TOUR BLOG DAY 5: DENVER

Hello everyone!
Here’s a taste of life on the road for Mat…
8:30 AM: The bus stops. This means we’ve arrived at our destination for the day. Today’s destination - the Ogen Theatre in Denver, CO. Mat has a radio interview in an hour so we all hurry off the bus to grab quick showers at the hotel.
9:30 AM: Post shower. Mat and a couple of his bands members (I swear I’ll introduce everyone to the band in tomorrow’s video) played an impromptu acoustic performance in the hotel lobby. The people working the front desk were thrilled, to say the least.
9:40 AM: We were then picked up by Ray and driven to Boulder to KCBO 93.7. The radio station was awesome, seemed to have a lot of history behind it.
11:30 PM: Mat played an acoustic performance over the air, “Nothing Left To Lose” and “Closer To Love”. Both sounded great.
1:00 PM: Lunch. Yum. We were hungry.
2:00 PM: Mat plays a solo acoustic performance at radio station KALC. 2 songs plus interview.
3:30 PM: Mat arrives back at the bus and gets prepared for soundcheck.
4:00 PM: Soundcheck.
5:00 PM: Soundcheck ends.
6:30 PM: Dinner. One of the band members made a recommendation to eat at a place up the street called Potager. So good. This restaurant now comes highly recommended from Mat, the rest of the band, and myself. If you’re in the Denver area you have to be sure and check it out.
8:00 PM: Showtime. Mat added new intro music to walk out to for this show, the ending of “City and Black & White”.
12:00 AM: The bus leaves Denver headed for Omaha, NE. Day off tomorrow.
Was anyone at the show? How was it? Did you like the intro music? The show went great again tonight (of course)! Stay tuned for Denver’s tour blog video!
