Mishawaka Amphitheatre Bellvue, CO Words By J. Picard Photos By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Upon the confirmation and announce of Roosevelt Collier's "Colorado Get Down" and Hot Buttered Rum at Mishawaka, there was a certain expectation of how the day would play out, including imagery of dancing alongside the Poudre River under the stars. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had different plans, including rain and flooding the month leading up to the show. The day prior to the event our camp received an e-mail suggesting the possibility of moving the show inside. That night following delay after delay, I picked up Roosevelt from the airport and headed to The Bluebird Theater in Denver with my fiance, Carly, for a very special private album release for Keller Williams presented by O.pen Vape and featuring The Drunken Hearts. With the assistance of the ever-so-wonderful Kevin Anderson, we loaded in the gear and enjoyed a few songs from Andrew McConathy and

Red Rocks Amphitheatre Morrison, CO Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Despite the majestic beauty that is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, selling out this illustrious venue’s 9,450 seats is not the easiest task. I’ve been to many shows where the park is barely half full. Umphrey’s McGee struggled for the better part of a decade trying to nail down the formula to achieve a sell out. Ironically, they finally got there in 2014 by inviting The Motet to support. This would be the same approach for funk juggernauts, Lettuce. They teamed up with Colorado’s house band, The Motet, to sell out the historic amphitheater with support from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Exmag. This spring Colorado has been inundated with precipitation. Several of the early spring shows at Red Rocks have had to deal with the weather. It would definitely be a factor on this particular evening. Hardcore funk fans got in early to secure a spot close to the action as the DJs started the off the night.

Three Sisters Park Chillicothe, IL Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) What began as a glorified beer bash with a few bands in the backwoods of Illinois, has grown over the last decade and a half into the Midwest’s premiere music and cultural experience. Summer Camp 2015 was a year for reflection with many fans heard proclaiming the number of times they made the trek to Chillicothe. For me it was my tenth year and yet another opportunity to work as a Camp Counselor with a whole batch of new recruits ready to hit the ground running. I got in early on Wednesday night so as to avoid the infamous line to get into GA. Fans were already starting to que up when I arrived late in the evening. The pre-party for the pre-party went all night until the gates opened up around noon. The recently re-imagined entryway allowed for smoother access than years past with multiple stations set up for receiving patrons. Thursday May 21, 2015: The Thursday Pre-Part

Mishawaka Amphitheatre Bellvue, CO Words, Photos & Video By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Mishawaka recently relinquished the control of booking their calendar to the Boulder-based Z2 Entertainment. They are best known for operating both The Boulder Theater and The Fox. Z2 is better equipped to bring in nationally touring acts to the historic venue on the Poudre, and this year they are doing exactly that. However, this concert felt more like a hometown hootenanny. Fort Collins-based powerhouse Euforquestra shared the bill with the electro-funk Motet, side-project Juno What, and DJ Mikey Thunder started the show. Fans feared the weather as Colorado has continued to get pummeled by precipitation for what has been a very wet spring. However, the rains held off and the four hundred or so souls brave enough to make the trip were rewarded with a beautiful star-filled sky. Mikey Thunder got started early around 8 PM as the buses continued to make the round trip
