the band. Lead singer, and founder of the band, John McCauley was decked out in a fancy pink blazer and tie that was strangely appropriate for his band’s one-of-a-kind combination of blues, folk, country and in your face punk rock. McCauley’s gritty voice not only translated from record to stage almost seamlessly, but the emotional lyrics were brought to life in the live setting.

Rodina – May 10th – The Bluebird

Estimated read time 6 min read

All we can say is…we just wish more people were there to see it. In its current formation, Rodina is a new endeavor, and considering the name has virtually no recognition yet, a fair amount of people showed up to check out this who’s who of local and international talent. It was a Thursday night, and the Nuggets were playing a crucial playoff game against the Lakers, but the almost 200 people who ventured out and took a risk on something new, were the ones who saw a truly championship performance.

Split Lip Rayfield Talks Wakarusa And The Split Livers

Estimated read time 7 min read

Split Lip Rayfield is often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal. No other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass, mandolin, and banjo. Together, these three men burn up speakers and stages alike as they tour and play music for the fan faithful. Mando player Wayne Gottstine recently took some time to share with us at Listen Up Denver! about the documentary Never Make it Home, The Split Livers, Wakarusa, and why we should come out and see them this weekend.

A truly powerful power-trio; The Congress put the pedal to the floor from the first note, and they kept it full throttle all night long.
