Arcade Fire brought the "Infinite Content Tour" to the Pepsi Center this past Wednesday. The night opened with Colombian band Bomba Estero who brought tropical electric vibes to the stage. Afterwards, Arcade Fire entered the Pepsi Center in a very unique way — the centered staged was set like a boxing ring with ropes on all four corners and instruments inside the ring. The band members entered the ring from the floor level, walking through the crowd as an announcer introduced Arcade Fire like a heavyweight champion of music. The group opened with the title track of their Everything Now album and immediately the crowd began to dance as the disco balls dropped. Photography by Meg O’Neill ( @letgomymego )

10/18/2017 - Radical Face @ Bluebird Theater - Denver, CO

"All my songs are really sad, so if you were looking to have a fun night... too bad, you're already here." Denver's first Radical Face show was everything the faithful fans could have wanted. Sets of unique songs with quirky, tragic, yet comical stories in between. Starting the night off with their one and only happy song the band finishing up with their most recognizable "Welcome Home, Son". The packed crowd at Bluebird seemed to love every moment and know every word. @papabirdphoto

10/16/2017 - Red Hot Chili Peppers @ The Pepsi Center - Denver, CO

After having to postpone their original Denver show date, the Red Hot Chili Peppers returned to Denver without missing a beat. The best bass player in the entire world (in my humble opinion), Flea entered the Pepsi Center stage at the start of the show to announce the opener and childhood friend Jack Irons who killed it on drums. Afterwards, Trombone Shorty got the party bumping with their fun big New Orleans jazzy band. Both openers were the stuff of legends and fans were thoroughly amped for their favorite band to play. The RHCP started with some classic shredding on the bass, guitar and drums before lead singer Anthony Kiedis came on stage to sing to, or maybe rather with, the crowd.  The night was a wonderful celebration for both Flea's birthday and for the love of music. The talent of this musical group could be seen and heard throughout the whole Pepsi Center. I was simply in awe of finally getting to photograph one of my most favorite groups.

10/04/2017 - Allan Rayman @ The Globe Hall - Denver, CO

I couldn't have picked a better venue to see my favorite artist of all time, Allan Rayman, than The Globe Hall. The quirky music venue/BBQ restaurant had all the backwoods subtleties of something you might find in a music video from Rayman's  first album Hotel Allan. The opener consisted of a three piece mariachi band that was confusing, yet delightfully enjoyable for a San Antonio native. My excitement began to build as the venue begin to crowd and Allan came on stage. His bad boy James Dean mystic mixed with his incomparable raspy  vocals lived up to all of my expectations. Even in the way he flailed his body around on stage was almost as if the music was completely taking over just exploding at the seems to come out of him. All my dreams came true when after the performance Allan Rayman stuck around and I was able to express my gratitude for a true artist who got me REALLY listening to music.

10/02/2017 - Kings of Leon @ Red Rocks Amphitheater - Morrison, CO

Kings of Leon took to the drizzling Red Rocks stage after a few hours of downpour soaked anxious fans.

Kings of Leon took the stage with current radio single "Conversation Piece." Photography by Kyle Cooper.

9/27/17 - Fleet Foxes & Beach House @ Red Rocks - Morrison, CO

Shrouded in silhouette, Beach House set the stage for a mystical and complex night of musical feat. The vulnerability and simplicity of Beach House perfectly accompanied the dense sound of Crack-Up, Fleet Foxes' first album in nearly six years and the first few songs of their set. As the rain continued sprinkling upon the rocks, fans continued on their musical journey alongside Fleet Foxes.   All photography by Alden Bonecutter @alden.co

09/22/2017 - Kaleo Night 1 @ Paramount Theater - Denver, CO

Kaleo had everyone in the crowd swooning this past Friday at their first of two nights performance at the Paramount. The band rocked out hard leaving very few people in their seats throughout the whole show. From the giant map of Iceland as their backdrop, to the small ones around stage, the band proudly represented and honored their home country. Despite their set  only lasting an hour, fans left on a high excited note looking forward to more new music and to night two! Photography by Meg O'Neill ( @letgomymego ).

09/20/2017 - San Fermin @ Bluebird - Denver, CO

09/19/2017 - Ben Folds @ Ogden Theatre - Denver, CO

"Everyone do us a favor. Take out your smartphones, call the person next to you and put them on speaker. Then put the phones together, ying and yang or 69 style." The cellist of Tall Heights told the crowd, "Make music with us." The packed Ogden theatre felt like a small intimate venue while Tall Heights played and it stayed that way once Ben Folds took the stage. With his piano set center stage, Ben drew the crowd in with familiar fan favorites and comical anecdotes. Before intermission, he deligated to the audience to collect a paper from his table in the back and write down songs they would like him to play when he returned to the stage.  But before he left to take a short break he gave everyone one more song and surprised everyone with live assembly and jam on a drum set that had been stashed around the stage. Before he returned a man dressed in an elf costume holding two red flashing lights commanded the crowd to fold their papers into airplanes and throw them to the stage on the count of 10. At one well over one hundred paper airplanes soared through the air landing on the stage. Ben returned to the stage and began picking the pieces of paper up 1 by 1 and began playing the first 10 songs he saw on the pages. It was a memorable show filled with new music as well as old favorites that got the crowd cheering. @papabirdphoto

09/15/2017 - Banks @ The Ogden - Denver, CO

Banks mysteriously dark allure dominated the sound waves of The Ogden Friday night. The theater became dark and ominous as we waited for Banks. She entered the staged draped in black mesh cloth with two dancers, keeping the vibes real spooky. Throughout the night Banks not only displayed her broad range in vocals, but impressed the crowd with accompanying top notch dance moves. Banks showed Denver a killer performance.  Photography by Meg O'Neill ( @letgomymego ).

