Here’s the first of many captures from yesterday’s Westword Music Showcase, a performance by Elin Palmer in the spectacular Curious Theatre.  Delays in stage setup resulted in a late start, but a nice sized crowd streamed into the theatre as soon as doors opened.  While short, the overall mood and attentive crowd made this my favorite Elin show to-date.

In typical fashion, last weekend’s Larimer BBQ was sparsely populated, but that didn’t stop Natural Selection from giving their all to those select few who were listening!

The constant rainfall Saturday night wasn’t heavy enough to prevent people from turning up the Meadowlark’s patio show, and it definitely wasn’t enough to stop Travis, Tom, or any of the other performers from warming up the crowd!

It rained all evening, leading to the right PA channel going out 4 minutes into Track 2.
I panned the recording hard right in an attempt to compensate for the PA problems.
