Colorado-based powerhouse Eminence Ensemble is set to electrify audiences with a special performance of Pink Floyd's legendary album "Dark Side of the Moon," accompanied by none other than the iconic saxophonist Scott Page, known for his work with Pink Floyd and other notable bands like Toto and Supertramp. These unique performances will take place on April 18 at Nissi’s in Lafayette and April 19 at Cervantes’ Other Side in Denver, promising an unforgettable musical experience for fans as they embark on a journey through one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The collaboration between Eminence Ensemble and Scott Page began at Burning Man 2023, where they mesmerized a crowd of thousands with their rendition of "Dark Side of the Moon." Following the overwhelming success of their performance, the ensemble is bringing the magic back to Colorado for two exclusive shows during 4/20 week.
"Playing Dark Side of the Moon at Burning Man was a true dream. The serendipity was palpable - it was the 50th anniversary of the album, a full moon, and the level of presence among the band and audience was unrivaled," expressed Wil Snyder of Eminence Ensemble. Tanner Bardin, also of Eminence Ensemble, added, "It means a lot to bring these shows home to Colorado. Getting to perform an album that's been revered for over 50 years, with someone like Scott Page who's a literal living rock and roll history book, is mind-blowing."
Audiences at these shows have the rare opportunity to witness "Dark Side of the Moon" performed in its entirety, in addition to other fan favorites, accompanied by a member of Pink Floyd, in a truly intimate setting.
Looking back on the Dark Side set from Burning Man, Justin Neely of Eminence Ensemble reflects: “For a moment, we weren’t on Earth… everyone on stage and in the crowd was somewhere much more cosmic. What was only an hour of music felt like a lifetime of fulfillment and happiness, all around. We’re honored and thrilled to recapture some of this same magic for the two upcoming Colorado shows.”
