Joined by Nederland’s own Great American Taxi (who also opened the show), Todd Snider returned to the Boulder Theater stage with songs from his two latest records, The Excitement Plan and Peace Queer.
What’s better than an Old 97’s show? That’s right, A Very Special Evening with the Old 97’s. Instead of one band set, both Rhett Miller and Murry Hammond serve as opening acts, each playing solo mini-sets.
Murry took the first slot, Rhett (who is promoting his latest solo record, Rhett Miller) the second and then finally the whole band played the main show.
Todd Snider’s show is one part music and one part pure comedy.
Touring in support of his latest record with help from Vince Herman (of Leftover Salmon and Great American Taxi), Ben Kaufmann and Jeff Austin (both from Yonder Mountain String Band) he hit the stage at the Boulder Theater for a two-hour set.
Opening for Todd Snider, Keith Sykes played the Boulder Theater Friday night.
Having written songs recorded by John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark and dozens of others his music is familiar even to those who have never heard his name.
Though the temperature outside was nearly freezing, inside the Boulder Theater Old Crow Medicine Show kept the audience toasty with their foot-stomping music.
Promoting their latest album, Tennessee Pusher to the sold-out crowd, the band started their first set with the promise from Willie Watson of “a great evening of music.”
One part singer-songwriter and one part honky-tonk mixed together create the sound exclusive to Robert Earl Keen.
His show is everything you’d expect after listening to Todd Snider’s accounts in “Beer Run” and everything you didn’t expect after pondering khaki pants.
With the local Unknown Americans as an opener (check them out), REK managed to pack the Boulder Theater.
Playing the second night in the Colorado portion of his tour, James McMurtry played the Boulder Theater to a Sunday night crowd of seemingly more dedicated fans.
They danced when appropriate, mouthed lyrics and applauded wildly after solos. For someone who gets minimal airplay in the area, he’s got quite a group of converts.
Local Ft. Collins band, Motor Home opened and James and band took the stage a little after nine.
The second night of a two-night stand at the lovely Boulder Theater found approximately 800 Patty Griffin fans ignoring the dreary weather outside, captivated by a striking variety of styles and sounds.
Terremoto opened, bringing the crowd to their feet dancing towards the end of their set. Michael and Luis were both hanging out in the lobby afterward, signing CDs, talking to fans, hanging out.
