City Park Jazz | A Celebration of Community

South Pearl Street Summer Music Festivals | Jun 14 and Aug 9, 2014

Denver Arts & Venues | Events Programs | Five Points Jazz Festival

Additionally, Nocturne and Dazzle are live jazz clubs. And if you like bluegrass, Denver has one of the best scenes in the country.

This has become one of the premier events in the country:
https://www.bluegrass.com/rockygrass/

A bit further from denver, but this has always been one of the premier events:
https://www.bluegrass.com/telluride/

There are smaller festivals around the city all summer as well. South Pearl Street does one that we always go to. It's fun.

And of course he has released lots of solo lp's going back to 1977.

Two years ago ZZ Top closed out Sunday.
Last year Joe Walsh closed out Sunday.

Both gave the crowd their money's worth-and then some! I was there-I know!
