As a music news outlet, part of our job is to find and report on announcements from our favorite bands across the live music scene. Yesterday, the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre that kept us particularly busy, announcing a total of six large scale performances to their 2017 calendar in the same day. From the untz of Papadosio and Disco Biscuits to the twang of Railroad Earth and Leftover Salmon to whatever onomatopoeia you can come up with for Primus, it’s going to be a great year for music fans in the Colorado area!
