Good Gravy! | Fox Theater | 3/8/12 | Review and Photos

Fort Collins-based Good Gravy! unleashed their special blend of jamgrass on an eager crowd at the Fox Theater in Boulder on Thursday night. Jeremy Page (vox/guitar), Ross Montgomery (vox, mandolin), Evan Brenton (vox/bass), Kyle VanBuskirk (percussion/keys/trumpet) and Nick Deyo (vox/drums) have a sound that many compare to Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band and The… Continue reading Good Gravy! | Fox Theater | 3/8/12 | Review and Photos

Impressively Awesome: The Yawpers throw down at the Walnut Room

This past Saturday at The Walnut Room I experienced The Yawpers.  I purposefully say, “experienced,” because that is happens when you see The Yawpers, you gain a meaningful experience.  Well, maybe not meaningful, but definitely a great time where you may find yourself getting sucked into their rhythmic guitar riffs, dancing, and drinking a bit… Continue reading Impressively Awesome: The Yawpers throw down at the Walnut Room

Los Lobos | Boulder Theater | 3/9/2012 | Review and Photos

Los Lobos played an intimate acoustic performance on Friday night at the Boulder Theater. The Mexican-American rock and roll band who are probably best known for their work on the “La Bamba” soundtrack brought the house down, but had a bit of a hard time keeping the show fully acoustic. The theater broke out the… Continue reading Los Lobos | Boulder Theater | 3/9/2012 | Review and Photos

Leftover Salmon | Fox Theater | 3/7/2012 | Review

Many different bands could be sited as having created the Boulder music sound. Since the 1970s and even before, Boulder has been an outlet for “freaks” everywhere to unite and be free in artistic creation and expression. Along with having a large population of young people from University of Colorado’s Boulder campus, the spirit of… Continue reading Leftover Salmon | Fox Theater | 3/7/2012 | Review

Drive-By Truckers | Fox Theater | 3/10/12 | Review & Photos

The Drive-By Truckers don’t play mediocre live shows. It’s pretty much a guarantee that any given audience in any given city is set to have their collective mind blown as they sit in a jam-packed theater, watching the techs set up the mics and guitars and set out the signature bottles of Jack Daniels and… Continue reading Drive-By Truckers | Fox Theater | 3/10/12 | Review & Photos

Bonobo | Fox Theatre | 2/24/12 | Review

Embrace is the term that best summarizes the exchange between Bonobo and his audience, a welcoming and adoption of the noise that surrounds listeners. Simon Green, a UK native, is a pioneer and mastermind of the downtempo/trip hop sound that is Bonobo. Usually accompanied with a live band, Green holds his ground gracefully above the… Continue reading Bonobo | Fox Theatre | 2/24/12 | Review

Dark Star Orchestra | Revolution | Fort Lauderdale, FL | Review

Being relatively young compared to most at tonight’s Dark Star Orchestra’s show you would be correct in assuming I was never able to see the Grateful Dead in their entirety. I have however seen every reincarnate band that has come to fruition since Jerry’s passing in August of 95 and I’m fairly confidant in saying… Continue reading Dark Star Orchestra | Revolution | Fort Lauderdale, FL | Review

Yonder Mountain String Band with Larry Keel, at The Jefferson Theater

I’ve mentioned a number of times how musically-diverse I find Charlottesville, Virginia to be.. On any given nite, one may find a large variety of live music available.. This past Sunday, I stopped into The Jefferson Theater and enjoyed a great show by bluegrass wunderkinds The Yonder Mountain String Band. One member was absent from… Continue reading Yonder Mountain String Band with Larry Keel, at The Jefferson Theater

Conspirator: Blizzard of Beats Tour | Fox Theater | Review

The snow was dumping in Boulder on one of the coldest nights of the year as die hards piled into the Fox Theatre to see the Disco Biscuits‘ side projects: Dr. Fameus and Conspirator. Conspirator consists of Marc Brownstein (Biscuit’s bassist), Aron Magner (Biscuit’s keyboard player), Chris Michetti (RAQ’s guitarist), and a rotating cast of… Continue reading Conspirator: Blizzard of Beats Tour | Fox Theater | Review

WhiteWater Ramble | Fox Theatre | 2/21/12

The night is young around midnight; the music loud, beads and balloons reflect the Mardi Gras aura at Fox Theatre with WhiteWater Ramble. The show, much like their music, is unpredictable to say the least. The evening consists of staple WhiteWater tunes, a few Mardi Gras classics, an always-packed stage of welcome accompaniments, and a… Continue reading WhiteWater Ramble | Fox Theatre | 2/21/12
