Umphrey’s McGee – March 9th – The Fillmore

Estimated read time 6 min read

Umphrey’s McGee show at The Fillmore proved that these guys are without a doubt one of the tightest and most cohesive Jam bands playing today. They seem to think with one brain as they deftly transition from an intricate prog jam, to a deep funk pocket, and out into an intense metal climax. While that’s amazing on it’s own, Jeff Waful makes it a true thing of beauty as he uses the air around the stage as a canvas to create one of the most beautiful lighting displays around. Paired with Waful, Umphrey’s McGee really is the whole package

Widespread Panic – February 10th – The Fillmore

Estimated read time 6 min read

Last friday night was the night that many Colorado Widespread Panic fans had been waiting four months for. The band announced an “indefinite hiatus” back in September and then surprised a lot of folks by announcing an acoustic mini-tour billed as “The Wood Tour.” With six shows right here in Colorado (3 in Denver and 3 in Aspen), our state was blessed with an inordinately large share of the dates which shows yet again how much the Panic boys love the Rocky Mountains.

Lotus – February 4th – The Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

Over the last decade, Lotus has revolutionized the Livetronica sound while defying stereotypes and energizing venues large and small with their incredible live performances. This past Saturday was no different as a sellout Fillmore crowd braved a massive snowfall and frigid temperatures to see a second set that will go down in the record books as one of the most wild and joyous experiences Denver has witnessed in a long time. Here’s hoping a headlining spot at Red Rocks is in store for this summer. They certainly deserve it.

The Descendents – January 28th – The Fillmore

Estimated read time 4 min read

When they rocked The Fillmore last weekend, The Descendents played one long set of short songs and then graced everyone with not one but two short encores. It was a greatest hits set of sorts that featured just about every song you’d skip to immediately on all of their albums. It may have been a bit nostalgic at times but that only seemed to feed the primal urge to plow through the crowd and push a few friends around while singing along to adolescent anthems like “I Don’t Want To Grow Up.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band – November 18th – The Fillmore

Estimated read time 6 min read

The Tedeschi Trucks Band is truly a force to be reckoned with. They pair virtuoso musicians with brilliant vocals to create some of the most passionate and soulful music being played today. It’s almost as if they have harnessed the combined energy of Stax, Motown, and Muscle Shoals and are channeling it all through one eleven member band. Get on board, or get out of the way, ’cause this train is bound for glory!

It was a Halloween party for the ages, literally!
