The String Cheese Incident concluded their three-night Red Rocks run last night, an extended stay at one of the greatest venues on the planet. Over the six sets played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the band dug deep to bring back oft-ignored classics, debuted covers, played new joints from their SCI Sound Lab project, and provided a wash of positivity over the concert-goers. Night One The lot filled up relatively early as anxious ticket-holders jump-started the weekend’s fu

This week I had a chance to chat with Dustin and Dylan of Vine Street Vibes (VSV) to discuss their upcoming LP release Nebula. The Denver based group has been steadily gaining momentum with a growing fan base and the idea of making their shows into a more memorable event for their fans. They wan their shows to be something special, something more then just a normal show, but instead a spectacle that leaves the crowd longing for more. Dylan Buddeke – Bass Dustin Cross – Drums

Last week I had a chance to talk with Roland Hansen of Greener Grounds. With an upcoming opening slot for Perpetual Groove around the corner, along with a steadily growing fan base in Colorado’s front range area, Greener Grounds are slowly becoming the local favorite of Denver’s electronica scene! Here’s our conversation on Greener Grounds, Denver’s music scene, and what the future holds for this promising group. ____________________ DubEra: Tell me a little bit about how the

Colorado producer Vibe Street just released his new EP “She Makes Me Feel.” Vibe Street is helping pave the way for a new sound that’s flourishing through Denver’s producer scene: a smooth electro/hip-hop sound that keeps your head bumping. Using soulful lyric samples and funk guitar lines, Ben Davis is bringing his own style into the scene that would please the ears of any listener. Davis manages to create a new sound inside of a familiar genre. Though he would fall under th

This Saturday, Denver producer Vibe Street will play at Bar Red for the Ruby Generations fundraiser.

The dudes in Exmag just released a killer recap video of their summer trip to Red Rocks where they played alongside Gramatik and Lettuce. The video was filmed and edited by Brooklyn-based Dan LaDue, a great friend, a DubEra contributor and a rising NYC videographer. Exmag also recently announced a November 28th show at New York City’s Webster Hall alongside Keys ‘n’ Krates. The event will be a display of two fine live/electronic hybrids, and I can’t wait to see what happens w

Love, it seems like a lot of bands push that emotion out into their crowd. Many time that emotion can be taken as half hearted, but when you are in the presence of the funky soulfulness of The Nth Power you can’t help but feel an overwhelming emotional connection between the musicians and the audience. Last month, The Nth Power kicked off their Fall in Love Tour at Cervantes ‘The Other Side’ in Denver, CO. The Nth Power is a 5 piece group made up of Nikki Glaspie on drums/voc

Yonder Mountain String Band has announced they will play four nights at the Boulder Theater to ring in the new year.

Tomorrow night Lotus will be taking over Red Rocks Amphitheatre, playing their “Talking Heads Deconstructed” set for the second time since Gathering of the Vibes. The set, for those who didn’t see the set list, was a combination of some of our favorite Lotus tracks like “Spiritualize” along with Talking Heads songs like “The Great Curve,” “Crosseyed and Painless,” and “This Must be the Place.” This highly anticipated Lotus set at our nations finest outdoor venue is surely goi

Last week Hartford, CT based group the “McLovins” made their way through the Rocky Mountain State with multiple shows. I was lucky enough to catch their show opening for Mountain Standard Time at Cervantes “The Other Side” as part of Grass for that Ass Thursdays. This was my first time actually seeing the group, other than a video of them playing Phish’s “You Enjoy Myself” on YouTube, and I was completely blown away. The group of surprisingly young talented musicians managed

Last month The Heavy Pets left their Florida home to come and play at the 4th annual LoHi Music Festival in Denver, CO. After their set, I had the pleasure of sitting down for a conversation with guitarist Jeff Lloyd. Growing up in South Florida, I was lucky enough to see The Heavy Pets many times at all of my favorite childhood venues. Nothing is more inspiring to me then seeing what was a local band in South Florida turn into a group I’m always hearing on JamOn XM. I figure

On May 30th and 31st bluegrass group Fruition took over Cervantes’ Other Side in Denver for what turned into two very special nights of music. The Oregon based quintet supplied fans with 6 sets of music across 2 days. Of those sets, 2 were apart of a very special day time patio set where fans were treated to tunes and food as a pre-party for night 2. One way they made it extra special was by continually bringing up friends to play with them each of the nights. Some of those f

This year was Colorado’s first year in celebrating a legal 4/20 holiday weekend. Though many events scattered the city of Denver, one stood out among the group. Daze on the Green located at Sculpture Park, which features two 50-foot tall sculptures of dancers, supplied fans with top of the line musical acts, some of the best food trucks in Denver, and an comfortable atmosphere for all. Other then the “Dancers” sculpture the park is based around, Sculpture Park was a beautiful

Yonder Mountain String Band is all about family, and through the support of our family of fans, we have been able to play music for you for the past 15 years. We couldn’t be more proud about our successes and experiences performing at the best venues and festivals in the country, and for the most dedicated fans any band could ever wish to have.

My favorite band, the String Cheese Incident, has not released an album in nearly nine years. The band that is best known for their live performances is going to change all of that come April 29th 2014, with Song in my Head. The group just released an extensive trailer, with interviews and insight in to the recording process and studio quality teasers of SCI favorites. Check it out below and get very excited! #2014 #sci #delmccoury #tinyuniverse #band #stringcheeseincident #n

Yonder Mountain String Band @ Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, FL (Via @YonderMountain Instagram) It’s been a strange tour for the Yonder Mountain String Band. Most obviously, they are missing their fearless leader as Jeff Austin stays at home for the first moments of his new baby daughter’s life. Ronnie McCoury and Jason Carter begin the tour with a bang, Del McCoury and Andy Falco (of Infamous Stringdusters) are sitting in, setlists are killing it and then the band gets st
