One of Denver’s most beloved jam bands, Lotus, will be making a stop in Denver to play at Red Rocks on September 8, and they will be bringing special guests EOTO and Emancipator! All the performers have strong ties to Colorado, so the masses will be out early, tie-dye in full effect, and the typical Lower South lot party will surely start early as the sounds of Grateful Dead and Phish echo out of beat up car stereo systems, some of which will have driven all the way across the country for the night!

The show will start at 7:30, so get there early to catch Emancipator’s violin-driven beats and EOTO’s non-stop improv marathon before the headliners take the stage for two sets! Lotus has been around for years now, and their consistent touring schedule and never-ending innovation have taken them to the top of the Jamtronica scene, headlining festivals around the country alongside other genre mainstays, such as STS9 and the Disco Biscuits.

Led by Mike Rempel’s fluttery and soaring guitar leads, and backed by Chuck Morris and Mike Greenfield’s spot-on drum section, Lotus can sometimes jam upwards of 20 minutes without breaking a sweat, and seeing them function as a well-polished musical machine has always been one of my favorite experiences. If you are unfamiliar with the band, it’s about time you check them out! For more information on the show, check out Red Rocks website for all the details!
