We might be approaching mid-September, but it’s still summer as far as the weather is concerned, and our list of shows is similarly hot! Here are some highlights:
Boiler Room baron Fred again… has come to town for two straight nights at the Ball Arena on 9/11 and 9/12, heralding his first-ever time in Colorado as part of his “places we’ve never been” tour. Known for his incredible songwriting with dozens of artists, as well as his singular approach to his own production and music, you’ll need your best dancing shoes to keep up!
Some of the finest bluegrass players on the scene today, Greensky Bluegrass, return to Red Rocks for their annual run, which takes place on 9/13 and 9/14. They’ll have the California Honeydrops opening up the evening on 9/13 and Denver’s own king of the party, Andy Frasco, opening up the night on 9/14! (And if that’s not enough Honeydrops for you, catch their warm-up set headlining the Gothic Theater on 9/12, too.)
British instrumental hip-hop shredders O.M.A. are finishing up their first ever US tour at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. Having run the length and breadth of the country prior, prepare to hear some of hip-hop’s most classic tunes performed live like you’ve never heard them before. MC SHING02 will be providing verses, and Spin Master A-1 will be spinning before and between each set all night.
