About this concert
Much like the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, and the Grateful Dead, The Runaway Grooms paint a spacious soundscape that expands in ever-widening circles, inviting us into warm, enveloping musical landscapes that traverse jazz, rock, and folk. Their newest album, This Road, captures the energy that the Colorado-based band brings to live performances, each song stretching out along a path filled with melodious meanderings and percussive pathways that dance around a central musical theme. With the tracks more or less recorded live in the studio, the true spirit of their music is revealed, one that reflects the musicians desire for their songs to live organically and for the flow of the band’s energy to be uninhibited; listening to the songs on This Road is like being in the front row at one of the band’s shows.
River Spell is a Colorado-based jam band that delivers heartfelt songwriting and extended improvisation. Their timeless, yet innovative sound encompasses elements of folk, rock, funk, psychedelic and bluegrass music. River Spell formed in the front range of Colorado in the summer of 2022. Since then, the band has been gigging tirelessly and spreading their infectious sound throughout the country. River Spell shows are truly unique and immersive experiences; no show is like the last. Since their recent formation, River Spell has played alongside bands such as Railroad Earth, The Motet, The Lil Smokies, Tea Leaf Green, Mike Dillon, Ghost Light, Holly Bowling, Jason Hann (of The String Cheese Incident), Sicard Hollow, CBDB, Cycles, Eminence Ensemble and many more. They frequent venues such as The Fox, Cervantes Masterpiece, Belly Up Aspen, Animas City Theatre, etc. River Spell will be releasing their debut album on February 16, 2024.
Bar opens at 5 PM and happy hour from open to 7 PM. (21+) The Velvet Elk Lounge does not allow minors - No Exceptions.
