Garth Brooks takes over Ball Arena on September 4th, but the month’s real character emerges in the smaller rooms where blues guitarist Christone Kingfish Ingram plays the Bluebird, electronic producers Cosmic Gate and Gareth Emery command dance floors, and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra performs at Boettcher Concert Hall. Comedy, Latin music, and rock bands round out a calendar that rewards exploring beyond the marquee names.
