Railroad Earth started off their 3-night run at The Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO with a fantastic show. The Scott Pemberton Trio opened up the evening and the crowd began to settle in nicely. The boys came out with a ripping “Jupiter and the 119” and it was clear early on that the night was going to be a fun one. Railroad kept the people dancing with tunes like “Bread and Water” and “Morning Flies” as the set progressed, leaving the crowd wanting more.

The second set kept the energy going with “Lordy, Lordy” and “Cold Water.” The jams started to pick up and the band got into the groove with “Mighty River.” The somber mood from the days events were almost completely forgotten during the dance party that ensued. A feeling of pure joy emanated throughout the room as the tunes continued to please everyone’s ears. The band treated the crowd to a brand new song, penned by Todd Sheaffer. During the first listen, “Addin’ My Voice” seemed a fitting statement to go along with the demonstrations planned for Saturday morning.

The crowd was hanging on every note and the room lit up when the boys came back out for a “Powder Finger” encore, which witnessed Scott Pemberton joining Railroad Earth on stage, sending the crowd off into the night with smiles from ear to ear. The band continues their run at the Ogden this evening.
