Scene Stealers

SUPPORT LOCAL MEDIA - DONATE NOW! Arlo Guthrie at Boulder Theater Arguably the most “prodigal” son in all of music, Arlo Guthrie’s unending torch-bearing of the genre his father Woody pretty much launched back in 1940 (Dustbowl Ballads, Victor Records) burns as brightly as ever, even as he wades deep into his 70s. In this appearance, Arlo brings his

Spotlight on Colin Bricker

Casting a weary eye over the music scene in Colorado doesn’t stir up much optimism. Sunken into a COVID-19 crater unlike any collapse ever seen, the music industry remains mired in the quicksand of a 1-2 punch between the advent of subscription music services and then the inability to perform live.
