PREVIEW: Summer Meltdown 8.10 - 8.13.17

Darrington Bluegrass Park Darrington, WA Words by Mitch Melheim Photo by Coleman Schwartz Media Summer Meltdown returns to beautiful Darrington, Washington on August 10-13 and once again boasts an impressive line up for this rapidly growing festival. Two nights of the String Cheese Incident lead the bill followed by Nahko & Medicine for the People’s conscious, feel-good brand of roots-rock. The diversity of the festival begins to shine through with electronic acts The Floozies, The Polish Ambassador, G Jones, Boombox, and Opiuo countering the acoustic sounds of The Infamous Stringdusters and Elephant Revival. The Shook Twins, World’s Finest, and Polecat also provide a bit of a string band feel, but excel well-past the boundaries of the genre and all feature drums. Tauk will bring their heavy brand of instrumental electro-prog to the festival for the first time just like reggae legends, The Wailers, who are also making their Meltdown debut. Tons of Pacific Northwest jam t

Umphrey's McGee 6.30 - 7.2.17

Red Rocks Amphitheatre Morrison, CO Words by J. Picard Photos by Doug Fondriest Photography Not many bands are at a level where they get a crack at three, let alone two or even one night at the fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO. For many musicians, Red Rocks is the pinnacle of the live music experience. The weekend leading up to July 4th, we had the privilege of attending three nights of Umphrey's McGee in Colorado and watching a couple of our friends perform on the edge. That weekend we would be joined by my brother-in-law, Jeremy, who was just getting into the jamband scene and the weekend would mark his first three night run. We would experience the spectrum of Umphrey's, party in the parking lot for hours and catch an after-show a short distance down the road. The weekend would encompass so many aspects of the live music scene and would continuously remind me of the magic that we're so often chasing! Friday, June 30: The Jeep was loaded with beer

Dead & Company 6.9 & 6.10.17

Folsom Field Denver, CO Words by J. Picard Photos by Doug Fondriest Photography Airplanes full of people in tie-dye streaked across the sky on the same route as more VW Buses than a Boulderite could shake a stick at! Colorado was the destination and the main event, two nights of Dead & Company at CU Boulder's Folsom Field! The band that started the scene kept it rolling with Bob Weir and golden boy, John Mayer, at the helm. I awoke Thursday to a missed call and text from bass player, Oteil Burbridge, and bailed on any hope of preparing for the weekend, instead opting to spend the day with one of my favorite humans! That evening my wife, Carly, and I packed and came morning, we hit the road towards Boulder for what would be a peak summer experience! Friday, June 9: We took a left turn about halfway down the Front Range at Coal Creek Canyon and headed to the canyon's top to join our friends Matt and Teri, as well as the Chets (Mike & Stephanie)! We powered down

PREVIEW: Northwest String Summit 7.13 - 7.16.17

Horning’s Hideout North Plains, OR Words by Mitch Melheim Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media Northwest String Summit will make it’s return to Horning’s Hideout this July 13-16 for the sixteenth year in a row. Also in their sixteenth year “in the bowl” is perennial host band Yonder Mountain String Band, who will again play three nights, this time with a mysterious cover set on Saturday that fans suspect to be Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” based off of clues posted on the band’s Instagram page. Thursday, once just a pre-party, has blossomed into one of the more action-packed days of the festival with two sets of Greensky Bluegrass, Fruition, Shook Twins, and Lil’ Smokies all gracing the main stage before a true “choose your own adventure” late night option presents itself. Split Lip Rayfield’s aggressive brand of string music runs alongside the beauty of Elephant Revival which may become a game-time decision for most, depending on how much gas is left in the tank. Friday, like the rest
