Elephant Revival performed their first headlining concert at Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre recently, which is the loftiest of goals for most musicians - not to even mention local bands. This "transcendental folk" group are from Nederland, a small town of 1,500 people up the hill in…

The 2016 Westword Music Showcase was another killer day in Denver. A ton of local bands played early in the day and national headliners filled the main stage at night. In my opinion, far too many people only show up later and miss some of…

Riot Fest Denver 2016: Full Schedule & Single Day Tickets

I almost hate to think about how quickly Riot Fest is approaching because that means the end of summer will be here before we know it. This music festival features punk, rock, alternative, metal, plus hip-hop and celebrates its fourth year in Denver this Labor Day, but has rocked Chicago since 2005. I have been lucky enough to photograph all years here, from out on the plains in Byers to the latest fun at National Western Stockshow. Riot Fest announced the final line-up this week, including who would appear on what day and the ability to purchase single day tickets. (We bought 3-day VIP at early bird prices because they are worth every penny.)

Recently I sat down with 3/4's of a new Denver band called CITRA. Brandon, Augie and Sean met me for margaritas at Mezcal while Dan was home with the flu. I had been enjoying their debut EP Ocean and was excited to chat. Welcome to…

Every St. Patrick's Day, our local indie radio station KTCL Channel 93.3 throws a party called Keggs & Eggs. This year it fell exactly on St. Patrick's Day, which happened to be a Thursday, which pretty much created a four-day weekend because who wants to…
