17 September 2010:

They had just played an amazing set at the Bluebird Theatre and we waited while they packed up all their gear.  It’s quite a bit, considering the more-than-average instrumentation of the band.  I thought about how I had come to love this band so quickly in so short a time.  I had only first been exposed to them a few months before, but they were already one of my current favorites.  I keep telling everyone I know about Hey Rosetta – not because I’m some kind of music promoter – but probably because I think they write some of the most genuine and unique music I’ve ever experienced.  Each song tells a story, beautiful and heartfelt, perfectly orchestrated and never rushed – they seem to put an amazing amount of emotion into each one.

A few minutes of walking found us in front of a complete stranger’s house on a dark side-street.  The bricks bordering the sidewalk were a perfect spot for a band to sit down and offer their music to the sounds of the night.  We were only able to capture one song that night, a slow one, but one of my favorites for sure.  It was quite surreal, and an off-stage short I’ll never forget.  Enjoy a brief taste of Hey Rosetta! from a sidewalk in Denver, CO.  Photos from that night’s show are below.
