One of the best albums of 2014 was Hozier's self-titled debut. If it were vinyl, I would have worn it out by now. I missed him the first time he toured through Colorado, so I was determined to make this last summer 2015 date at…
The Denver music family really is a family. Recently, when My Body Sings Electric members Brandon and Nick jokingly started a Twitter fight (mostly about being in a van together for a long time), my response was to put them in online time-out. What these…
Every year the Denver Post throws a huge music party on South Broadway called the Underground Music Festival (UMS), and it takes almost a month to recover. 400+ bands, mostly local, at 20+ venues is probably more than a "party" - but when you see…
We have been lucky at Red Rocks this summer; most nights have been breezy and warm. If it rained, it was light or happened earlier than showtime. The Tour de Compadres was no exception, and we were treated to gorgeous music with a crescent moon…
Yet another concert featuring one of my all-time bands, whom I had never seen live. Culture Club has reunited and mounted an American tour (that I am pretending in my head was just for my benefit). Sadly, drummer Jon Moss had a back injury, forcing…
I often say that Nerf and KTCL Channel 93.3 have an uncanny ability to put together a stellar concert lineup and 2015's Big Gig was no exception (click here to see band interviews). AWOLnation, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Banks, New Politics, Atlas Genius, Saint…
The problem with being a part-time concert photographer and full-time web developer is that you are constantly trying to catch up on editing photos. Denver's indie newspaper Westword held its annual music festival in June and I had thousands of photos to get through!
The show itself is always awesome - chock full of a huge variety of local bands during the day and national headliners who play into the night. For me, it's one of my very favorite days of summer because you hear so much music, as well as discover new bands you have wanted to see for a while.
There is no way to get around to everything, so check out the lineup from 2015's WMS. Below are bands I was able to photograph, all of whom were amazing.
(DJ Alf agrees).
