Hall & Oates in Denver!!!!
I still remember that SNL: Behind the Music episode w/Chris Kattan. I feel pretty old, but in all honesty, I couldn’t think of any better duo to grace the Paramount stage in the name of Yacht Rock! I can only imagine the amount of Cougs at this show, kind of like being at Elway’s for…

Great Lake Swimmers
This is a steal! Amazon has the latest album from Great Lake Swimmers at $2.99. Go here to pick it up! Lost Channels embodies my favorite aspects of what I would like to call a “Road Trip Album”. It’s one that you can put on, not feel like you’re at the club/bar, great melodies, excellent…
