The grass might be brown in February in Colorado, but that doesn’t stop Winterwondergrass from bringing established and up-and-coming bluegrass acts to Nottingham Park in Avon. This year — the third iteration of the event — brings The Infamous Stringdusters, Elephant Revival, Sam Bush Band, Les Claypool, Leftover Salmon and more on Feb. 20-22. This all takes place across three stages. The event also hosts a handful of late night concerts during the weekend, which puts the festival’s headlining acts into intimate spots around Avon/Aspen. Tickets cost $139 for a three-day pass, $69 for single day access on Friday and Saturday and $59 for Sunday. The tickets for late night shows range from $10-$35.
Hundred Waters‘ 2014 sophomore full-length album opens with a stunning, simple and beautiful a capella number called “Show Me Love.” It’s a bold way to open an album, yet, its layered and deep melodies and meticulous production set the listener up for a journey through the next 11 tracks. On a tour opening for Alt-J a few years ago, Hundred Waters introduced itself as a competent live act — one that can reproduce this detailed audio craftsmanship on stage. The band returns to Denver to headline the Bluebird Theater on Feb. 21 with openers Moses Sumney and Inner Oceans.
