Show Summary #194 – Gary Clark Jr. with Allen Stone at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on 05/13/23 – Show Review and Photos – Gary Clark Jr. swaggered out of the darkness dressed in an ensemble adorned with painted faces, a stocking cap, and sunglasses. A few songs into the setlist, the band performed The Healing – “I got something in motion/Something you can’t see/It requires devotion/From those who truly believe/This is something you can’t touch/This is something you feel, yeah/For some people it’s too much/For some people it heals/This music is my healing.” Throughout the night, his music touched everyone listening and seemed to keep the weather at bay.

Sierra Ferrell with The Cactus Blossoms at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO on 04/23/23

Show Summary #192 – Sierra Ferrell with The Cactus Blossoms at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO on 04/23/23 – Pictures and Show Review – Strolling up to the Ogden Theatre, I noticed a woman walking out of a tour bus. She was wearing a Sierra Ferrell t-shirt. Before I determined that it was actually Sierra Ferrell, the singer was already inside the venue (she missed out on an exciting opportunity to take a selfie with me). I waited in line for the doors to open near the infamous East Colfax Avenue passing time watching drug deals across the street. The uncomfortable wait was worth it, I found a prime spot to witness Ferrell step on stage transformed into a fancy dress, sparkly makeup, and hair adorned with flowers.
