Colorado’s up-and-coming psychedelic blues-rock band Dragondeer returned home on Friday, putting on a stellar show at the Bluebird Theatre on Colfax to celebrate the release of Topanga Canyon Sessions Volume 1. Joined by A. tom collins, Evan Holm & The Restless Ones, and The Guestlist, the night was celebratory as Denver welcomed the band home and relished the tunes the night provided. In addition to classic numbers from their repertoire, Dragondeer also threw in a handful of choice covers to keep the audience on their toes. First Aid Kit’s “Silver Lining” was the first of the evening. followed by the Grateful Dead’s “Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion.” For the group’s encore, they came back with JJ Cale’s “Cocaine” before moving into their own number, “Broadway Avenue,” eventually closing out the night with Chuck Berry’s “Never Can Tell.”

You can listen to Dragondeer perform “Broadway Avenue” for Jam In The Van a few years ago at Telluride Blues And Brews. Also, don’t forget to check out photos from last night’s Topanga Canyon Sessions Volume 1-release celebration below, courtesy of photographer Andrew Rios.
