The Black Angels stopped off for a night at the Boulder Theater last Friday, during their current tour, in support of their new album Indigo Meadow. The energy of the crowd was excited, as the band powered through old hits like Yound Men Dead and Manipulation, and new songs like Don't Play With Guns, Evil Things, and Indigo Meadow. I thought it was one of the best shows I've seen... read more

If you haven't seen Boulder locals Grant Farm yet, you should get a ticket for the Fox Theatre tomorrow night. The band is fairly new and released their self-titled debut in March 2012, and has spent the last year touring in support. Grant Farm's guitarist is Tyler Grant, who won the National Flatpicking Championship several years ago and is an all-around surgeon on guitar. Before Grant... read more
There was a plethora of good 4/20 shows last weekend, and I decided to check out Black Mountain, one of my personal favorites, at the Fox Theatre. The show itself was fairly minimal- no crazy light displays or trippy visuals usually associted with psych-rock shows- but it was a good show regardless. They let the music speak for itself with Black Mountain's mix of 70's rock, reverb laden... read more
You know what's great? Seeing some of your favorite local artists sit-in, play, and jam together. Even better when said jam is a 90's revival. Tomorrow night, March 30th at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom will surely be a night of great Colorado music. Members from the Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Rose Hill Drive, YAMN, the Fox Street Allstars, The Congress, MTHDS, Kinetix, Octopus Nebula, Tiger... read more
I think the hardest part about winter is that music slows down, musicians stop touring, and you're forced to wait until summer as line-up after line-up for festivals are released. Well, you can get your mid-winter festival fill this weekend at the 1st annual Winter Wonder Grass Festival, which is a little festival but chalked full of some of the best string musicians around today. The... read more
If you ask me, there's 3 genres lacking in the Boulder music scene: Rock, Psychedelic, and Reggae. Fortunately we got two out of three the other night when Na'an Stop nailed reggae-rock at the Fox Theatre. This was their first headlining show at the venue and they sold it out on a Wednesday. I got to talk with the guys a few days after the show, and it's pretty clear they're just... read more
What a weekend of music we’ve got coming up here on the Front Range. Friday night I’ll be starting off my weekend at the Fox with Great American Taxi and Poor Man’s Whiskey for a little Americana infused good times. Both bands know how to make crowds hoot, holler and get down with their bad selves, so definitely roll by the Fox if you don’t have Friday night plans. I talked with Taxi... read more
Folk-rock darling Dar Williams is on tour to support her latest release In the Time of Gods, and begins the Colorado leg of her winter tour tomorrow in Denver. Williams is known for her thoughtful, story-like lyrics; and a beautiful voice set against a folk-pop sound. The new album is her ninth release, which looks at today’s issues set against the parables of Greek mythology. I’d recommend... read more
Well, New Years has come and gone, and as always it takes me a couple days to recover and put up some photos. I started off my New Years show run with Yonder Mountain String Band at the Boulder Theater on November 28th; and as always, they didn't disappoint. I was happy to hear Steep Grade, Sharp Curves; You Left Me In A Hole, Complicated, and At the End of the Day. Wish I could've caught... read more