9/11/17 - Geographer @ Globe Hall - Denver, CO

Hometown heroes CRL CRRLL and Foxxes warmed up the small Globe Hall stage before Geographer. CRL CRRLL complimented his dance beats with a live drummer and vocals, and Foxxes set the mood with indie psych-rock that got the crowd grooving. As the venue finally began filling up Geographer took the stage and had his fans dancing, singing and crooning well into the night.

09/09/17 - STS9 @ Red Rocks - Morrison, CO

Friday's tour of  STS9's "Artifact" album had tribe fans primed and ready for a Saturday dance party, the band's second of three nights at Red Rocks. The band played and paid "Rent" for their extended stay in Morrison, finishing the first set with a rowdy "Arigato". "Hidden Hand, Hidden Fist" sure packed a nice punch in the middle of the improv and modular jam heavy second set. The band will be back on Sunday featuring a special acoustic set to kick things off.

09/09/2017 - Seu Jorge @ Ogden Theatre - Denver, CO

For fans of the film The Life Aquatic this show was a surreal night. Seu Jorge who played Pele the quiet Brazilian safety expert who primarily played his guitar and sang David Bowie songs in Portuguese became a cult favorite. Now with the loss of both Bowie and his father this last year Jorge has decided to don the Zizzou red cap again and tour the country. It was a quaint show with Jorge sitting in a wooden chair sipping tea but the energy and excitement of the crowd were electric. @papabirdphoto

Too Many Zooz the street performing duo out of New York City gave Denver a taste of their unique sound and style.

Griz gave a set with a wide variety of deep dubstep mixes, funky dancing saxophone notes, and a bit of chill psychedelic vibes.

8/31/2017- Joe Russo's Almost Dead @ Red Rocks Amphitheater- Morrison, CO

Joe Russo's Almost Dead ft. Oteil Burbridge (warning: opinion being inserted) is the best version of any Grateful Dead project. Period. The energy Joe can create from behind the kit is truly unmatched. The band was firing on all cylinders last night as they made up for a "snowed out" which was supposed to take place earlier this year. Another great summer night on the rocks.

8/24-8/26/2017 - High Plains Comedy Festival 2017 @ South Broadway and Paramount Theatre - Denver, CO

From local comedians to big names in Hollywood, the fifth annual festival had it all and then some with audience members’ laughs ranging from deep chuckles to hearty guffaws. There were definite “what-the-fuck-did-I-just-watch” moments to “I-can’t-believe-he-just-got-away-with-that-joke” gasps, but all in all, the Mile High City proved to be 100 percent accepting of the wild, the absurd and the hilarious.

08/26/2017 - The Lumineer's Night Two with Andrew Bird @ Fiddler's Green - Englewood, CO

The Lumineer's were overwhelmed by the Colorado love the fans showed Saturday night. Despite filling up their biggest venue to date, the intimacy of the show was strongly felt. The quirky musical genius of Andrew Bird opened the night, showing his array of talent in ways such as playing his violin like a ukulele. Afterwords, the simple stage was transformed by giant chandeliers and projection screens displaying a gorgeous backdrop for the beautiful songs from The Lumineer's. At one point in the show the group disappeared from the main stage, only to reappear moment's later on a smaller stage at the way back by the lawn seats. The Lumineer's definitely showed their loved back to  the whole crowd that night. Photography by Meg O'Neill ( @letgomymego ).

08/25/2017 - Depeche Mode @ Pepsi Center - Denver, CO

California all girl band Warpaint may have been the opener but they wowed the crowd that filled the Pepsi Center to see Depeche Mode.  Depeche Mode is an English band who was formed in 1980 so they know how to work a crowd and tonight wasn't anything different.  Front man Dave Gahan was working the stage and making sure the crowd knew that he can still work that booty.  Photos by Candace Peterson

8/22/17 - Khalid @ The Fillmore - Denver, CO

Topping charts and riding the wave of his debut album "American Teen", Khalid is becoming an R&B/pop force to be reckoned with. Complete with live musicians, cheerleaders and fans screaming every word, it's safe to say Khalid knows how to put on a proper show despite this being his first time on the road. With a two-night double venue stop in Denver fans didn't have to worry about missing out on this one.   All photography by Alden Bonecutter @alden.co

Gov't Mule and Yonder Mountain String Band teamed up for a night of soulful strings and bluesy bust outs with the help of 21-year old Marcus King of the Marcus King Band. Rarely do I make in into Red Rocks by 5:30 to see the first opener on the bill, but if you know anything about Marcus King you were inside waiting patiently for the phenom to start the show. Haynes joined Yonder Mountain String Band for part of their set, pausing on traditional bluegrass to play some bluesy tracks. The full band of Gov't Mule busted out some ABB covers on their own, bringing Marcus King back on for a fiery "Whipping Post".

