The Decemberists at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

The American indie Rockers, hailing from Portland Oregon, we could only be talking about the amazing band – The Decemberists, these guys are known for their wonderful music that stretches across many genre's from their upbeat, positive pop sound to full powerful ballads.. they have it all! And along with their genre bending, they are also a very talented bunch working on various instruments, making them a pleasure to see live in concert!

The Decemberists are; Colin Meloy (lead vocals, guitar, principal songwriter), Chris Funk (guitar, multi-instrumentalist), Jenny Conlee (piano, keyboards), Nate Query (bass), and John Moen (drums).

Through their niche and beautiful sound, they have developed a story telling approach that brings to mind many ways of Irish Folk music, yet their lyrics are more on the Rock side. At their live shows you can expect to see them play instruments such as accordion, keyboards, and upright bass. Along with this they often get the crowd involved and most often for the encore – so get yourself ready to join in!

"My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist" "The Mariner's Revenge Song" "The Sporting Life" "The Tain" "Odalisque" "The Rake's Song" "16 Military Wives" Valerie Plame" "Yankee Bayonet" "Shankill Butchers" – these are just some of their best loved songs and each one showcases them in a different light. They sure know how to play around with their sound and always leave their fans guessing what style will come out next!

As each and every year has proven to be another great one for The Decemberists – with a new album out NOW and dates booked up – 2018 is shaping up to follow in the same footsteps!! Come and be amazed this Spring!
