Pop-rock on, kids!
Ralph’s World in concert
11 a.m., Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St., Boulder, 303-786-7030. $16.50.
Move over, Wiggles, there’s a new band in town. Ralph’s World, which makes pop and rock music that sounds good to little pitchers and their parents, too, plays The Boulder Theater today. Led by Chicago indie pop-rocker Ralph Covert, the band brings a mature, high- energy, super-melodic style to the stage, but with lyrics tooled for innocent ears.
