Good Gravy – Good Gravy
Good Gravy’s self-titled first release has a little something to please any breed of hippie, Kentucky bootlegger, or drunken wanderer. The album rambles between bluegrass, jam, electronica, and world musics like a hillbilly Phish fan at a Zambian nightclub.
Dueling mandolin and guitar solos carry the songs from a foot-stomping rumpus to chemical dance beats and [...]
Scene Chats with Head for the Hills About Upcoming Show

Elephant Revival this Thursday @ the Aggie
Ah, Nederland. For those of you not familiar with this high country mountain town right up the canyon from Boulder (elevation: 8,233 feet, population: 1,394), it’s always worth checking out, especially for its impressive folk and bluegrass music scene. After all, Vince Herman (of Leftover Salmon and Great American Taxi) calls [...]

In All Night Drive, the band explores many musical genres such as country, funk and rock – but the [...]
Sustainable Living Fair 2010 – Permaculture at its finest
This year, the theme of the Sustainable Living Fair (returning to Fort Collins September 18-19) is permaculture. If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s formally defined as “any system of sustainable agriculture that renews natural resources and enriches local ecosystems,” or more simply, “sustainable land-use design.”
Ok, it makes sense on a large scale, but [...]
Lonesome Traveler at Bar SS
Lonesome Traveler, Wednesday, August 11, Bar SS, free
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – there’s something about the dobro that makes a good bluegrass show great. It’s surprising that this six-piece group isn’t more well-known around town, and if you haven’t already, you can catch them every month at Bar SS (and [...]
