Soulive was in Boulder, at the Fox Theatre, all weekend long! "Snowlive," a three-day event, presented by KGNU, KGNC, and The Colorado Daily, featured mid-day workshops and three nights of shows. The workshops were run by the members of Soulive and focused on songwriting, expanding musical vocabulary, sound engineering, and the art of being a band.

Tampa’s 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre will come alive with the thunderous roars from a spectacle of top new and custom cycles, live entertainment, exhibits, and vendors with state of the art accessories, as The Ride Back Bike Fest takes place over Saturday, February 25th / starting at 3PM.  It will also mark the Tampa Bay motion picture premiere of Easy Rider: The Ride Back, the sequel to the original Oscar nominated film Easy Rider, one of the top 100 American Film Institute Films of all time, and considered by many movie critics as the best biker movie ever

Expecting an opening act, we arrived at the venue an hour after the doors were to open. There turned out to be no opening act, and the wait for the band went on for a seemingly endless  2++ hours. There was little entertainment aside from an unruly hula hooper among the large, otherwise well behaved Broward County crowd.

Going to see Yonder Mountain String Band in your t-shirt and shorts in February is pretty special, especially when you’re from Boulder. I was lucky enough to catch YMSB last night, which for me is fortuitous timing considering I am in town visiting my mom (and planning a monster trip to The Galapagos next week).
