It’s a busy weekend for great live music here in Denver, and not-so-good news for people who weren’t quick to get tickets. Grace Potter/Gavin DeGraw at the Gothic, Trace Bundy in Boulder, and Big Head Todd & the Monsters (at both Herman’s and at Boulder Theater) would have all made this weekend’s picks, but all of those shows are already sold out. (Dang.) However, I’ve managed to scrape and find a few great shows in this weekend’s picks for which tickets are still available. But I’d hurry if I were you.
FRIDAY, DEC. 14
