A week ago today, the first-ever wintertime outdoor concert was held at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It was cold, but the lack of snow helped draw a hearty audience of hip hop fans, making Icelantic Winter on the Rocks, headlined by Atmosphere and Common, go off without a hitch. The scene was a lot different this morning. These photos were shot between 6:45 and 8 a.m. at Red Rocks by photographer Gene Tewksbury of Golden and of bigsunphotography.com. "It wasn't cold, it was just windy and difficult to keep my lens dry," Tewksbury said this morning.

On Saturday night, the Meadowlark was once again invaded by Neon Knights, the monthly dance romper put together by DJ Shannon Kelly. The crowd in the basement venue morphed throughout the night from a snug-fitting sweat-fest of tightly packed, jittering bodies to a reasonably thinned-out space, giving room for those with the energy to really let loose.

Kid Rock: Still Bawitdaba'ing after all these years.

​Last night, Kid Rock, one the Motor City's most prized exports, pulled into the Mile High City on his Born Free Tour. On this tour, Kid Rock committed to donating money to various charities in each city. In Denver, the charities he chose were Bikers Against Child Abuse, Excelsior Youth Center and Safe House Denver. Our resident shutterbug, Brandon Marshall, was on hand for the gig last night and brought us back a bunch of photos that we've compiled in our Kid Rock at the Fillmore slideshow.

Taylor Swift's shocked! Again! As seen in the Hollywood Reporter

Sunday was a good day for Taylor Swift. A glowing profile by 60 Minutes' Leslie Stahl, followed by her cleaning up at the American Music Awards; she took home the awards for Favorite Country Female Artist, Artist of The Year, Favorite Country Female Artist, and Speak Now won Favorite Country Album. This, of course, follows a career that's been as consistently incredible as anyone's in music. So is Taylor used to, blase or even jaded about the success? OH, HELL NO.

COREY TAYLOR at the GOTHIC THEATRE | 11/19/11

This past Saturday at the Gothic, fans were treated to a softer side of Corey Taylor, the charismatic frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour. On tour in support of his Seven Deadly Sins book, Taylor returned to Denver, which he considers a second home, and played an acoustic set, read excerpts from his book and took questions from the audience (one question was apparently so asinine that he just laughed and moved on). Page down to see some highlights of the evening.
