Decided to make this goal about checking off venues because I realized I had mostly been going to concerts at the same venues and realized I should mix it up!
Challenge was to go to a 10 venues. I also found out I do not take any photos at concerts as they always suck, so makes for a boring post, but it’s here. It’s real. It happened.
Venues:
Bellco Theater – Cheetah Girls (first concert ever and if any one was curious Hannah Montana opened for them) (I’ve actually seen others at this venue, but I just really wanted to get that Cheetah Girls concert out into the open)
Pepsi Center – Cher (VIP tix and met the hottest Argentinian man and yes he was gay)
Red Rocks Ampitheatre – Bastille (Last one I saw, grew up next to red rocks so have seen plenty of bands here)
Soiled Dove Underground – Trace Bundy and Sungha Jung (Also seen Trace Bundy in Fort Collins at Everyday Joes Coffee Shop)
Fillmore Auditorium – Milky Chance (First time being there)
Washington’s – Devotchka (Third wheel on valentine’s day with my brother and his wife)
Ogden Theatre – Murder by Death (Bonding time with the sister-in-law)
Grizzly Rose – Scotty McCreery (Though I am not sure I should count the Rose, as I’m there almost weekly for dancing, but eh I’m adding it here anyway)
Boettcher Hall – Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra Tribute (Not all concerts are head banging events! Sometimes you need to get your symphony on)
Bluebird Theater – Spencer Crandall (This guy right here is basically male me)
Gothic – Aly & AJ (Was going to just go alone since no one wanted to go experience the awesomeness of this duo with me (y’all are lame btw!), but really didn’t want to go by myself so I begged my sister in law to come with me)
And that’s 11 venues. Which when I was talking to people about the concerts they’ve been too it sounded like most people had easily attended concerts at over 20 venues. So I apparently just really suck at going to different concert venues. Either way I did it!

I’m not even sure if I’ve been to ten different venues. I also only saw one show at Red Rocks. Wish I saw more. It was pretty perfect though: John Denver Tribute.

John Denver tribute at red rocks sounds like the best thing ever! And dude I don’t know everytime I’d mention this challenge to people they’d start listing off so many concerts and I was just like how???? Where do find the time and money?!?!

It was pretty great. The guy sounded just like John Denver too. Although, I was sat between my parents and Grandma….And, like, what exactly counts? Saw at least one person perform at my church, saw someone perform when picking my brother up from a youth group camp (I don’t even know if it was like an actual concert or a closing program thing or what anymore). I’ve also seen my brother’s band perform 3 times — once at like a bar, once in a parade where we followed them down the street once we saw them, and once at the lead singer’s wife’s barn. Also, my house. Constantly growing up. I miss being able to listen to my brother practice guitar. I guess like “real” places, 5? (and all but 2 were with my parents, 2 were also with my Grandma…) also, that’s not counting school orchestras. But do musicals count? I’ve seen The Little Mermaid 3 times at 3 different places at 3 different levels in the last 4 years.
