Paper Route in Denver

Fantastic show by Paper Route at the Marquis Theatre last night! Fantastic!

Audrye Sessions opened with a really short set. Ryan and Mike were friendly, stopping to chat with people after.

Then it was Paper Route. They did great on "Carousel" and all the others, but the treat came at the end, when the audience started chanting for them to play one more. It was already right up against curfew on a Sunday night, so the band said they'd pack up their stuff from the club and meet people outside at their trailer and play an acoustic set in the parking lot. And they came through! Standing inside the trailer with fans singing along in a semicircle around the back, they played "Are We All Forgotten" with acoustic guitar, harmonica, xylophone, accordion, snare. It was just drums and acoustic guitar for "Second Chances," (a request from a megafan), because the other band members had to finish packing up all their equipment from the club and getting it out the door to their van. The megafans sang along, including the solo female vocal part. Sounded beautiful.
