The Platte river may not run green like the Chicago River, but Denverites are no less zealous in their celebration of the patron saint of Ireland. The celebration began on Saturday March 14th, and continued through March 17th in what seemed like a four day non-ending pub crawl. With a firm constitution, and cast iron liver, I made it through all this year’s celebratory activities which culminated in a great night of locals only music at the Bluebird Theater on Colfax.

Although Riot Fest celebrated it’s tenth anniversary this year, it was only the second year that the festival has come to Colorado. The festival was originally located in Byers, but after the town refused to let festival attendees return for the second year, the event was moved to the blacktop at Sports Authority Field in Denver. Riot Fest is one-of-a-kind festival, with carnival rides and sideshows and a wide variety of music ranging from Rock to Punk to Rap.

True sounds of American Alternative Rock rang from Atlanta, GA on May 9-11, 2014 at the Shaky Knees Festival. With headlining acts like The Violent Femmes, The Replacements, Alabama Shakes, and The National, the event drew large crowds and made good on the ticket, but the venue had ample space, sparing attendees the typical troubles of summer festival overcrowding. The line-up even featured some of Denver’s own musical talent, including singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov and Folk/Baroque Pop band Paper Bird.

A crowd dressed in scally caps, punk rock T’s, boots, bracers, and the occasional kilt packed the floor of The Fillmore last week when the Dropkick Murphys brought their own brand of Irish drinking music to Denver. They opened up their set with “For Boston,” a cover of the Boston College fight song, as a quick tip of the hat to their hometown and all that it had been through recently with the Boston Marathon bombings and then we were off to the races as they played the hits, both old and new.

First Friday packed the sidewalks and bars along Tennyson as a healthy crowd filed into The Oriental Theater for a night of musical tributes (and at least one surprise guest). With The Dirty Femmes honoring The Violent Femmes, MF Ruckus nodding to Iron Maiden, and Hell’s Belles doing their best AC/DC impression, it was a night complete with sex, drugs, and Rock and Roll.
