As a member of Denver band Flobots, Stephen had been on many tours but only one has touched his soul. He shared that story with us.

About Stephen

Stephen Brackett was born and raised in Denver, Colorado where he regularly interfaces between the music/arts, grassroots movements, and education sectors. As a member of Flobots, he is also a co-founder of the NOENEMIES project, which works within communities to explore the power of protest music, and Youth On Record, a Denver organization that today hosts a state-of-the-art Youth Media Studio and serves at-risk youths with music programs, for-credit classes, and more.

DATE: July 11, 2017
LOCATION: Infinite Monkey Theorem

Kevin Larkin shares a tale from a tour that almost went wrong when his band van got a flat in the middle of nowhere, miles from their gig. Throw in a few fun road games, a little musical interlude and an unexpected twist, and you could almost imagine you were part of the band yourself.

About Kevin

Kevin is a self taught multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter and a lifelong explorer of sound and words. He spent most his 20's touring the the Deep South with a reckless string band and absorbed many of the American folk traditions born there. He is a founding member of Chimney Choir and also records music under the name Pineross. Most of his studies are now spent in the realm of electronics and sampling where he believes the possibilities of music are more endless than ever. When not performing or teaching, you can usually find Kevin in a hammock somewhere off of 285 searching for Yetis.

DATE: March 7, 2017
LOCATION: Spangalang Brewery

Gwen Lassen shares an embarrassing fact about herself - she can't remember your name! But she'll create one heck of a nickname for you.

About Gwen

Gwen Lassen is obsessed with tiny things, growing things, and wondering about things. Her Mom tried to remind her that it was rude to stare at people while she was growing up but she's politely declined to follow that guidance. She likes to watch people and make up stories about them in her head, probably like she's doing to you right now. She doesn't do anything of importance in the circles you run in, unless you also eat seitan wings and drink beer, which then means that she's your hero between the hours of 2pm and 6pm on most weekdays.

Timmi has been a staple in Denver comedy since 2009. She runs a kickass showcase in a punk rock bookstore (Mutiny Information Cafe—a High Plains venue) called Epilogue Comedy, and a nice dinner-and-drinks-kind-of-showcase in the side room of a Tequila bar called El Charrito. In addition to having been on every show Denver has to offer, she also runs what is widely considered to be Denver's favorite open mic. She's worked very hard on becoming an original and thought-provoking funny-human, which has paid off in spots on shows such as The Grawlix, Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction, Seven Minutes in Purgatory, and the last two years of the High Plains Comedy Fest.

LOCATION: Dive Inn

Anika shares the tale of her first major European tour and how she dealt with their misogynistic manager.

About Anika

Anika started playing music at a young age. And when paired with growing up a punk in the 80’s, it’s easy to see how a performing in bands and finding ways to support that passion came naturally to her. While forming and playing in bands such as the Hectics, the Superbees, and Hemi Cuda, Anika used bartending as her flexible yet dependable enabler. Her years with the infamous band Hemi Cuda lead to world tours, adventures and opening for bands like the White Stripes and Gwar. From her days behind the bar over 20 years ago at the PS Lounge on E Colfax (where a star bearing her name still hangs on the wall today), to managing the notorious 15th St. Tavern venue (where many soon to be famous acts debuted in Denver) to writing the opening cocktail programs at Root Down and Linger and her current job with the world’s largest liquor company, she’s a pioneer in music and cocktails in Colorado. And yes, that Fine Art degree looks great on the mantle next to her award from The Colorado Bartenders’ Guild for Best Dirty Joke Teller (3 years-in-a-row). Can she buy you a drink?
