Last Monday at the Botanic Gardens, the wine flowed, cured meats and cheeses were consumed by the plateful, and though the threat of rain hung in the air (and even fell out of it from time to time), it didn’t dampen the spirits of the Gardens faithful who had come out in droves to catch the one and only Reverend Al Green and Denver’s own soul sister, Hazel Miller deliver Soul classics in the way that only they can.

The Larimer Lounge was the hot spot in town on Friday night because JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound were in town. These guys hail from Chicago and have created unique blend of Soul, R&B, and Post-Punk that is 100% pure adrenaline fueled dance music. If the puddles of sweat, flying hair, and looks of pure ecstatic joy on the faces of everyone in the room are any indicator, their sound strikes a chord with the soul and almost demands you move.

Steve Kimock returned to Denver with some friends this past weekend for a two night stand at Quixotes. Kimock’s friends included the legendary Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads) on keys, Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule) on bass, and Wally Ingram (Stockholm Syndrome) on the skins. This lineup looked powerful, and oh did they deliver despite a very chatty audience.

The Motet really outdid themselves this year. Sure, all of their previous Halloween shows have been great fun, but this time they did so much more than just cover another artists material. They completely reinvented the music of one of the true legendary catalogs in rock music in a way that Phil, Bobby, Mickey, Billy and Jerry would be proud of. From the opening notes of Feel Like A Stranger to the closer Loose Lucy, The Motet Funkified The Dead in grand fashion!
