Joining forces with Moksha for their Colorado run was Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band) on trumpet, Peter Apfelbaum (The Hieroglyphics Ensemble, Trey Anastasio Band) on sax, and one of my favorite musicians in the world Skerik (Garage A Trois, Dead Kenny G’s) also on the saxophone. This horn section was off the hook from the first note they struck, and the combined big-stage experience from the three guest musicians truly rubbed off on the young jamtronica rockers. Both Skerik and Apfelbaum were on point with each beautiful sax riff and the combined sound of both musicians was harmony to our ears. Hartswick and her trumpet added a unique aspect to the funky Vegas quintet, and Jeremy Parks (Guitar) was especially in tune with trading off solos with the horn players.
For all of you Boulder music fans there are a few things to take from my Moksha experience at Shine. Firstly, Shine is a great place to see a small concert. Their “listening room” is well built, has great sound, and provides their attendees with a harmonious combination of great food/drink as well as a unique place to see a live musical event. It is also centrally located off of Pearl Street in downtown Boulder and is one block from the historic Boulderado Hotel and my favorite music venue, the Boulder Theater. Secondly, Moksha is one of those special jamtronica acts who even though new to the scene is already establishing a strong foothold and place among us music addicts. I highly recommend both Shine and Moksha, as the combination led to an awesome Saturday night in downtown Boulder. Also, Skerik is a beast on the saxophone and one of the more talented musicians you will come across on our scene today. I promise, you will not be disappointed with any of these…trust me!
