Big Head Todd & The Monsters started off their summer with a bang – a sold out annual play at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in their home state of Colorado. Another highlight, the band is offering up their new and tasty Big Head Red - a 100% Nero D’Avola, Sicily – available exclusively at Denver’s Argonaut Wine & Liquor. Read about it here.
