Boy Hits Car at Herman’s Hideaway, Denver, CO 081814

I think we have a new annual tradition…Boy Hits Car at Herman’s Hideaway! It was another fantastic show, and I think the new songs share plenty of that energy from when the band was just getting their start a few years ago. Keep it up, boys, and I can’t wait to work with you again in Denver! Don’t forget about my personal favorite: As I Watched The Sun Fuck The Ocean. What can I shoot

XFactor1 and Boy Hits Car at Herman’s Hideaway, Denver, Colorado 050913 by Jason Claypool

I think we have a new annual tradition…Boy Hits at has been so long since I discovered Boy Hits Car, and have waited and waited and waited for a tour and a Denver date. Well, my wish finally came true, and they came to town on the Taproot tour, and just tore up the Denver crowd at Herman’s Hideaway on 050913. I emailed the band, and they were gracious enough to hook me up with

Easter Sunrise Service 2013 at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, Colorado 031313 by Jason Claypool

What a great event! Over 11,000 turned out to what is normally a 9,000+ capacity facility for this year’s Easter Sunrise Service, and the beauty and grace of Red Rocks Amphitheater gets a bit of the credit for that. The weather was perfect with no breeze, clear moonlit skies, and a steady 30F until the sun came up. We bundled up, but there was plenty of warmth and brotherhood to go around! It was literally

Adam Carolla Mangria signing at Applejack Wine & Spirits, Denver / Wheat Ridge, Colorado 030213 by Jason Claypool

Adam Carolla stopped by Applejack Wine and Spirits for a signing for his new Mangria line of sangria, before a show on the Adam and Drew Tour at the Paramount that night. I’m guessing there were about 500 people in line, each one of them Adam’s biggest fan from his work on KROQ as Mr. Birchum, Loveline on MTV, Loveline on the radio, The Man Show, best-selling books, The Hammer movie, vintage car racing, home-improvement

Rickoli’s Brewery Grand Opening 112812

What a great new nanobrewery, and it’s so close in Wheat Ridge! I think it’s going to be my new favorite beer hangout! I got in touch with Rick, and knew how much this town was rooting for him as he strikes out on his own. He was happy to show me around the works a couple weeks before the opening, and I just love the gas-fired 3-tiered keggle operation, and the 100 gal. MiniBrew

Winger at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 120112

Well, I’ve seen Winger 4 times in my life, and this had to be the best, because I was taking pictures as a pro! Who would have thought that the band that got grief for being a bit cheesy so long ago is really the last band standing with the most musical talent, the least drama, is still putting out new music, has a huge influence in the classical and symphony community, and still puts

Anthony’s Chevelle, Loading Up For Bandimere, Denver, Colorado 101312

Anthony’s Chevelle 101312 by Jason Claypool. I haven’t gotten to play around with shooting a car for a while, and I couldn’t help myself catching these shots while Anthony was loading up his car for a race the next day at Bandimere! Anthony showed me around his garage a few weeks ago, and I was just blown away by the effort he has sunk into his cars. I saw his upholstered, diamond-plated bar that he

Skid Row at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 081812

I love the Grizzly Rock more and more with every show! It is just the perfect fit for any rock show in Denver. The lighting and sound are just stellar, and complemented Skid Row so perfectly. Seeing Rachel Bolan, Dave “The Snake” Sabo, Scotti Hill, Rob Hammersmith after all these years, sounding as great as ever, was just incredible. And Johnny Solinger on vocals? Pulling off those metal screams from the songs off Slave To
