I was lucky enough to catch The Regrettes at Shaky Knees in Atlanta earlier this year, so I was thrilled when they visited us in Denver. It was a packed show, which is always fun at the Marquis because it feels like the whole place…

Recently Neon The Bishop headlined Larimer Lounge (right before they played my stage at Westword Music Showcase). Fellow locals Sophie Gray and Redlands joined the fun – making the whole night a bonafide party. Some other coolness: Neon The Bishop has a special show coming…

What a wild ride this year's WMS was! I was honored to be a partner again and host the Larimer Lounge stage on Friday night of the festival. Our locals line-up was incredible: Immigrant's Child, The Crooked Rugs, Endless Nameless, Elektric Animals, Neon The Bishop…

It's always a fun night when our pals The Unlikely Candidates come to town. We have been friends for a long time and, yes, I have interviewed them before. So, when they played Denver's new-ish Meow Wolf, it was great to have a chance to…

I was lucky to grab some time recently to interview Chadwick Stokes of Dispatch – we had a patchy zoom while he was on tour but still managed to talk about some deep issues – and definitely the fun stuff too! They just played here…

I was excited to get on zoom with Alice Merton recently, and we chatted about all kinds of things. From her songwriting, to getting back to concerts, to the insane world events swirling around us. She was incredibly friendly and open – and I can't…

Dazzle and Denver Arts & Venues have announced that Dazzle will be moving to the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Dazzle, Colorado’s premier independently-owned jazz venue, will take over the vacant space at 1080 14th Street this winter. Dazzle plans to move into their new home…

Note: This is a partnership with Breckenridge Brewery but all photos and thoughts are my own. When Breckenridge Brewery reached out for me to try their Juice Drop Hazy IPA, I chuckled a little bit. I am almost exclusively a light beer gal, especially in…

Header photo by Nikki Rae It's almost here! The UMS (Underground Music Showcase) returns to Broadway in Denver and is bigger + better than ever. I was pretty thrilled to see Youth On Record join Two Parts this year to lead the festival. That means…

Note: Palace Resorts provided my stay, however all words and photos are mine. I am a Palace Resorts affiliate partner and may receive a commission for purchases made through links on this site. I have wanted to visit the Moon Palace Cancun for years, back…

Note: Our stay was covered but Hotel Boulderado but all words and photos are mine. Header photo by Marissa Daily. We used to head up to Boulder all the time. But first with that multi-year construction project on 36, and then (of course) COVID, it's…

We love to travel to Mexico, but specifically the Cancun and Riviera Maya area. Many of these tips below apply everywhere in Mexico, but obviously the airport info all about Cancun. We hope these "things to know" help you get prepared, then get on the…

Tears For Fears is by far one of my favorite bands of all time, ever since I was a teen. When I heard they were going to play our fantastic outdoor venue, Levitt Denver, I almost could not believe it. THEN the legendary Garbage was…

I was happy to chat with Nick Anderson from The Wrecks last week, not only because they will be playing at Denver's Gothic Theatre in June 17, but because I am also a fan of their music. Their sophomore album, Sonder, will be released this…

I always feel a bit sad when concluding festival posts, because that means it's truly over. I have repeated said how much I enjoyed attending Shaky Knees and I look forward to hopefully returning in future years (bringing our Denver crew with me!?). Because not…
