On Monday night, The Sound Garage at Blood Brothers Brewing felt like Lou Barlow’s living room, if he lived at a brewery. This was my first show at this intimate venue and it was a fantastic experience. I already knew the beer was good but I thought the space was cozy for a show like this.

It seems Lou Barlow was as surprised as I was to find out Lou Barlow was playing in Fruita, a small agricultural town on the trailing end of Western Colorado’s Grand Valley, literally halfway between Denver and Salt Lake City.
