Summertime in Colorado means many things, but for many, the sunny season signifies a time to get up to Red Rocks for Film on the Rocks. The popular series that brings together comedy, music and film at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison just announced their schedule. Most interesting about this year’s schedule is the presence of national acts. In past years, it’s been an all-locals affair, but this year’s line-up includes Virginia rock act Carbon Leaf, Aussie rocker Ben Lee and other out-of-towners.
