Kipori Woods Band plays Intrinzik! Get ready for a rocking night of some serious blues! $10 Admission at the Door. Kipori Woods is a young blues more...0 guitarist rich with the wisdom of ages. Early in his promising career, Kipori shows the maturity and control of a seasoned veteran and has the guitar chops to match. Music became a part of Kipori's life at an early age. His grandfather "Luscious" Lloyd Lambert, the legendary New Orleans bass player who worked with the likes of Ray Charles, Little Richard, Danny Barker and Doc Cheatham, raised him. From Lambert, Kipori learned the ins and outs of the music business. Kipori's first taste of the stage came while working with renowned gospel greats like the Zion Harmonizers and Raymond Myles. A funk outfit, Kipori Funk, Later let the budding artist stretch his talents in other directions, but the blues were always calling. "I've always been influenced by the blues," says Kipori, but it wasn't until my grandfather passed in 1996 that I really got serious about playing the blues." Taking his cues from masters like B.B. King, Albert King and New Orleans legend Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Kipori's sound blends blues classics and modern flavors. His fretwork is at turns fierce and playful. His songs range from blues ballads to jumping firetorms of sound. His vocals flow strong from a well that belies his age and often take clever, unexpected turns. On stage, Kipori is an engaging entertainer with boundless energy. He moves as though his guitar were a part of him, becoming one with the audience in an escalating dance of seduction. Kipori taunts, teases, and tickles the crowd until they beg for more. When Kipori and the band get grooving, the whole club shimmies with exuberance.

Intrinzik and Blue Mesa Float Center are extremely proud to present Reed Mathis and Electric Beethoven! $12 Advance/$15 DOS. Tickets available at more...0 Intrinzik (970)615-7280 and Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reed-mathis-and-electric-beethoven-tickets-44436288134 While on tour with various projects over the past few years, bassist extraordinaire Reed Mathis spent his spare time rearranging Beethoven (Symphonies 3 and 6), recording each newly reimagined movement with a long and impressive “who’s-who” list of his musical brethren, including Phish’s Page McConnell and Mike Gordon, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, the Barr Brothers, Robert Walter and Galactic’s Stanton Moore. The resulting double album, “Beathoven,” was released September 2016 on Royal Potato Family records. When imagining what it would be like to tour these Beethoven masterpieces, Mathis rearranged his rearrangements a second time, this time welding Beethoven’s motifs and melodies to modern-era dance beats, with plenty of waypoints for the musicians to jump off into heavy, full-band improvisations. It’s jamtronica with Beethoven — hence, the world’s first CDM (“classical dance music”) band. While the album’s many special guests will show up at various shows along the way, to tour the album for the next two years, Mathis assembled his very own dream team: Jay Lane (Primus, Ratdog) on drums, Todd Stoops (RAQ / Kung Fu) on keyboards, Cochrane McMillan (Tea Leaf Green) on percussion and laptop, and Clay Welch — a young guitar phenom who literally grew up studying Mathis as a bass player while following Mathis’ then-band, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, from show to show as a fan.

Denver based, Alt-Country Band, 5 & Dimers play Intrinzik for raucous night of quality country music! $10 Admission at the more...0 Door. https://www.facebook.com/5andDimers/videos/703244539845551/ In a city known more for its pop imports and jam bands, Jeff Rady (pedal steel) and Dustin Devine (lead guitar and vocals) created 5 & Dimers on a whim, but for good reason: they wrote some good country songs and had no band to play them. Dive into the history of the Denver music scene and you’ll find a tradition of not only great country music but a long line of country players. From the late 60s all throughout the 80s country music was a featured genre up and down the Front Range: Honky Tonks ruled the roosts and a pedal steel player could find a gig 6 nights a week. With history behind them and songs in hand, 5 & Dimers booked studio time at Macy Sound Studios, a Denver institution, and recorded 8 songs straight to tape in two days with a patchwork band scrounged from late night phone calls to secret experts and diamond-in-the-rough talent found in local dive bars. Born from a shoe string budget and limited time, the record is not only raw and authentic, but sounds like a throwback to how country records were made in the mid-1960s. 5 & Dimers is a celebration of that golden era mixing a blend of vintage country and old school rock-and-roll with just a hint of psychedelia.
