On Tuesday, June 16, Molly Tuttle joined Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on stage for two songs during their encore including an impressive cover of The Weight. However, during Molly's own performance, unfortunately power and sound became an issue, cutting the set a bit short.

This past weekend, Greeley Blues Jam returned for it's 22nd year in Greeley, CO at Island Grove State Park. Despite brutally hot weather Saturday afternoon (98 degrees F!), it did end up cooling down with some cloud coverage and wind. The Danielle Nicole Band performed an impressive set before headliner Robert Randolph, showing everyone that she was by far the best performer at this year's Blues Jam.
Molly Tuttle musician and fiddler Bronwyn Keith Hynes returned to the Lariat this past Friday night in beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado. This was our sixth time reviewing her this year, and she always stands out. Bronwyn's young band is also excellent, and they played a good handful of tunes from every musician's catalog. However, we would have liked to heard more Bronwyn's songs, but she did play our favorite 'Can't Live Without Love'. She does a superb version of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain live, which is just as good as Molly's White Rabbit. The sound is also always excellent at The Lariat, but the lighting not so much.
Outside Days before the crowd enters the festival on Day 2, Saturday, May 30, 2026
This past weekend, Denver's Outside Days returned for it's annual May dates in Denver, but this time, the festival was in a new venue. This year, the festival ascended upon Denver's Auraria Campus, which is under reconstruction at the time. While it wasn't perfect, it was a successful event that drew close to 30,000 attendees every day.
This year, the 6th annual Tico Time Bluegrass Festival got underway near Durango, Co for a 3 day festival May 15-17.

Although we haven't been to this festival yet, we've heard great things about Tico Time Bluegrass Festival. This festival is nearly two weekends away near beautiful Durango, CO, so we'd thought we'd break down the line up and who to highlight you can't miss to see if your going to this year's festival.

This past weekend, British rockers The Heavy Heavy jammed out to a near sold out crowd at The Lariat in Buena, Vista, CO. There was well over a hundred people in the audience making this one of the more crowded events we've been to the small bar, restaurant and music venue known as The Lariat.
