Adia Victoria. Last night @ Larimer Lounge. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while (her & @sharonvanhalen this year maybe?) Thanks for bringing the horns & the blues all the way west to Denver! Her sophomore album Silences came out a month ago and is NOT TO BE MISSED. What a powerful live show. Goddamn, music teaches me so much. • #concertjournal #buyallthemerch #fuckthepatriarchy #pacoletroad (at Larimer Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/matthewjones7/p/BvE7vLfFN1w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=45nntlpkhdf2

“Fall fell from August & the petals all dropped off / We’re always finding old lives to run away from / & I started to believe it...” • Field Report was oh so intimate & cathartic at the Globe last night. All words & colors, feelings & seasons. 16 songs (plus two brand new ones!) spread across three albums that have meant a ton to me at different points of my life. These songs have managed to thread together some strange seasons, & hearing them all in a row was special in the way that just keeps me coming back to songs & albums & music. Thanks Chris for stopping off in Denver & helping us celebrate the beginning of Fall. Also, “Marigolden” has always been my go-to “airplane” song & here I am looking at three mini flights to Salt Lake, LA, & Tulsa in the next five weeks! Jane Harmony, where ya at?! #concertjournal #marigolden #summertimesongs (at Globe Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bntkx9rld5N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rkll8zc2ea9b

“I’ll burn me through the handle / I’ll drink the cactus truths / Appear to peyoteras / Hills the color of conqueror root...” • Music marks time & space. Songs are friends & companions. Josh Ritter at Red Rocks tonight was exhilarating. I feel closer to his songs the older I get and it’s comforting. Rock & roll. • #concertjournal #youngmoses #thetemptationofadam (at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnak8XbnGmj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=139ehy2dsod8t

“I got some radio wires soldered to my heart & you’re the only thing that’s coming in / I’m getting static from my better sense & nothing on the FM / See I’ve been praying for a signal, a sign that you haven’t sent / You might be an angel falling from the heavens or a stranger from a garden party, drunk & roaming ever since... Running from a place where they don’t make people like me / I keep the car running, I keep my bags packed / I don’t wanna’ leave, just don’t wanna’ leave last / I’ve been praying for your touch, your glance, your hands... & he’s a better kisser than you’d think mom / He’s a better listener than most / We took pretty pictures by the sea mom / Fell in love and sailed off / & when the son of man had me in his clutches / The sons of men pulled me to their touch & I loved it. You better hide your love... Don’t let it slip away...” • When Sam Melo says... “This song...is about...a boy” Pay attention. Listen. Some of the most game changing songwriting I’ve heard in recent rock & roll. Plus, best dancing this side of @charlies_denver at 1am. Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Thanks for writing these songs. 🌈 🐈 🎉 🌈 #concertjournal #friendlovefreefall (at Belly Up, Aspen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmoLd8pnZx4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17jkwyii4vhc8

Last night was a blur. Phoebe Bridgers was fantastic. Echoing everything I said from my Liza Anne post. Fearless songwriters helping facilitate critical conversations. #concertjournal (at Gothic Theatre)

[linernotesandseasons]

Fine. But. Dying. This most recent Liza Anne record is so important. This tour is pretty epic (@valleyqueenmusic is an OPENER are you kidding me?!) Talking about mental health is critical & life-changing. Haven’t heard/seen a writer like this in a while. Definitely catch a show if this tour is coming your way. Really really important songs being birthed into the world but some A+, badass songwriters right now & it’s exhilarating & heartening to see folks connecting with em, even in tough times. Goddamn I love live music. • #concertjournal #merrrrrch #paranoia #finebutdying (at Globe Hall)

@lailelila & I saw a giant dog at the Hi-Dive last weekend! Ok ok, it was A Giant Dog. But still...pretty sweaty, exciting, & definitely worth mentioning. #uhthankyou #concertjournal (at Hi-Dive Denver)

[linernotesandseasons]

Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas Friday night at Lost Lake! I love love LOVE supporting touring bands. Usually I do it by letting @lailelila buy me all the Tecates & all the merch (posters, patches, albums, etc...) & then we dance all 1.7 miles home at 2AM. I'm really lucky. #telefono #tecate #concertjournal #lamusicaesvida #amordeaquihastaeluniverso (at Lost Lake)
