Estimated read time 5 min read

What The Night Brings celebrated the life and legacy of the one and only Jeff Austin and was a show that many in the Bluegrass world had been looking forward to for quite some time. While the reason it was happening was tragic, the line-up was formidable. In the words of musical director Nick Forster, it was like all of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival coming together on one night.

Greensky Bluegrass – September 15th – Red Rocks

Estimated read time 8 min read

“Never miss a Sunday show.” It’s the age old Jamband adage that has been circulating through the scene for years and, while I’ve seen many Sunday shows over the years, until the past Sunday night when Greensky Bluegrass and Billy Strings played Red Rocks, I had never seen one that really proved the saying.

Galactic & The Greyboy Allstars – March 17th – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

Last Saturday night, the Fillmore Auditorium was as full as I’d seen it in years as droves of tireless revelers showed up to support two bands who have both previously played sold-out headlining shows in Denver. It was St. Patrick’s Day, and although most of this crowd had been drinking all day under the bright Colorado sky, they definitely weren’t slowing down.

The Wheels of Soul rolled into Red Rocks last weekend and featured two nights of Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers, and Hot Tuna. Despite some rain early on Sunday, the fans got a healthy helping of Roots, Soul, Rock and Blues that featured more collaborations and covers than anyone could have anticipated. It was a memorable night on The Rocks and one that will likely go down in the lore of the storied venue.

Phish – January 15th, 16th, & 17th – Riviera Maya, Mexico

Estimated read time 6 min read

Three shows over the course of three nights is not an uncommon thing for Phish – but to do it in a tropical paradise, right on the beach, in a customized venue . . . well that’s special! It’s been a long time since phans had an international destination to travel to for a run of shows (June 2000 in Japan to be exact), and Trey, Mike, Page and Fish made it well worth everyone’s time over the course of these three magical nights in Mexico.

Lotus – October 31st – Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

Lotus and Late Night Radio brought a fiercely funky mood to the Fillmore Auditorium for the sold-out “Dead Man’s Party” on Halloween. The line to enter the venue meandered around the block and it took more than a few anxious minutes for the masses get inside. The desperation was highly evident as hoards of zombies showed up seeking entrance to the labyrinth without tickets. Once inside the packed barn the atmosphere was vibrant. Donning an animal mask and dancing in neon lights can only be this special on Halloween night.

Grace Potter – September 19th – Red Rocks

Estimated read time 3 min read

At several points in her career Grace Potter has been touted as the next Stevie Nicks, a female powerhouse with an incomparable voice. Unfortunately, she recently parted ways with that band that she emerged onto the scene with, The Nocturnals, and, as her debut solo effort ‘Midnight’ showed, that has done her no justice. Despite this dark cloud looming large over her, Potter took the Red Rocks crowd on a powerful journey through her history and proved her immense musical talents will never go to waste.
