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…
