For the past two years, Mike Garson, longtime pianist for David Bowie, has brought his A Bowie Celebration tour to Denver with many musicians who played in Bowie s bands over the years. This year there will be a virtual celebration for what would have been Bowie s 74th birthday, with a massive lineup including Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Perry Farrell, Joe Elliott, Ian Astbury and more, all performing songs by Bowie.
In addition to other online shows, there are a few in-person concerts since COVID restrictions have been relaxed to Level Orange. The Runaway Grooms are at Globe Hall, while Derek Banach and Annie Booth are at Nocturne. Also, Bruce Springsteen tribute Glory Days and Gasoline Lollipops frontman Clay Rose and drummer Adam Perry play on the outdoor stage at Number Thirty Eight. Here s what s happening:

Aside from being a decent human being, wearing your mask and adhering to social distancing rules, there’s no right way to handle what was, in all senses of the word, a devastating year.
The majority of us spent 2020 just trying to get by to entertain ourselves and keep us from crawling up the walls.
