Rose Hill Drive
This Boulder trio’s tight, bluesy stompers have drawn comparisons to Queens of the Stone Age and garnered them spots at Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits. This summer they will release an EP and album, but first they’ll play an intimate show at the Hi-Dive. Get there early – their shows at the Fox Theatre have been selling out. Saturday at 7 S. Broadway, 8 p.m. $8, all ages.

Friedman, a bass player and co-founding member of Dotsero, will be backed by keyboards, saxophone, guitar and drums at his Thorntonfest appearance. See him Saturday at 108th and Colorado at the Marketplace Stage. 1 p.m. Free.
