KARL DENSON'S TINY UNIVERSE 8/27/21

Friday, August 27th - Karl Denson's Tiny Universe lit up the Railyard stage for the last show there this summer. The way things are going, we feel grateful to have any shows at all. This was probably the 5th time I've seen these guys and it's always a funky pleasure. Towards the end, Karl begged us "white people" to please talk some sense into our "crazy relatives." The clown generating bubbles from a machine was a nice touch, although technically not part of the show. Jen Faust, who long ago relocated to Telluride, can be seen right there up front, and birthday girl Ana Padilla was also spotted. I dare say a good time was had by all, but that always seems to be the case with Karl D.
