The War and Treaty and the Best Concerts in Denver This Week

While this post previously listed Black Belt Eagle Scout's stop at Larimer Lounge on Tuesday, April 4, the concert had to be postponed. "Due to inclement weather, Black Belt Eagle Scout is unable to make it to Denver for tonight's show. We're working to reschedule the show and will have more details shortly. All tickets will be valid for the new date," the band wrote in a statement.

Thankfully, there's plenty more to look forward to:

The War and Treaty will fill the room with soul at the Bluebird Theater on Friday, April 7, while Adam Deitch (from Lettuce, Break Science and BTTRFLY Quintet) is having a release party for his new solo album at Meow Wolf's Perplexiplex on Saturday, April 8.
