If you’re a Nuggets fan, you might have been at Ball Arena. If you’re a Turnpike fan, you might have been out at Red Rocks. If you’re a Rockies fan, well, tough luck. If you were at The Grizzly Rose on Friday night, you could have watched the overtime thriller on the big screen and listented to Nathan Dean & The Damn Band from Phoenix, Arizona.
NDATDB played multiple sets that highlighted their original music and a wide spectrum of covers. Running with no setlist, Nathan Dean & The Damn Band’s plan was combining good-timin’ anthems and drinking songs. NDATDB started with their original tune, Cheap Liquor, and kept the energy up with Merle Haggard’s I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink, and A-Aron Watson’s Run Wild Horses, and George Strait’s Troubador.
NDATDB incorporated solid covers of 90’s tunes with Chattahoochee, Fishing in the Dark, God Bless Texas, Guitars and Cadillacs, and added country classics such as The Fireman, Good Ol’ Boys, and Tulsa Time.
Other tunes included Toes, Good Time, Take It Easy, Drinking Problem, Cover Me Up, Long Hot Summer Day, and their original When I’m Gone.
The Outlaw Nathan Dean on guitar and vocals, was supported by Bill (I-have-hot-friends) Bogan on his Black Beauty drums and backing vocals, Ty (I-know-all-the-songs) Thompson on guitar, and Chris (Let’s-have-some-onion-rings-and-watch-TV) Duke on bass. Friends and family of NDATDB flew in from Chicago, IL, and Lincoln, NE, to catch the show.
That’s my kind of bar, that’s my kind of party. Get cooking with Nathan Dean & The Damn Band at nathandean.net.
