Music is coming back in Denver as restrictions on venues are lifted. It’s wonderful! I have mentioned several times that one of the most perfect places for socially distanced concerts is Levitt Pavilion Denver, with an expansive lawn to spread out on. A few weeks…

Very excited to get back to concert photos and thrilled that my first show back at Red Rocks was Lucero. The band has been a long time fave and they did not disappoint after all this time off. They maybe felt a bit tentative, but…

Live music is back, baby! Denver rock band iZCALLi hosted their 8th Rock De Mayo at Levitt Pavilion last weekend, and even Mother Nature smiled on us by keeping the rain away. The lineup spanned many local Latin and jazz bands, including personal favorites Wes…

Wilderado is a band who I have seen at several festivals, here in Denver and away when I have traveled. They are super fun live, and I also love watching their dedicated fan base enjoy the show as much as I do. As with all…

I love how people can evolve and grow over time and try new things. Christopher Harold Wells is no stranger to being in and around bands, but his project The Neverlutionaries released their debut self-titled album in February of this year. A self-described "weird kid,"…

I remember having Justin Nozuka's song "After Tonight" on repeat in 2007. Such a catchy song that sticks in your brain. But, as you will see below, Justin has released a ton of music in the years since - as well as took a break…

Hooray! Two of my favorite Colorado mountain vacation spots have announced their activities and events for the 2021 summer season. YMCA of the Rockies - meaning Estes Park Center and Snow Mountain Ranch – are both located near Rocky Mountain National Park, and offer access…

Here in Denver, we have finally embraced using our streets for public spaces. Sadly, it took a global pandemic to do it - but I, for one, am all for these changes being permanent. Recently I heard about a project in Sweden to use building…

Note: a portion of my tab was covered by Number Thirty Eight, but all words and photos are mine. "Did you change things for COVID, or was all this [waves hands] serendipitous?" That was my first question to Number Thirty Eight CEO Spencer Fronk as…

If you told me six months ago that one of our first outings post-vaccination would be to a selfie museum, I would have been ... surprised, to say the least. But when Selfie WRLD Denver asked us to join them on opening night, how could…

I am excited to see the events we always looked forward to coming back to life in 2021, but also making considerations to do them a bit differently in a year where people are still naturally cautious from the pandemic. Below are the details for…

Are you ready for events? Not quite, right? Right about now, we would normally be getting our #WestwordFeast tickets and pre-planning our food and drink tastings. It's a little early to for completely back to normal but Westword has got us covered 'til then. How…

I don't know about you, but I have been spending a great deal of time to past year on Pinterest. It's my happy place and I always find fun ideas there ... ones that sometimes I've actually even had the time to try (seeing as…

We made it! What a year! Will we even remember it? Seems like a total blur to me. But I still collected my favorite indie, rock, pop and local music in a Best of 2020 playlist on Spotify all year. Over 550 songs even! Our…

I love finding new music and emerging artists! Especially ones as talented at Joy Downer, who - with her husband - recorded her debut album Paper Moon in their home studio. It's modern and vintage at the same time, something this child of the 70s…
