Square State Music

Monday night was the @dylanovus Deja Vu Music Video Release Party Extravaganza at @bar404broadway ! Dylan has a way of surrounding himself with beautiful, awesome people who sparkle both literally and figuratively. @hanasaramusic , @bae.wav and @my.stroe brought support musicality and a friends which was really nice to see and hear! Congrats on the release! P.S. If you're in a group that wants to go out to a bar but can't decide if you want to go to the live music bar or the sports bar or the bar with trivia, i recommend Bar 404 which was the Live Music Sports and Trivia Bar on Monday night! 🎤🏒🗒 P.P.S. The answer was Sonic The Hedgehog. P.P.P.S. I'll be back at Bar 404 again this Monday for the @indie1023 Local 303 Meetup featuring @pinkrangerband . Come with! It'll be fun!

About last night... So many great Denver punk rawk folk were at the Marquis! 1. I always know I'm around good people when @punkrocksaveslives is at the show. 2. Hostile Effect started the show with more energy than I ever remember having at any time in my life. 3. Jeremiah was right. I loved @thekilligans ! 4. Finally got to see @burymia ! I've been wanting to see them for a while. 5. You know you're doing things right when not one, but 2 local punk rawk champions (@otcjon and @heynowdana ) introduce your band. 6. @thefrickashinas doing what they do best! 7. The show ended with a good old fashioned stage mobbing singalong. I also got to meet @victor_luis_valdez and @fith_productions (Following concert photographers is one of the funnest ways to find new bands) and @momma_scraps and @therealbananaj was there and that guy in the Jean vest whose name I forget was there. There were parents and kids there! It was a great night and I'm grateful I got to be a part of it.

Just over a week ago I got to hear @mattiesilksmusic outside of @mountaintapbrewery in Steamboat Springs. Posted a story about it but also want a post shoot it. It was pretty perfect. Weather was perfect. Beer was perfect (I even liked an IPA!). Music was perfect. It was what everyone thinks Colorado is all the time. Visit places around the state. Drink drinks and hear music live that we can only get there. It's worth it.

At last night's @indie1023 Local 303 Meetup at @bar404broadway I almost left before @shadow.work.band started. My energy was not there. But then I talked with the guys from @girldinner.tunes and they were excited for Shadow Work. Then I talked with the guys from @bywaxpool and they were excited for Shadow Work. Then I talked with Sam from @tinytomboyband and he was excited for Shadow Work. So I stayed to hear Shadow Work and now I'm excited to hear them again! This also highlights one of my absolute favorite things about Colorado's music scene! I love seeing the collaboration, care and excitement everyone has for each others' music. It makes it so much fun to be a part of it!

Day 2 of @focomx was shorter for me than I wanted. Staying out 2 nights in a row while dancing and drinking the whole time is a young person's game and I am not a young person anymore. 😂 1. We were on our way to our first planned show when a beautiful voice stopped us in our tracks so we got to hear @dziraegold sing her new song about the moon! 2. We got to @wobble.hifi early and heard a few songs from @clareelichmusic and bought a cool sticker of hers. 3. The way Keith looks at Eryn when she sings the word "At" for 5 minutes straight is great. We should all be so lucky. 4. @whiterosemotoroil action shot! 5. Surprise Celtic music with @mollyhigginsband (not to be confused with any actual Molly Higginses)! 6. @thisisanaluna looks like she's in a trance while playing but she had all of us in a trance. 7. @slimcessna and Maria! 8. ❤️❤️ 9. There's no other pictures cuz we crashed out the rest of the night. Credit to @corrinepantall for some of the pictures and dealing with me all weekend and for the past 17 years (today is our anniversary!)

Day 1 of @focomx was amazing! 1. FocoMX merch! 2. Me with my beautiful concert buddy and wife. 3. Started our day with @travis.mcnamara at @equinoxbrewing 4. Things to do when seeing musicians: Tell them we like their music. Buy their merch. Take pictures with them. 5. @feedlottheband at @scrumpyshardciderbar 6. @neonthebishop at @illegalpetes went full send! 7. @thegalentines.band at @soundbarvenue 8. When we do #4 we make friends with musicians and then they photobomb the selfies we take when trying to meet new friends from the internet. 9. @capturethis.band barely captured at @theneighborfortcollins 10. @gas_pops at @washingtonsfoco 11. @talkingxpoint after midnight at @surfside_7

What should be my first post for this account? Let's not over think it. Follow for Colorado music! There's so much! This weekend I'm at @focomx ! If you're here too, come say hi. If not, use the internet to say hi!
