Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Be sure to twist and shout your way to, well, Twist and Shout Records, 2508 East Colfax Avenue, to see an in-store performance by ex-Drive By Trucker Jason Isbell. Isbell — possibly the most soulful white boy around — is a whiskey-drenched phenomenon of a musician who will play a free set this evening at 6 p.m. If you can’t make it, or think record stores are just too retro, then go see him open for Cracker later on tonight at the Bluebird Theater. --Gene Davis
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
