Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot!

Sure, the album itself is three years old, but that just means that Setzer’s given everyone a chance to hear it before he struck out on the road, stopping in at Hudson Gardens in Littleton on June 10. We’re unapologetic Setzer fans, so we took the opportunity to have a quick chat with him about his Rockabilly Riot!

Duly Noted: It Takes A Wolf

A few weeks ago, hot takes flamed the internet following the White House Correspondents Dinner. There were two pretty clear camps: Those who cheered comedian Michelle Wolf (best known for her frequent appearances as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) for her blistering volley of truth bombs at the Trump Administration sideshow, and those who demonized her for the

Scene Stealers: Peter Pan, Paula Poundstone, And Other Great Entertainment

Duly Noted: Pre-Crime

Philip K. Dick wrote The Minority Report back in 1956. Forty-six years later, Steven Spielberg turned it into a gorgeous film chronicling a dystopian futurescape where cops arrest would-be criminals before they can commit a crime, based on the psychic testimonies of three “pre-cog” mutants who can see into the future. Little did Dick know in 1956 that his treatise could serve as a potential

Scene Stealers April 2018: Ozomatli, Man Of La Mancha, and more

Ozomatli at Fox Theatre While Carlos Santana’s accolades are too numerous to count, one that does stand out is his choice of supporting act for his Supernatural mega-tour in 1999. That act was a little-known L.A.-bred latin-hip-hop sextet called Ozomatli, who had only just released their eponymous debut album the year before. Fast forward 20 years, eight studio albums and two Grammy awards

Rationing Generosity

“I was at the grocery store and I saw this woman drive into the lot in an Escalade,” said Jim*. “Later, I saw her checking out, and she had lobster in her cart and she was paying with food stamps! THAT’S how I know the system is screwed up and everyone’s taking advantage of it. I saw it with my own two eyes!” I wish I could say this sentiment was unique, but in this era where

Spotlight on Jessica Jones

Marvel may have the super hero, but the real life hometown hero is far more impressive. Trust me on this one. After weeks of trying, I caught up with the hardest-working woman in Colorado’s music scene on a snowy Tuesday night. Over tacos and wine we dove into her origin story, where I learned that not only is the Centennial State’s most prolific songstress busier than I even realized, she
