Boyz II Men
Friday, July 22, 8 p.m.
Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, 6350 Greenwood Plaza Boulevard, Englewood
$35-$149.95
With its gorgeous harmonies, Boys II Men made many a teenager swoon during Total Request Live in the 1990s. It may have cleared the path for some wholly untalented boy band types to clog up the airwaves, but we won't hold that against them. The Philadelphia group is mixing it up with the Colorado Symphony tonight.
The Lumineers
Friday, July 22, 8 p.m.
Coors Field, 2001 Blake Street
$68
The Denver-based Lumineers bring their folk rock and Americana stylings to Coors Field. This locally rich ticket also gets you Colorado singer-songwriters Gregory Alan Isakov and Daniel Rodriguez.

Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23, 7 p.m.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 18300 West Alameda Parkway, Morrison

The Dead South
Saturday, July 23, 6 p.m.
Levitt Pavilion Denver, 1380 West Florida Avenue

Canadian outfit the Dead South mixes folk and bluegrass music. Country punkers Lucero and Colorado-born "trashgrass" band the Tejon Street Corner Thieves are also on the bill.

Empower Field at Mile High, 1701 Bryant Street
