I had the pleasure of chatting with the band Whitacre a few weeks before their sold-out album release show at Lost Lake Lounge. I finally made it out to see them live and indeed, they put on a great show. Fun rock along with the…
I met Paul Whitacre from the band Whitacre at least a year ago and I have been trying to make a show of his ever since. For whatever reason it has never worked out, but I am looking forward to their headlining show at Lost…
Levitt Denver has done a great job this summer of pairing local Denver bands with national acts that come through for their free concert series. However, in the case of Slim Cessna's Auto Club, they had a local act that is so big they could…

Either way, keep an eye on Ian Mahan and get out to see him when you can.
