Dan Bern will return to Denver on March 19th for a show at the Soiled Dove Underground.  Here’s one of the more bizarre sets I’ve seen him play, also from the aforementioned Lowry venue.

Glen Phillips played to a sold-out audience at the Soiled Dove Underground last night, touching on material spanning his solo output, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Works Progress Administration.  Glen appeared slightly nervous at first.  Several songs in, a shout-out from the crowd broke down any tension that may have existed.  The rest of the night was full of audience engagement, humor, and a perfect performance.

The audience gave Glen their undivided attention, but this is the norm at The Soiled Dove Underground.  I’m surprised at how many people have never been to the Lowry venue–it would easily rank in my top five places to see a concert in Denver.  Rhett and Casey do a great job at booking acoustic, Americana, and jazz acts for this intimate room.

Chris Durant was double-booked on drums Saturday night, so Amazing Twin (formerly Old Radio) ended up playing an abridged set.  To make up for the brevity, we were treated to three unreleased songs.  Amazing Twin’s debut, New Wives’ Tale, was released in November and is available digitally via CDBaby and iTunes.   Look for vinyl in the near future!

Corey Teruya invited several friends to join him at the Hi-Dive last night in an opening set for Laura Gibson.  The evening was very informal, yet highly enjoyable.  Hello Kavita songs took back seat, making room for some great cover songs and two of Emily Knight’s originals.
