Knuckleball at The Aggie Theatre

There’s no arguing just how completely cratered the live music industry is in Colorado — and the nation, for that matter — amid the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re suffering withdrawal, here’s a rare gem of an opportunity to support a great local act and the venue hosting it at the same time: Knuckleball at The Aggie Theatre on Nov. 27. Their psychedelic-rock-bordering-on-guitar-driven-jazz-fusion sound is at home in the playlists of many Colorado music fans, and this looks to be a pretty low-risk live show, with reserved-table seating and mask requirements for all attendees.

Tables start at $80 for a 4-top. Doors open at 7 pm. For tickets and additional information, head to theaggietheatre.com.
