The Greeley Stampede Returns with Live Music and Great Rodeo
It started in the late 1800s as a humble celebration for the Greeley community to honor its local potato farmers. And more than a century later, it has evolved into the “World’s Largest Fourth of July Rodeo and Western Celebration,” which is estimated to attract about 450,000 patrons each summer.
“The Greeley Stampede is a great [...]

Girl and 4-H Royalty, Saturday June 19, Road 34, $5
This CD release party features the solo debut of Ben Prytherch. Locally known as the bass player for local favorite Motorhome, Prytherch is leaping out on his own and writing music that is creative and quirky, and it fits his personality like a glove. It’s hilariously witty [...]
Around Town Previews – June 4th
The Three Twins and Broadband, Friday, June 4, Avo’s
Call for info
The retro folk/country Three Twins are kind of like a living National treasure, an offshoot of the fabulous Subdudes, with the same Steve Amedee tambourine beat standing in for drums. (Amedee fun fact: though he doesn’t play a melodic instrument, he has perfect pitch.) John [...]
Sam!! Well, Hell… – It’s a long story, so it goes…
If you’ve ever run through a dust cloud with your mouth open, you already know many of the qualities that Sam!! Well, Hell… has as a band. Gritty and haunting, these angst-ridden songs of lost love and manslaughter will grind between your teeth for days after hearing them.

If you know me at all, even a little, you already know that there is ONE thing I really love. And love doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s more like an obsession. It’s happiness. It’s euphoria.

Great American Taxi – Reckless Habits
Great American Taxi’s new album will make you want to be a ramblin’ man, traveling the country with nothing but a guitar and a good singin’ voice.
Led by former Leftover Salmon frontman Vince Herman, Great American Taxi represents a coming together of many well-known names in Northern Colorado’s Americana, bluegrass, and country-influenced music. As a [...]
Clint Clymer and the Outlaw Gypsies – Still Alive
Clint Clymer and the Outlaw Gypsies’ live release Still Alive rocks from beginning to end, and for a live recording the quality is excellent. Frontman Clint has an honest country twang that manages not to wear on my nerves like most country vocals do. These boys are way more blues-rock oriented than straight up country.
The [...]
The Reinvention of Motorhome
Take what you know about this band and throw half of it out the window. Sticking to their original musical roots yet at the same time stretching their boundaries, Motorhome has developed a whole new sound that is coming from a different place than before. “We have a much more dynamic sound…more quiet parts,” [...]
