I feel incredibly lucky that we got back to concerts in 2021. It was so fun to collect my best concert photos and reflect on this year. While shows were limited and sometimes a bumpy ride – it was vastly better than 2020, when I…

One of my favorite Denver bands is Wildermiss. However, I have a feeling they won't strictly be considered a "Denver" band much longer because I keep watching them do amazing things. I know I've said similar things about them in the past, but we've all…

CHVRCHES is one of those bands who are so incredible live they can play both Denver and Boulder back to back, but I was lucky to see them at Mission Ballroom, our new(ish) venue that helped these Scottish indie-pop pros strut their stuff in the…

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…

Mark your calendars! Denver band Elektric Animals are hosting a fundraiser concert for the next generation of Colorado musicians via one of our most loved local nonprofits, Youth On Record. The event will be held at Globe Hall on Saturday, January 15th, with Elektric Animals…

We have, off and on, been members of the Denver Botanic Gardens for over 20 years. During high school, our son would often stop there after he was finished for the day and sketch. I truly believe it was a huge force in helping him…

Denver band iZCALLi and Meow Wolf are teaming up for a celebration of diversity in Colorado with an event that honors the Hispanic/Latino community and connects cultures. La Posada will feature an evening of entertainment and community alongside a toy drive to benefit families in…

You all know me - I love our local music scene. So, I was thrilled to get on a call with Hunter James, a Denver musician and singer I have known for years. He has played in other Denver bands and on his own, but…

If you were like me, you spent a ton of time drooling over jewelry during the past year. The online ads definitely figured out my style, and I was lucky to meet up with OXB (Our Exercise Brand), founded here in Denver. Those who know…

I've known One Flew West almost since right when they started out, and I can't believe this is the first time I have interviewed them (but be sure to check out my other live posts!). They are one of my favorite Denver bands and I…

What year is it again? Oh right! 2021! And believe it or not, I curated more songs into my "Best Of The Year" music playlist than ever before. Perhaps there were some pent up songs, pent up feelings, or I was just really was ready…

I have seen Dave Matthews Band several times, including that beautiful Red Rocks show in 1995, but I have never had the opportunity to photograph him. That changed last week at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, where the atmosphere was pretty euphoric for long-time fans to see…

This year's Westword Music Showcase was a departure from years past. WMS 2021 moved to the RiNo neighborhood and split into two nights. I was humbled to host the Larimer Lounge stage during night one, as well as have a pop-up concert photo gallery in…
