When Joseph Pope III of Born in the Flood observes a birthday, it seems all of Denver observes. Check out our photo essay from the party by John Moore. With bonus video of Mike Marchant serenading Mr. Pope.
“Joseph Pope III’s Birthday Observed” drew the likes of Jim McTurnan, Hawks of Paradise, Snake Rattle Rattle Snake and Mike Marchant (of The Widowers) to the Hi-Dive on April 29. You’ll see all of them below in John Moore’s photo essay. Except for headliner Snake Rattle Rattle Snake. Because John’s old, and by the time SRRS took to the stage, it was no longer Pope’s birthday.
In the video above, Mike Marchant serenades Joseph Pope III with an original song he wrote for Pope’s birthday bash.
