At the start of the month on June 2nd, The Motet took over the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside of Denver, Colorado, for an epic night of tunes. As a band born out of Colorado, the group’s annual return to Red Rocks is always a highlight of the summer, with the funk act forever drawing out the crowds as a hometown favorite. For this years Motet Red Rocks showing, the band also tapped The California Honeydrops and Jurassic 5 to join them as support — also making possible one of the highlights of the night, when Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 sat in with the group during their excellent cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “Thankful.”

Today, The Motet released a recap video of this year’s Red Rocks show, which lets fans near and far relive the magic experienced on the Rocks that night. Set to the group’s latest single, “Supernova,” the video captures the infectious energy from the evening and leaves us eagerly waiting for Red Rocks 2018. You can check out the video for yourself below, courtesy of the band.
After watching the video, for those of us who can’t wait until our next Motet show, you can catch the group when they hit the East Coast for a Phish Baker’s Dozen late night at BB King Blues Club in New York City on Friday, July 21st. Plus, it was just announced that the ever-wonderful vocalist and trumpeter Jen Hartswick will join the crew for the night, making for a very special evening of music that you won’t want to miss. Tickets for The Motet with special guest Jennifer Hartswick post-Phish are available here.
