“The future of this band is to take everything we’ve ever done in the past and just do it with our own little twist,” says Rateliff. There are familiar elements of soul and garage rock, but also jazz and folk and even country: the crackling energy on opener “Shoe Boot,” the cathartic sing-along of “Coolin’ Out,” the melancholy folk of the closing title track.

These songs are grounded in old-school soul and r&b but are far too urgent for the retro or revivalist tag. The result is the aptly titled Tearing at the Seams, a vivacious and inventive full-band record, with significant contributions from all eight members of The Night Sweats.

In other words, the Missouri-bred, Denver-based frontman wanted to make the band disappear along with him-out in the middle of the desert at first, and then deep in the woods. I wanted the guys to feel like they were giving something to the project beyond just playing.” But for this new record, I felt like we’d all spent so much time on the road that we should all go off somewhere together. “For the first Night Sweats record, I demo’ed everything up and created most of the parts. Polis said the musicians donating their time to this concert should also be thanked, given the last two years of uncertainty and loss for artists.”For a long time I always had to go off on my own,” says Nathaniel Rateliff of his creative process. The ongoing, music-related efforts to support the victims of the largest wildfire in Colorado history include instrument drives at CU Boulder’s Macky Auditorium, concerts and online fundraisers, among others. But the high estimate seems more likely, given the success of similar fundraising efforts for victims of the devastating fire. Morris isn’t sure how much the concert will raise, with estimates anywhere between $5,000 and $100,000. Polis and Hernandez said survivors are still navigating a maze of insurance, federal and foundation assistance, and other rebuilding hurdles, but that assistance is still available at and /marshallfire. 30 in Louisville and Superior, leaving roughly as many families homeless in a matter of hours.

Driven by high winds, the Marshall fire burned through more than 1,000 structures on Dec. The state is “thrilled” to partner with Denver-based promoter AEG Presents and Community Foundation to help victims of the fire, Polis said. More performers will be announced in the coming weeks, Morris said, and the show will be hosted by Nick Forester, host of the nationally syndicated Boulder show e-town and member of the influential Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize. The noon press conference, which featured a masked Rateliff behind Polis, also included remarks from Chuck Morris, former chairman of AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, and Tatiana Hernandez, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder.Īrtists scheduled to contribute an intimate song or two, practice session or other performance are Matthews (solo) Lyle Lovett Steve Miller The Avett Brothers Amos Lee Old Crow Medicine Show Michael Franti (solo) Brittany Howard (of Alabama Shakes, solo) The Motet (a Colorado band) Ryan Tedder (of Colorado’s OneRepublic) Trey Anastasio (Phish) Big Head Todd (Colorado) The California Honeydrops Lake Street Dive Leftover Salmon (Colorado) and Wynona Judd, with her husband, Cactus Moser.
