PUNK IS DAD - Live in Concert Featuring: Boot Gun, SPELLS, Sputnik SloveniaPUNK IS DAD Remembering Dorian De Long Dorian De Long was an educator, activist, and family man, but when not working or enjoying time with his wife and young daughter, Dorian could be found at the Larimer Lounge, 3 Kings, Hi-Dive, the Bluebird Theater, or one of Denver's other live music venues. Following his death of a heart attack in May 2015, a group of Dorian's friends printed t-shirts that featured Buster, the De Long family's Boston Terrier, which Dorian would stencil on stickers and magnets and put up around town. On the back of the shirt the guys printed "PUNK IS DAD," which they took from Dorian's Facebook cover photo. The first Punk Is Dad events were held at the Oriental Theater in May 2016, mainly to occupy the energies of Dorian's family and friends on the first anniversary of his death. Events were held each of the following years until COVID-19 forced the cancellation of Punk Is Dad 5 in 2020.

The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver 1624 Market St, Denver, CO 80202 www.theblackbuzzard.com | Ages 18+ Only The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver is a music venue born out of a drink and a conversation about the old Denver music scene. Created by Kellner Schoenke at their Longmont restaurant, The Black Buzzard drink fused bacon-infused bourbon and ten fidy imperial stout. Chef and Oskar Blues fooderies partner, Jason Rogers, shared a sip with Kellner, and they realized they had both frequented the same closed blues bar on 16th and Market Street, Brendan's. Years later, Brendan's became available, and it seemed like the perfect time to put some music back into the heart of LoDo. They named the venue after the drink that started it all. Today, located blocks away from Coors Field and Union Station, The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver hosts buzz-worthy musicians of all genres from Denver and beyond.
