As everyone has been asking, "what's the last concert you saw before lockdown?" these past two months - my answer is "The Unlikely Candidates at Bluebird Theater Denver." Which is why I couldn't bring myself to edit these photos all this time - that means…

It's true, I have been holding on to the last few shows I photographed and savoring them. One is the band Best Coast in Denver at the Ogden Theatre. Best Coast just released their first album in four years, with lots of focus on lead…

Murder By Death is one of those bands that has a very extraordinary relationship with their fans. They knew their 20th-anniversary tour would be a big deal. Fans flew from around the country to be at shows and, in turn, the band asked the folks…

I remember like it was yesterday ... Thanksgiving 2019. We barely escaped Denver's biggest snowstorm of the year to head to Mía Reef Isla Mujeres, an all-inclusive resort on the north end of Isla Mujeres island, which is just off the coast from Cancun. By…

Note: Our meal was provided by Barcelona Wine Bar but words and photos are mine. We've been going to the RiNo District for years for music and fun, and watched the many changes that have made the area one of Denver's most popular night time…

Note: I am a promotional partner for Chicken Fight Fest. We had such a great time at last year's Chicken Fight Fest Denver! It was one of my favorite food tasting events and they are back again for 2020. The date is Thursday, May 21st…

Many people remember Miguel Dakota from America's Got Talent. But did you know he formed his current band around that same time – and they have been playing together ever since? Dream Feed consists of Dakota (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Ryan Wagner (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Will…

The band Weathers is on a roll. They have been touring like crazy, finishing up their stint with Echosmith this weekend, releasing new songs such as "Feel Good" and making a ton of die-hard fans along the way. I was able to sit down with…

Looking for something very UN-Valentine's Day to do in Denver this weekend? (And next weekend? And the weekend after that?) Check out the French Punk pop-up from local event company Thrice (not the band Thrice - I know, I was initially confused too). Thrice was…

What's nice about being a music and travel blogger is all the fun mail I get! I'm serious! Every week, I get hundreds of tidbits about music news, new releases, videos, shows (well, I used to) and since I don't really feel qualified to be…

Since we are all craving going out right now, some friends invited us to a Zoom dance party last night. Honestly, it was one of the most fun things we have done since lockdown started. But, since several of us are tech-minded and we still…

I have been working remotely for nine years now. But I almost always have clients enter the meeting with video off under the guise (and truth!) that I am just going to share my screen. Since we have been in quarantine, clicking that link to…

Trigger Warning: Abuse and Sexism If you ask a woman about existing in a crowded public space, we all have stories about being rubbed up against or groped. Sometimes it's overt, sometimes it's someone brushing past and copping a feel so stealthily, we have no…

Thanks for another great year, Denver! There were so many wonderful concerts in 2019, including a bunch of bands playing in smaller venues than they normally do. But it was a real highlight for me to photograph Billy Joel - one of my family's all…

Another great year for new music! I build my "Best of" Spotify playlist from January through December, adding songs as I discover them and/or when I am in the mood to go looking for new music. My 2019 playlist is mostly indie or alternative music,…
