Saturday night was alive with the sound of Funk thanks to The London Souls and neo-jazz+funk band Lettuce. The intimacy of Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom was home to an invigorating late-night dance party that left everyone feeling especially groovy! With an undeniably electrifying jazz-funk that reeks of classic artists such as Tower of Power, James Brown and Kool & the Gang, Lettuce awed and exhausted us. This band is truly timeless and keeping the funk alive!

Eva Hollbrook of SHEL Talks Family, Folk, and Zeppelin

Estimated read time 13 min read

Just outside of Fort Collins, four sisters fill a family home with sounds only siblings could make. Combining Classical structure with Folk lyrics, Country catchiness, Bluegrass beauty and an intense passion, SHEL (Sarah, Hannah, Eva, Liza) is band full of depth and delight. Only one album deep into what is sure to be a lengthy career, SHEL has already found success without necessarily looking for it. Their music is as natural as the setting they create it in, and forming the band seemed more their fate than a decision.

Estimated read time 11 min read

Little Feat is a band that has been in the trenches of Rock and Roll since the revolution began. In 1969, Frank Zappa suggested Lowel George leave The Mothers of Invention and form his own band, and that same year George formed Little Feat with the goal of combining Blues, Funk, Country, Folk, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. Listen Up Denver! had the honor of catching up with Little Feat’s Paul Barrere while he was in a hotel in New York, and we talked Feat past and present.

Last week, thousands of Comic-Con faithful, metalheads, frat boy rock fans, and other interested observers descended on Red Rocks when Tenacious D brought their tunes and live band to the famed amphitheater.

The Polyphonic Spree – April 10th – The Bluebird

Estimated read time 5 min read

The energy and passion that The Polyphonic Spree threw out last Tuesday at The Bluebird was overwhelming and the crowd threw it right back. The lights that shone from the stage into the audience seemed to distort objects and people. By the end of the band’s two hour set, we would have gladly donned a robe and gotten on the bus with them. They may not be a “religious” band, but they definitely tap into a spiritual side of life. Praises to love, life, and the sun were sung with a Pentecostal revivalist snake charming fervor.