08/15/17 - Young the Giant with Cold War Kids and Joywave - Morrison, CO

Young the Giant left a musical footprint (larger than Andre and Hagrid combined) in Colorado's famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. The band crushed their headlining set bringing an insane amount of energy with (in my opinion) an acknowledgement of what is going on in our current "Amerika", a hit from their most recent album ironically titled "Home of the Strange". Cold War Kids were a big part of my "musical discovery" and really turned up heat as the second band on the bill. Joywave sent just that through the crowd while the sun was still shining over the Denver skyline.

08/12/2017 - Pretty Lights Night 2 @ Red Rocks - Morrison, CO

Pretty Lights played another mind blowing show at Red Rock's this past weekend. Opening for PL on night two was G. Jones and Daily Bread bringing the good vibes. However, Pretty Light's along with his killer band mates and production team really shown that night. While the crowd danced, it was as though their bodies were looking for the notes as Pretty Lights played they. Not to mention the feeling of being completely entranced in the laser show by LazerShark! The Colorado love shown bright that night, as a red half moon rose over the Red Rocks stage and fans danced the night away. Photographs by Meg O'Neill ( @letgomymego ).

08/11/2017 - Triple A Conference Night Three @ Fox Theater - Boulder, CO

Portugal. The Man brought the trippy psychedelic vibes to the last night of the Triple A Conference in Boulder this past weekend. But before they even hit the stage, my mind was blown away by the range of talent that opened at both the Fox Theater and at a stage set up at the bottom of the Hill. The small outdoor stage introduced Boulder to the nostalgic folk sounds of Marlon Williams and the rocking jams of Colony House. Meanwhile over at the Fox, The Shelters kicked the 80's greaser vibes into high gear, followed by LP's insane tonal range somewhat reminiscent of Stevie Nicks. Every performance had it's own unique twist, leaving everyone in the audience feeling satisfied. Photographs by Meg O'Neill ( @letgomymego ).

The brains behind the vision. Wether you vibe to it or not, he's still a pioneer in the scene. Freestyle Sessions at the 1stBank Center brought me back to the early days of first getting into electronic music. It was three nights of emotion, chaos, harmony and love combined. After being sidelined from both Red Rocks and Dick's Sporting Good Park the last couple of years, the 1stBank Center brought back that underground vibe that electronic music has missed for a while. This was more about the music and not the big charade that goes on at festivals and so forth. Here is a recap of Sunday night through my lens. Shout out to all the people I connected with along the way. #Wildstyle Photos by: Sina Ghozati - @mr.svndmvn

"Just to clear up any confusion. Yes, we are also in the other band that is playing tonight. Good, I'm glad we got that cleared up." - Erik Koskinen of the Erik Koskinen Dou and Dead Man Winter. Last nights show was full of funny tidbits like this one. Erik being from Colorado had many friends in the crowd which gave him and the rest of the band plenty of opportunities for jokes and light hearted banter. While opening the show Erik brought on the rest of Dead Man Winter as guests to help play his songs and finished his set by saying, "We've got one more song for you and then the headliner will be out." The headliner, which was the same guys that were just on stage, proceeded to play plenty of old and new songs while taking shots with the crowd and even covering a song from the band Trampled By Turtles, which two of the members of Dead Man Winter are also members of. They covered themselves. Summing up the show with a 3 song encore David Simonett gave us one more great qoute, "Just one more song and we'll let you go home." Photos by: Kenneth Coles @knnthclsphoto

4/1/17 - THEY @ The Larimer Lounge - Denver, CO

LA/Denver based hip-hop group sold out the Larimer Lounge on Saturday night. The small cramped venue created the perfect atmosphere for THEY's unique production and rap style. Their incredibly loyal fanbase was jumping and screaming the lyrics the whole time. As the last song and arguably their most popular U-RITE came on they invited all of their friends and family on stage and treated the crowd to a wild, water soaked finale, and then ran the song a second time and did it all over again.

Finally Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls brought the Positive Songs for Negative People we all needed to hear in our current tumultuous political climate, at one point splitting the crowd in half and creating a wall of hugs. This show will definitely be one those in attendance will be talking about for a long time.

"Our album is 20 years old, their album is 20 years old. So when Reel Big Fish calls you and asks if you still remember how to play that 1 ska song of yours and if you want to go on tour with them you say... YES!" Chris Number2. A mix of anarchist punk and bouncing ska this show was a blast of nostalgia for the old school Punks of Denver. Direct Hit and Ballyhoo set the stage and the mood for the show. Anti-Flag kicked it into high gear with "Die For Your Government" and ending their set by playing in the heart of the mosh pit. Reel Big Fish followed it up with their usual comedic/ devil may care style. It was a punk show for those true punks. Photos by: Kenneth Coles
