It's pretty amazing when people are so talented they put out awesome side-projects in addition to their regular full-time band. Such is the case with Nate Valdez (of In The Whale) who has recently launched a solo project aptly called VALDEZ. If you have ever…

I am not sure how singer songwriter LP has slipped under my radar for so long, seeing as she has been recording her own music and writing major hits since the early 00's, but I am now fully aware of how incredible she is. LP…

Have you heard "Still Feel" by Half•Alive yet? If not, go listen now. I'll wait. It's one of those infectious tunes that you put on repeat for hours and never get tired of. That's pretty much what this band feels like in concert too. They…

Happy 303 Day! March 3rd is a bit of a holiday around Denver where we celebrate local music and the city we love. (If it's not obvious, 303 is our dominate area code.) There are events going on all over town at various Illegal Pete's…

I am a big fan of our Denver Museum of Science, and I always love catching the new IMAX films playing there. Recently I was able to see Volcanoes 3D: Fires of Creation, which will be there until August 21, 2019. The film was just…

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write this post. We moved to Denver in 1994 and ever since then, we've been making recommendations for friends who come to visit. Recently, I started a spreadsheet to help me remember  – and finally, the…

We head back to London soon, and I have been working on our packing list. I realized you all could benefit from my Type-A personality, so I will share a printable as well as a spreadsheet that you can build on yourself. I did not…

Both Bryan and I grew up in Maryland, and when you are from Maryland, you eat Maryland steamed crabs. But since we moved to Denver 24 years ago, we were a little rusty on the best places to go. Over the past year or so,…

Recently, I was discussing with a friend how time feels elastic. That sometimes things move so fast and sometimes so slow - but also that you can feel both at the same time. It's exactly how I feel on the second anniversary of your death.…

In the old days, I used this blog to share the personal details of our lives, especially with my family back east. I also used it just to save my memories since I have so much trouble remembering things. I have vowed to get back…

My family always gathered at Mom's house for Christmas Eve. I think it started from having large sections of my Dad's family to visit on Christmas Day, but the tradition continued my whole life, until even now with our best friends here in Denver. Christmas…

I reach out to your office often and I feel like all I get back is form letters, so now I am taking to my blog to talk to you. I have seen in the news that it's probable you are going to vote "yes"…

It's been another great year for me photographing concerts here in Denver. Selecting photos for this post is always a joy, but so difficult. There were a plethora of fantastic shows in 2018, but I have to say it definitely was the year for me…

I was lucky enough to see the Misfits reunion at Denver's Riot Fest in 2016. Which, don't get me wrong, was really fun - but seeing punk bands in a small venue like the Bluebird Theater is a whole different thing. Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein brought…

Was able to get on the phone today with Josh Katz, front man for the band Badflower. They open for The Wrecks on November 14th at Denver's Marquis Theatre, but sorry - the show is already sold out. Fear not, Badflower returns to Denver in…

I had never seen Smashing Pumpkins until now. Sure, I was able to see Billy Corgan solo last year and while he always seems like the driving force of the band, the band (almost) all back together is truly a sight to behold. Sure, Billy…
