After a bit of a deluge put a damper on Monday evening’s TajMo concert, Tuesday looked much more promising until a big thunderstorm came swooping down toward the Botanic Gardens. Fortunately, after the staff made an attempt to clear out the bowl (which only really ended up allowing the more daring souls to grab better seats as VIPs headed for shelter), the storm stayed to the south and the show went on pretty much as planned.

Never miss a Sunday show is a mantra of the Widespread Panic faithful, and boy did it hold true this year. Sunday shows are always fun, they’ve got sunshine, a beach party vibe, and ear-to-ear smiles on 10,000 people packed into The Rocks. It’s one of the best days of the year, and yet again, the boys did not disappoint!

Each year, more than 10,000 music lovers, many of them repeat offenders, congregate in one of the most picturesque box canyons known to man, Telluride Colorado. This unique town has been host to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival since its inception in 1974. That’s 45 years of perfecting a balance of bluegrass, hippies, outdoor enthusiasts.
