My husband Bryan and I were married 20 years ago this May in Denver. We'd only lived here a short time and had not met many people yet, so most of the guests flew in from Maryland (where we grew up) and Germany (where my family…

I first heard "Don't Dream It's Over" as I was pulling into the mall parking lot in 1986. I was late for work at the record store, but I just sat in my car as this gorgeous song floated all around me. I bought Crowded House's first…

I had never seen My Morning Jacket before, but I had always heard they were amazing live. They proved this during their recent two-night return to Denver's Red Rocks Ampitheatre, along with second-night openers The Barr Brothers. My Morning Jacket is known for their in-your-face rock with…

The 2016 Westword Music Showcase was another killer day in Denver. A ton of local bands played early in the day and national headliners filled the main stage at night. In my opinion, far too many people only show up later and miss some of…

Riot Fest Denver 2016: Full Schedule & Single Day Tickets

I almost hate to think about how quickly Riot Fest is approaching because that means the end of summer will be here before we know it. This music festival features punk, rock, alternative, metal, plus hip-hop and celebrates its fourth year in Denver this Labor Day, but has rocked Chicago since 2005. I have been lucky enough to photograph all years here, from out on the plains in Byers to the latest fun at National Western Stockshow. Riot Fest announced the final line-up this week, including who would appear on what day and the ability to purchase single day tickets. (We bought 3-day VIP at early bird prices because they are worth every penny.)
