Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom Denver, CO Words & Photos By Brad Yeakel ( OptiMystic Outlooks ) I arrived at Welton Street via light rail and was anxious to reach Cervantes. The Recovery Act was in the middle of a lively funk-soul set. The band laid crunchy foundations as Lindsay French belted out vocals. I'd seen them before, but playing in the big room seemed to inject new energy. Their closing number, a cover of an obscure song, Space Capone's "I Just Want to Dance," was among the most well received songs of the whole night. Fox Street All Stars were next on the bill, and brought their signature sound to the stage. Somewhere between the Allman Brothers and the E-street Band, their songwriting was as strong as their chops. Front man "Skippy" Hubbard was surrounded by strong players, my favorite of which was guitarist James Dumm. His solos ranged from psychedelic to aggressive, always adding to the whole. By the time the band closed their set wi

String Cheese Incident: Song in My Head

Image
Words By Brad Yeakel ( Opti Mystic Outlooks ) String Cheese Incident recently released their first record in almost a decade. With an evolving sound, a hiatus, multiple side projects, and distractions ranging from interests to family, the sound on the album was surprisingly familiar. Much of the record was on par with their best efforts to date. I should know, the band's Boulder street party to release the album was the 99th time I'd seen the band. Colorado Bluebird Sky has been a fan favorite since SCI returned to the game. The tune seemed to connect with the String Cheese of old, revitalizing the sound that originally hooked so many fans. With lyrics that celebrate the idea of packing up and moving west, the song seemed to almost remind the band of how this whole journey started. While I felt it was a great opener to the album, I expected it to be the closer, and was reminded that this was an album, not a show... a point that was not readily apparent given Kyle and Kan

The String Cheese Incident on The Hill 4.28.14

Outside of The Fox Theatre Boulder, CO Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Audio By Peter Coffan The String Cheese Incident has a deep, and at times, profound connection with their fan base. In light of the fact that SCI would not be performing at Red Rocks this summer they choose instead to throw a ‘Free Incident’ on the Hill in Boulder. Harking back to the days of yore when things were a little simpler and the world of jam had not yet reached it’s full potential. Bands like SCI would set up on the corners or in the cafés of Boulder before eventually evolving to the more elaborate productions we see from them today. This was a chance for Cheese and Cheese fans alike to experience that free show on campus or outside of the bar that we may never have had the opportunity to witness. Don Strasburg transported us back to that time with his introduction before the band filtered out at 5:45 PM. Let me set the scene for you. The stage is positioned direc

Aggie Theatre Fort Collins, CO Words, Photos & Video By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Leftover Salmon warmed up for their massive 4.20 Street Show at Cervantes with two nights at the Aggie Theater. A spring stop in Fort Collins is becoming a bit of a tradition with LoS. The Aggie announced earlier in the week that both shows would be 21+, meaning two things: A lot of younger fans were shut out and there wasn't an awkward fence line in the middle of the venue. Friday night featured lots of room while Saturday was borderline sold out. Gipsy Moon started off the festivities at the ungodly hour of 8:00 PM. We arrived just as they were wrapping up their set. This band is a ball of magic, focused on making a sincere connection with their audience. Mackenzie Page is mesmerizing while the combination of Silas Herman on mandolin and David Matters on guitar creates a powerful foundation for this astounding band. Leftover Salmon treated us to two sets both night
