Denver Does Denver

A Setting Science (Mark Shusterman and Scott Beck) took a slightly different approach to Denver Does Denver this year.  Instead of working up material by other local bands, they collaborated with filmmaker Rett Rogers, providing an instrumental score to his silent film based around 1930’s Denver imagery.

Dustin Reid‘s music was the perfect relaxant after tornadoes skirted downtown during last year’s Open Air Denver Festival.

The mad genius of Denver pushing the envelope in a very wacky solo acoustic set, just after the funnel clouds passed through downtown…

Finally!

It took me two months to find time, but I managed to sit down over the weekend and edit all 67 tracks from this year’s Denver Does Denver festival. Sound is quite rough (especially on the Bar Bar sets, where I had a cable issue), but there are some definite gems in here–just check out the setlists!   (P.S.  Setlist corrections are welcomed.)
