Since January 2024, the Springs arts community has been staging sold-out performances that speak to the foibles and insanity of our times. These shows make you laugh, think, and remind you that you’re not alone. The best antidote to doomscrolling. SATURDAY, MAY 16 Shakedown Street | 8 PM Over 30 years performing the immense catalog of the Grateful Dead — Americana, folk, blues, jazz, and rock and roll, with a healthy dose of the avant-garde. Tales of murder and intrigue, gamblers and thieves, sinners and saints. Blue-collar rhapsodies in a kaleidoscopic tapestry awash in color, sound, and light. Sold-out audiences across Colorado. A reset for the soul. #LiveMusic #ColoradoSprings #LulusDowntown #ChloeKimes #ShakedownStreet

Greg Schochet & Little America Saturday, May 9 | 8 PM | All Ages Greg Schochet is twenty-plus years into a Colorado performing career as a first-call country and bluegrass picker. Little America is the band he built around that vision — pedal steel and alto sax bringing the country and swing bona fides, upright bass and drums keeping it dancing. Western swing that harkens back to Colorado’s halcyon 1970s era. Bob Wills, Emmylou Harris, and Red Knuckles nods alongside original songs and deep cuts from unexpected sources. The band has played Pagosa Folk ’n Bluegrass Festival, the Dairy Center for the Arts, and the Boulder Theater. Country for sure — but it has to swing more than a little. #LiveMusic #ColoradoSprings #LulusDowntown #GregSchochet #WesternSwing
