I try and go see friends and excellent Denver band iZCALLi whenever I can, especially for their traditional La Posada concert – held this year at the Gothic Theatre on South Broadway. The band formed in 2005, and around that time they played a fundraiser…

One of my top priorities in 2022 was to see Beabadoobee in concert. We made it just under the wire with her sold out show at Summit Music Hall. Beabadoobee (stage name for Beatrice Kristi Ilejay Laus) is a Filipino-British singer-songwriter whose music has great…

AFI formed in 1991 – and I never saw them live until 2022. Since 1998, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Davey Havok, drummer and backing vocalist Adam Carson, bassist, backing vocalist and keyboardist Hunter Burgan, and guitarist, backing vocalist and keyboardist Jade Puget.…

I have seen Bury Mia play a few times and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to get online to meet with three of the four band members last week. Bury Mia is bassist/vocalist Devin Martinez, guitarist/vocalist Justin O’Neal, drummer Marcus Allen-Hille and guitarist…

At the beginning of Fall, I was able to catch The Luka State playing at Denver's Lost Lake Lounge on Colfax. I really wanted to see them because of their high energy on recorded music. In person, the band did not disappoint (see photos below).…

I have been lucky to see and photograph the band Echosmith several times in the past. It's always a super fun time and they return to Denver on November 8th at our Marquis Theater. I am pretty sure the floor up to the beams will…

One of the first signs of Spring around Denver is when KTCL Channel 93.3 announce their lineup for Keggs & Eggs. This early morning concert is always set to celebrate St. Patrick's Day; for 2023, it's hitting the holiday exactly. On March 17th, 2023, our…

It sounds extremely weird to say it, but this blog turned 17 years old this week. Seventeen. That is 1/3 of my life. Seventeen years that I have been pouring my heart and soul into this online digest. I often say I started as a…

I'm super happy that our favorite events are back in action – and that means Westword Feast will return to the McNichols Building on November 3, 2022 – with all the food and drink tastings we could ever want. What is Westword Feast, you might…

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…

This year was like a blur to me. So many shows, so much new music. This "Best of 2022" playlist is the biggest I have ever had! Over 675 songs. 😳 I curate this playlist all year long and it's a true labor of love.…

After a bunch of new music in recent years, it was great to have AWOLNATION back to Denver for a concert. Aaron Bruno and the crew never disappoint – it's always loud, moody, and electrifying at the same time. The crowd at Fillmore Denver was…

I owe everyone from Colorado Is For Lovers an apology. This event happened here in Denver in late August and, yes, I am just finishing editing the photos now. In my defense, I started out with thousands because it was an ALL DAY AND NIGHT…
