High 5 will play a free show at Alma’s Only Bar on Friday, Jan. 31. The band plays funky, jazz-infused groove-grass, which band member Levi Corrigan said is inspired by “the free-spirited, open-minded, jam-inducing mountain lifestyle.” Corrigan said to expect “an original, spontaneous, light-hearted, energy-filled evening, changing from song to song, much like the weather in Colorado.” The free show starts at 9:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.almasonlybar.com.

Friday, Jan. 31

The Goat Soup & Whiskey Tavern in Keystone brings Disco Floyd to town on Friday, Jan. 31. It started as an idea for a single show: Why not do a funky take on Pink Floyd? After five years of ups and downs, the band has arrived at the most solid and talented lineup in its history with the addition of a fat horn section and two keyboard players and a contagious, positive vibration. The music starts at 9 p.m., and there’s a $5 cover. Visit http://www.soupandwhiskey.com/events for more information.



Oakhurst plays the Snake



Denver-based quintet Oakhurst will play the Snake River Saloon in Keystone on Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1. Take a string band and swap out the banjo player for a groovy drummer and you’re well on your way to understanding the sound of Oakhurst. The band spikes traditional bluegrass with rock ’n’ roll and a kamikaze rhythmic sensibility. That danceable concoction, along with three-part harmonies and city-billy swagger keeps the band in high demand. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday. Doors open at 4 p.m., and the music starts at 9:30 both nights. Call (970) 468-2788 for more information.

Birthday bash for Arnie at The Goat

The Goat will host the Arnie J. Green Birthday Bash on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Green grew up in Vallejo, Calif., where the Bay Area’s secular and religious music inspired him to his life’s calling.

His work with other musicians has varied, taking him from the New Orleans blues of the Subdudes to the Grateful Dead greatness of Shakedown Street and Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band.
