Despite a long wait before Ms. Lauryn Hill took the stage last Sunday night at the Ogden Theatre, the evening turned out to be an extremely creative night of music. The Mrs. Lauryn Hill experience came through town and was looking to get down, and that’s sure as heck what they did. Hill’s energy was at an extreme high, swag and attitude were on point, and her vocals could not have been more strikingly profound, impressively articulate, and unfathomably beautiful.

The music scene in Colorado is about as diverse as it gets. Bluegrass, Rock, Funk, Soul, Roots and Reggae music are just some of the genres that are well represented locally…and often time’s bands pull from various genres in order to produce their signature sound. Bonfire Dub is one of those bands. Born in Vail, Bonfire Dub has a sound that represents a lot of what Colorado is about. Their performance will take you on a genre spanning journey, yet still allow you to stay in the same groove.

It’s safe to say the secret is out about Greensky Bluegrass. Their days of playing small rooms is all but over, and everyone at the Gothic Theatre last Friday knew this might be the last time to catch this band in such an intimate venue. They may on a meteoric rise to the top of the Bluegrass world, but in the end they are just five friends from Michigan, gathered around a single microphone, playing the music that brought them together.

Halloween might have happened on Thursday, Oct. 31, but it happened again two days later at The Ogden Theatre when The Motet packed the house for a sold-out show that Denver fans come out in droves for every year. While The Motet puts on an annual Halloween rager, this year’s show was focused on the year 1980, and the crowd added to the theme with costumes that shaded the room with every bright color that the 80s represented.

The 20th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival was a wet one, but the heavy downpours followed by strong sunshine yielded some awe inspiring rainbows. It seemed like from Thursday till Monday, the skies were telling us they were in charge, but reminding us to smile about that fact. We were at the whim of the weather. We were not in control. Giving in to the music and the mud, we approached the weekend humbled by both and decided to rage along with the rain as hard as we could.

In a moment instantly reminiscent of high school, sweaty X’ed hands rose above the barrier to the chanting of “Fall – Out – Boy!” Fresh off of a three-year hiatus, Fall Out Boy’s return to music brought a little something for both old fans and new at the Ogden. The band put on a hell of a show for their fans, who ate up every song. A younger fan was even overheard saying: “Wow, I’ve never been moved to tears by a concert before.”

Ahh 4/20 in Colorado, you can smell it in the air! With the recent passing of Amendment 64 Colorado has become a hot spot for all things “4/20 friendly” and this past weekend was a prime example. From the first ever Cannabis Cup hosted on U.S. soil, to Snoop Lion’s performance Friday night, to this amazing line up; Colorado has taken their stance on recreational Marijuana use and the word is out. Last Saturday there was no better place to be than Red Rocks as Slightly Stoopid and Cypress Hill took to the stage to celebrate what appears to be our new state holiday.

Night 2 of String Cheese Incident’s New Year’s run found us in a sea of glow sticks, glitter, and costumes at 1stBank Center. The pageantry and contagious good times nature of the fans radiated through the room. Everywhere we looked was another smiling face – a grinning mob indeed – and that set the mood for a fun evening of music that featured a great selection of classic Cheese favorites like “Little Hands,” “Texas,” and “Rhythm of The Road.”

A diverse crowd packed The Fillmore Auditorium as hip-hop veterans Nas and the seminal Ms. Lauryn Hill rolled into town for a night of classic beats and old school vibes. While Nas has been committed to his collaboration with Damien Marley over the last several years, Hill has been noticeably absent from the world of music recently as she has taken time off to raise her first child. The 1990’s Hip-Hop revival was alive and well in the Fillmore as Thanksgiving 2012 loomed on the horizon.

Moments before jam super-group Dirty Dawgs took the stage on Friday night at the new Quixotes’, we found out from a friend that Ray White (of Frank Zappa fame) was in the house and would be sitting in throughout the night. Ray White sitting in with a super-group composed of Michael Kang, Steve Molitz, Eric Gould, and Brandon Draper in the main room, and The Grant Farm in the bar? It had all the hallmarks of a crazy night and lived up to the billing!
