Groove Festival – Georgetown, CO – July 18th-20th

Estimated read time 14 min read

Groove Music and Arts Festival weighed heavy with Funk, with a liberal helping of Bluegrass and Jam on the side. It also included camping, at a very modest price, and several workshops. Families were strongly encouraged to come; children were free and there was a special camping area for families near the main stage area. While the placement of the bands on the schedule wasn’t perfect, the musical selection was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous and the people who came were equally beautiful. All in all, it was an amazing weekend.

Umphrey’s McGee made a triumphant entrance to the Red Rocks stage with Edvard Griegs’ epic “Hall of The Mountain King” blaring on the PA. With drummer Kris Meyers adding some thunder to the backing track and bassist Ryan Stasik pumping up the crowd with the two handed rock lock, the crowd quickly whipped into a frenzy and the band dropped into “Divisions.” This was a perfect way to get things going and the syncopated fireworks displayed by guitar players Jake Cinniger and Brendon Bayliss were a sign of things to come.
