themotetnewyears12 FURTHUR NYE-APE web 10-11-12It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it continues with Kwanzaa and the end of the year concert mania known as the New Year’s eve shows.  Continuing a long tradition of ‘one show is just not enough’ many bands now have a run of three or four shows to close out one year and usher in another.

People will be jamming all over the nation with Phish in New York city, Widespread Panic in Charlotte, Leftover Salmon in St. Louis and Chicago and Furthur in SCInye12San Francisco.   It is amazing with all the jamming going on around the country that we still have so many options for celebratory fun here in Colorado.

The big shows in our book are String Cheese Incident at the First Bank Center, Yonder Mountain String Band at the Boulder theater and The Motet at the Fox.  The entire Yonder run is sold out but you may still find some pre 31st tickets for SCI or the Motet.  And if you don’t plan on heading out to see those bands there are plenty of other bands in smaller venues that offer up just as much fun.  Check out this list and wherever you end up, be safe, choose a designated driver or let RTD take you home as they are free to ride on the 31st starting at 7 p.m..  Happy New Year!
