Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers – August 8th – Denver Botanic Gardens

Estimated read time 3 min read

The Botanic Gardens was beautiful on Monday night. Though storms swirled nearby, not a drop of rain fell on the gardens and the crowd was linen clad and ready for some great music. Though there was a smattering of younger faces in the bowl, the vast majority of the audience was over 40 and sat back, wine glass in hand, to enjoy some adult contemporary hits from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Boy, were they in for a surprise.

Joe Walsh & Bad Company – May 15 – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

It’s always exciting to go to your first Red Rocks show of the season and although the sky looked a bit threatening, it didn’t stop throngs of the dad-rock faithful from flocking to the legendary venue. While it was an older crowd, seeing as it was Joe Walsh and Bad Company, it was a party crowd. For the most part, the “One Hell of a Night” tour lived up to its name, even though at some points it seemed like the “One Half of a Night” tour.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Dawes – Mishawaka & The Gothic – Friday, May 24th & Sunday, May 26th

Estimated read time 3 min read

It’s been decades since the Southern California sun first breathed life into the Americana-laced rock of acts like The Byrds, The Eagles, Poco, and Jackson Brown in the late ’60s and ’70s. While there has been resurgence of that sound in recent years, one L.A. band has emerged head and shoulders above the rest to carry on the legacy that McGuinn, Henley, Frey, Brown and others helped to define. That band is Dawes.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band – April 2nd – Pepsi Center

Estimated read time 1 min read

Bob Seger stopped into Denver on Tuesday night with veteran rocker, and longtime Eagle, Joe Walsh in tow. We were only approved for a photo pass, so here are some images from what was surely a great night of classic rock from one of the masters of the genre. Apparently he treated the crowd to many of the radio staples in his catalog including “Mainstreet,” “Old Time Rock & Roll,” “Like A Rock,” and “We’ve Got Tonight” but it was a cover of Wilco’s “California Stars” that really surprised us to read about.

The Jayhawks – January 27th – The Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

When The Jayhawks and Justin Townes Earle took over The Ogden on Friday, the night had a stark contrast to it. It started off with a man who is on his way up, and ended with a band that is somewhere in limbo. Earle displayed passion, soul, and meaning with his performance, while The Jayhawks seemed like it was all just a job. The audience seemed to be completely blown away by The Jayhawks set, but we think they were just drunk on nostalgia.

Dawes Proves Everything Is Good With The Release Of “Nothing Is Wrong”

Estimated read time 2 min read

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind year for Los Angeles rock band Dawes. They have released their stellar sophomore album Nothing Is Wrong, toured with Allison Krauss, and performed as the backing band for legends Robbie Robertson and Jackson Browne. In a recent interview, nonchalant frontman Taylor Goldsmith made it sound like it is all in a day’s work for him and his three bandmates.

Keb’ Mo’ – August 7th – Denver Botanic Gardens

Estimated read time 7 min read

On a hot Sunday in Denver, Keb’ Mo’ cooled things off a bit at the Botanic Gardens with his adult-contemporary take on the blues for those of us who were lucky enough to have tickets to the sold-out show. While he didn’t focus on his roots as much as he could have, he proved he still has what takes to succeed with several outstanding new tracks that stood out as highlights of the set.
