After cycling a full 70 miles from Fort Collins, Ben Sollee and Jordan Ellis still found the energy to put on an amazing show at the Oriental Theater.  This particular night closed out the second leg of their Ditch the Van Tour, which finds the duo traveling from show to show by bike.  As Ben explains between songs, the tour not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels, but also provides opportunities to better connect with the cities and people visited.  For more insight, check out the documentary videos on Ben’s tumblr page.

Here’s a great sounding set from Lilly Scott and Cole Rudy (a.k.a. Big Lil’), who opened for Ben Sollee at the Oriental Theater last weekend.  This show was very well attended–hopefully this leads to more frequent shows being booked at the Oriental.
