Everything they say about this venue is true. So awesome, breathtakingly beautiful, and the sound quality was amazing. So happy to have finally made a show here, and to see someone with an orchestra in this setting was perfect. From Colorado Public Radio:https://www.cpr.org/2026/08/20/concert-review-nathaniel-rateliff-brings-the-colorado-symphony-to-red-rocks/ Rateliff’s gritty yet soulful vocals took on a new dimension alongside the sweeping orchestral arrangements, creating beautiful...

Big fan of Garrett T Capps. Found they’d be together at something called Mooshfest; wtf is Mooshfest? See the links above. Well… We didn’t take a vacation in 2025, so wheels started turning, and August 2026 Vacation planning started. I (we) are NOT the type of people who...

Cash meets Clash https://tumblerootbreweryanddistillery.com/event/waco-brothers/ Unfortunately, Jon Langford could not make it due to the weather but Deano and the band rocked on without missing a beat. As a long-time Waco Brothers fan, catching them live was a real treat since they don’t play outside of Chicago or tour all that much these days. They FN Killed it. Setlist Tumbleroot was...

Lucero, great as always. Cool in such a small venue, and it actually was disappointingly small crowd. I’d heard a few Vandoliers songs, but live – they rock it hard! Definitely will try to catch them again sometime, closer to home.

On our recent short vacation to meet friends in Bourbon Country Kentucky, we stopped and spent a couple days in Clarksdale, MS – Birthplace of the Blues. Everyone we met was super friendly and open, and it was very enjoyable visiting the Delta Blues Museum. Also located in Clarksdale – ‘The Crossroads’ – where Robert Johnson sold his soul to...

Traveled over to NO to catch Lucero & Ryan Bingham at Tipatinas. It was a great show, and we had fun kicking around the area, staying off the usual touristy areas. Stayed at a cute Airbnb walking distance to Tipatinas. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2464604?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=41136ad2-87cc-46fa-bec3-74625f254bcf Photo Album

Part of my NW solo vacation to Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. Cool setting, just a handful of folks, Bobby and his guitar. Bobby is now a full-time band member of Guided By Voices.

Aug 3-5, 2012Key part of my NW solo vacation to Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. This festival is unique in that admissions are capped to keep it somewhat intimate. Many if not most camp onsite for the duration. I stayed at a nearby hotel and took a shuttle back and forth. A lot of amazing music, I targeted bands I knew...

Unbelievable Show. Best of any concert I’ve been to. Period. The Ryman. Seven rows back. Wilco. F*ck yeah. Sometimes lady luck shines on you. Whenever I travel, I always check for shows in the area, and as soon as I knew I was going to Nashville for a conference, I started checking and snagged a ticket right away. Saved by...
