Pacific Northwest songsmith John Craigie teams up with Portland‑bred roots renegades Fruition for a festive, back‑to‑back run at Denver’s historic Ogden Theatre on Friday, December 12, and Saturday, December 13, 2025. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, July 18 at 10:00 a.m. MT through AXS.
Craigie, fresh off the release of his live collection Greatest Hits… Just Kidding… Live — No Hits, brings his trademark blend of humor, heart, and razor‑sharp observation to one of his favorite tour stops. Over a decade of relentless roadwork—including festival highlights at Newport Folk, Pickathon, and High Sierra—has cemented the storyteller as a must‑see act, while his holiday #KeepItWarm Tour continues to raise thousands for regional food‑security nonprofits.
Joining him are longtime friends Fruition, the harmony‑stacking quintet whose brand‑new album How To Make Mistakes captures the band’s electric stage chemistry in one take, no overdubs. Now 15 years in, Jay Cobb Anderson, Mimi Naja, Kellen Asebroek, Jeff Leonard, and Tyler Thompson arrive revitalized, blending folk, soul, rock, and pop into a sound that moves effortlessly from festival main stage to front‑porch picking party.
Together, Craigie and Fruition promise two nights of heartfelt storytelling, soaring three‑part harmonies, and the kind of musical camaraderie that has made December in Denver a can’t‑miss tradition for live‑music fans.
