Drive-By Truckers Come To Boulder Theater
by BWW News Desk - August 01, 2018
Drive-By Truckers have always been outspoken, telling a distinctly American story via craft, character, and concept, all backed by sonic ambition and social conscience. Founded in 1996 by singer/songwriter/guitarists Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood, the band have long held a progressive fire in their belly but with AMERICAN BAND, they have made the most explicitly political album in their extraordinary canon. A powerful and legitimately provocative work, hard edged and finely honed, the album is the sound of a truly American Band - a Southern American band - speaking on matters that matter. DBT made the choice to direct the Way We Live Now head on, employing realism rather than subtext or symbolism to purge its makers' own anger, discontent, and frustration with societal disintegration and the urban/rural divide that has partitioned the country for close to a half-century. Master songwriters both, Hood and Cooley wisely avoid overt polemics to explore such pressing issues as race, income inequality, the NRA, deregulation, police brutality, Islamophobia, and the plague of suicides and opioid abuse. As a result, songs like 'What It Means' and the tub-thumping 'Kinky Hypocrites' are intensely human music from a rock 'n' roll band yearning for community and collective action. Fueled by a just spirit of moral indignation and righteous rage, AMERICAN BAND is protest music fit for the stadiums, designed to raise issues and ire as the nation careens towards its most momentous election in a generation.

Grateful Shred Comes To The Fox Theatre
by BWW News Desk - July 31, 2018
Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. The look, the sound, the atmosphere. It's uncanny. "It's more of a 'take' on the Dead than a tribute band," says bassist Dan Horne. "We end up sounding almost more like the Dead because we approach it in this free-spirited way."
Magic Beans Halloween Celebration Comes To The Fox Theatre
by BWW News Desk - July 31, 2018
The Magic Beans are a band with a passion for music that is as infectious as their songs, both of which have gained them national notoriety in a short time. Much like modern music lovers, the band's sound isn't confined to one-genre. The Beans strive to be as inclusive as possible by skirting the lines between many genres within their unique sound. Listeners are left with a danceable ode to funk, rock, bluegrass, livetronica, americana, world, prog, and more. Music can encompass so many different feels and emotions. That is why the group strives to pull from many unique influences to produce music that moves both your mind and feet.

The Upstart Crow Presents THE LION IN WINTER
by BWW News Desk - July 30, 2018
Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204) ruled one of the wealthiest territories in England, was sought after by Lords and Kings alike, became Queen Consort of both France and England, and is considered one of the most powerful and wealthy women of her era, despite spending 16 years imprisoned by her second husband Henry II, from 1173-1189. Her intelligence, wisdom, wit, and powers of persuasion jump off the history pages and directly into the context of the modern feminist movement. As far as possible from a shrinking violet, Eleanor persevered for 80 years to outlive four kings: two husbands and two sons. THE LION IN WINTER by James Goldman explores the fascinating life of a passionate woman who refused to be a passive prisoner in her own home - both literally and figuratively. THE LION IN WINTER performs at The Dairy Arts Center 2590 Walnut St, Boulder, Colorado. Tickets are on sale now at bit.ly/theupstartcrow or by calling 303.444.7328.
