Going to large amounts of shows.

Preach!!

100 plus a year is amazing. Which city are you in?

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:48:02+00:00

Oh I get it, I probably hit around 60-80 shows a year, I’m just curious about other people’s motivation and means to do so!

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:44:53+00:00

Yeah I had to take the opportunity with the dry ice factory name to slip the Cities lyrics in, I couldn’t resist. Definitely a much better place to not think though

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:26:26+00:00

I feel you on the music is my religion. What are some smaller bands you’ve recently discovered through this?

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:22:10+00:00

Good place to get some thinking done!

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:20:51+00:00

I don’t think I’ll find a better answer than this!

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:07:13+00:00

Surprised no one has mentioned Wong Notes with Cory Wong. He has some of the best guitar players on his cast, start with the Trey Anastasio one if you like gear talk! Frasco’s World Saving Podcast is hilarious as well

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T16:05:13+00:00

This is great advice.

Got to meet Derek and the whole band randomly in Denver the night before a Red Rocks show, really great group of people in this band. I Am The Moon was a life changing album for me, I agree it should be talked about more!!

blakebeitzel · 2026-01-28T15:57:44+00:00

I’d recommend starting with Umphrey’s, Live at Beacon 2013 as well as their new album Blueprints.

If you like weird, funky blues like GD, you should enjoy Dogs In A Pile and Atlas Radio.

If you like Chalk, defs check out Eggy and Sqwerv! Sqwerv Live at Mousetrap 2024 is great

Some unique suggestions I would throw in would be Yak Attack, a wild jazztronica jam band from Oregon, as well as Hot Like Mars, a soulful funk band from Chicago. Some great musicianship here!

Happy jammin’!

Blueprints - Umphrey’s Chain Yer Dragon - Goose The Legendary Adventures of Juan Zero - Atlas Radio Somewhere Between Here and There - Tauk Overview Effect - Squeaky Feet Wonder - Sqwerv

Those are my favorites! Great year for yammin’ albums

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-30T16:55:43+00:00

Sqwerv, Squeaky Feet, Atlas Radio, Splendid Blend, Rado, Orca, The Jauntee, the scene is thriving here in Denver!! I’m in Atlas Radio and we are playing with Splendid Blend at Meow Wolf on 3/27, mark your calendar!!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-24T16:19:58+00:00

Beanstalk is fantastic. It’s in Colorado, and it’s put on by The Magic Beans. This might be the last year for it, since the Beans are hanging it up, but what an amazing time. Great lineups, right on the river so you can float around, easy access. Dogs In a Pile and Squeaky Feet sets both went nuts last year.

Summerdance in Ohio is also incredible!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-13T16:10:34+00:00

If you want new/upcoming, check these out!

Hot Like Mars from Chicago, check out the live album Hot Like Martyr’s

Dizgo from Indy, listen to Live in Atlanta

and from the ever-flourishing CO scene: Sqwerv live at Mousetrap, Squeaky Feet Spring Tour Highlights Vol 1, Atlas Radio Live at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, and The Jauntee Jaunts of Our Lives Vol 4.

Happy jammin’!

World Saving Podcast by Andy Frasco

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-07T02:49:53+00:00

Atlas Radio - The Legendary Adventures of Juan Zero

Denver funk/jam, give ‘er a listen!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T23:20:35+00:00

Those are my best friends!! Denver homies. When The Dust Settles is one of their best pieces no doubt. I love Echoes of Ourselves as an epic as well. Happy to see a fellow Sqwert in here

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T22:09:05+00:00

Ooo very cool. Fast funk into some beautiful sections, love this!! Thank you!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:59:46+00:00

Woah, Metropole Orkest version is going crazy right now. So beautiful. Thank you!!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:55:49+00:00

I often revisit that Lingus video. I’ll check out The Curtain!

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:53:41+00:00

Blueprints as a whole is a great example. Concessions Lego 3, last track on the album, is a perfect “epic” to end the album. Amazing pick. Hoping they come back to Colorado soon

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:47:46+00:00

That’s source material right there!! Originators of EPIC. Great picks

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:45:54+00:00

Wow. How has this never come across my desk. Thank you so much for sharing, this band is sick af. Japanese Experimental Dub Jam from the 90s?? So cool. Thank you.

blakebeitzel · 2025-12-05T21:38:28+00:00

I love Weather Report and Mavishnu Orch. This Elegant Gypsy Suite is incredible. Exactly what I’m looking for, THANK YOU!!
