Music is coming back in Denver as restrictions on venues are lifted. It’s wonderful! I have mentioned several times that one of the most perfect places for socially distanced concerts is Levitt Pavilion Denver, with an expansive lawn to spread out on. A few weeks…

FIDLAR at Gothic Theatre

When the security guys in the pit are getting pumped for a show, you know it's gonna be good. With crowd surfing and a whole lot of people rocking out. That's what went down when FIDLAR took over The Gothic in Denver last month. I…

We are so lucky here in Denver that we get so many great bands coming through. Recently the band COIN blew the roof off Gothic Theatre, with great support from Utah band The Aces. I knew how great COIN was from their appearance at Westword…

I often talk about how Rob Drabkin is the first Denver musician I ever met in person, although neither of us can remember exactly when that was. It has to be over a decade now, at least, and I try to photograph at least one…

In the early 2000's, I was in the midst of having a baby and missed out on a wide spectrum of music. It's really a blur, honestly. But I am making up for lost time now and thrilled that bands like Silverstein and Tonight Alive are still…

Singer/Songwriter Ian Mahan at Lost Lake Denver

I have seen Ian Mahan perform live a few times but hadn't had a chance to photograph him until his show last week at Lost Lake Lounge. Ian recently released a new single, "Breakaway," but was also pretty prolific in 2017 with two EPs. He writes some great songs, but is also fun to see live. It's usually a stripped down concert, which IMO shows off his songs best. Although he's the kind of songwriter that it would be cool to see a full orchestra behind him too. (Maybe later in 2018???) Either way, keep an eye on Ian Mahan and get out to see him when you can.

Garbage. When I say their name, invariably someone starts singing a line from their favorite song - usually "I'm only happy when it rains." Personally, my fave is "I Think I'm Paranoid," and while there are a ton of great tunes to choose from, be…
