Concert Reviews

RootsFest 2009 - Leo and Hot Rize were amazine...Shawn Colvin was missed

This was a pretty crazy night. My overall impression is that putting a "festival" style event into an Opera House is a flawed concept and that they would be better off either shrinking the performer list or holding it at a more typical festival venue with a more typical festival feeling. Either Swallow Hill or the artists or Ellie Caulkins doesn't allow photos at their shows, so nothing new on the Photo Stream.

Next, I'll break it down artist by artist.

Boulder Acoustic Society

Seats: 
E-123 - very back of the first level. The venue is packed in tight layers, so all seats are "good"
Concert Rating: 
4
