Sturgill Simpson’s alter ego, Johnny Blue Skies, is gearing up for an epic night at the Red Rocks. The man’s going to be taking over the iconic Morrison, Colorado, venue for a few days.
It could be a perfect excuse to take a fall vacation, middle of the week, nothing else to do, but be at this beautiful venue, taking in some incredible country music. Here’s the deal with these performances: Sturgill Simpson‘s going to be on stage for 2 days, September 16 and 17. The promise is that each set is going to be unique. That means that it can be worth it to spend the beginning of next week with this man at the Red Rocks.
The Makings of an Epic Performance: Sturgill Simpson at the Red Rocks
There are truly a ton of elements that are going to be “at play” within this performance. The alter ego element and the fact that Sturgill Simpson is going all in on the new name as part of his latest release, Passage du Desir. The album itself has a backstory that fits into the weirdness that Sturgill Simpson is taking fans on. Part of the record was actually taped at the Abbey Road studios in London. That’s not to say that it features Beatles-like beats, but there’s some of that aura at least. You want to be up to date with those songs because you just never know which day they’ll feature heavily on the set list.
One Day or Two Day Pass to See Sturgill Simpson at the Red Rocks?
This is the question that you need to be asking yourself. Do you want to be at both sets? If that’s the case, then keep in mind there’s no camping at this venue, and in all likelihood, you’re going to have a general admission pass. Why is that relevant? Well, the spot that you were able to claim for the first day doesn’t carry over to the next one. That could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how it went for you. It also means that you’re going to need to make an effort to arrive early at this venue on both days. That can be a challenge if you’re not staying near the Red Rocks. Staying near the venue might be something worth looking into, even if you’re a local. It just makes it a lot easier to be able to find your way to the spot early to claim your land right next to the stage, potentially.
