St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Luckily this holiday falls on a Saturday, which gives us plenty of time to party before, during and after the big day without having to call into work the next morning. With over 60 concerts falling on the unofficial “drink as much beer as possible” holiday, there are plenty of places to catch people not wearing green and drunkenly pinch them throughout the night. Here is a list of all the shows you can catch this weekend and our recommendations for each day.

Recommended: Magic Beans w/ Analog Son, Wabakinoset @ Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom
Kick the weekend off with a lucky start by serenading your ears with The Magic Bean’s jams at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. The night is packed with Colorado natives. The Magic Beans, Analog Son and Wabakinoset are some of the best local acts Colorado has to offer. The super-jam of a night will get your body ready for the big day tomorrow without completely draining your energy for the rest of the weekend. Just hold off on the Bailey’s and Irish whiskey until tomorrow.

Galactic shows are always one huge funky party, and this St. Patrick’s Day event is no exception. The seven-piece ensemble is sure to match the energy of crowd on the big green day. Wear your best boogie shoes and green disco bell bottoms, with The Greyboy Allstars opening for them, the night will be packed with the funkiest beats. If you’re wanting to get the funk down — The Fillmore is the place to be Saturday night.

Recommended: Wes Watkins (Morning Set) @ Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox
The only way to overcome the hangover you’ll be experiencing Sunday morning is to soak it up with some brunch staples and sweet saxophone tunes by local favorite Wes Watkins. This saxophone player for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and bandleader of The Other Black knows just how to sooth that throbbing headache with his sexy and soulful sound.
No tickets required.
