Us Coloradoans are blessed with the summer opportunity to attend so many wonderful destination music festivals. From Telluride to Lyons, from Aspen to Nederland, the amount of music and fun available is really endless. Anybody considering moving from their ordinary neck-of-the-woods to Colorado could assure himself or herself that the music scene out here is at a peak in the summer months. I have two summer favorites that I never miss.

With the Kinfolk Celebration and NedFest right around the corner, I decided to trek down to the Boulder Theater on Thursday night to give my ears a little warm-up session with WhiteWater Ramble and local Boulder band The Magic Beans.
Saturday NedFest was a real spectacular lineup. In the memory of Michigan Mike, promoters brought back Nedfest mainstay acts such as New Monsoon, and Hot Buttered Rum, while welcoming up-and-comings such as Fruition, the days scorching opening act. The headliners were beasts. Jimmy Herring Band featuring Jeff Sipe and Neal Fountain in the lineup absolutely wowed the crowd followed by Mexican-American Rock 'n' Roll band Los Lobos gave the Nedfest crowd a taste of their traditional acoustic side followed by a hard hitting electric set. What a day!
