PRETTY LIGHTS – Article and New EP

Pretty Lights “Spilling over every side and taking up your precious time” Written by: Jenna Stecker He isn’t just another college dropout. 5 years ago Pretty Lights was just Derek Vincent Smith, another student at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Fast forward to today and Smith is half of the musical powerhouse Pretty Lights, tearing up the electronic music circuit and lighting fire under his loyal fans and creating new flame converts by the day. His fusion of Electronica, Down-tempo and Hip Hop alongside his wide berth of samplings from current Rap, classic Funk and old school Soul creates  head nodding flow along with danceable beats. The addition of a percussionist during his live shows creates intrigue among electronic music cynics and draws a wider variety of people to him. Film student by...

Telluride Blues and Brews wrap-up...

Sep 20, 2010 by

Ah, the Blues and Brews Festival, a weekend long party in Telluride’s Town Park that signifies the end of the summer festival season. As always, Blues and Brews was a blast and for 2010, an unlikely candidate earned the MVP… the weather; as there was a rare 3 days of complete sunshine and perfect temperatures that enveloped Telluride allowing for the Blues and Brews festivarians to enjoy a phenomenal weekend of music and beer in a dry Town Park. This year’s musical lineup included B.B. King, Galactic, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, Jimmy Vaughan and George Thorogood. As with every Blues and Brews, Saturday is the Grand Tasting so hundreds of beers from 50 microbreweries were flowing at an alarmingly drunkening pace for 3  fun-filled hours. While there will be a complete wrap-up of...

Definitely not DMB for TBB

Jul 12, 2010 by

While we all know that the final headlining slot for Telluride’s Blues and Brews will be announced once that band’s contractural obligations at Mile High are completed, one band can be officially crossed off the list. Dave Matthews Band has announced that their final shows of 2010 (and 2011 for that matter) will take place on 9/17&18 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, making it official that they will not be in Telluride. If you want to see DMB before their hiatus, you’ll have to catch them at MHMF in August. This leaves Derek and Susan (most probable) and Steve Miller Band along with a few dark horses like Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Cypress Hill (just kidding, their blues album isn’t coming out til 2013) and Weezer as...
