Green Lemon 2005 Tour Comes Home to Colorado
Colorado’s own Green Lemon band will return to Colorado for several shows during March as they continue their national tour. Green Lemon kicked off its 2005 tour in January juiced about recent national recognition and they’ve already racked up road warrior status having played to crowds in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina.
The Green Lemon band regularly tours across the country and they played 14 national festivals during the spring & summer of 2004. Recently, they were honored by being named the “New Home Grown Band of the Year” by Leeway’s Home Grown Music Network and being listed as “One of the Top Bands to See Live in 2005” by Jambase.com. The Green Lemon guys were recently featured in the September/October issue of Relix Magazine where they were named the number one band you should know about.
In 2001, the band packed up their gear and moved from Oklahoma to Ft. Collins and they haven’t looked back since. With a loyal following of Lemonheads, they continue to fill venues across the country and expand their reputation as rising stars. “We’ve played some awesome venues all across the United States, on stages where some great bands have performed, but it’s always good to come home to Colorado,” said guitarist Wayne Allen. “The energy of the crowd here is outrageous and it just takes our performance up a notch.”
The Green Lemon bus will roll into Colorado for shows in Steamboat Springs, Ft. Collins and Dillon before going back on the road. Catch the Lemons’ two-night run at The Tugboat in Steamboat Springs on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5 and see what Hittin’ The Note Magazine says “happens when five guys from Oklahoma are pinned down in a collision of futuristic electronic music and the historic roots of dub reggae.”
When South Carolina’s MetroBeat Magazine caught up with this relentlessly touring group in January, they found that, “Green Lemon is hardly your typical jam band. Transcending the usual neo-hippie mix of Grateful Dead, Phish and String Cheese Incident-inspired improvisation, the Colorado-based band delivers a wildly eclectic sound that broadly expands the territory a jam band can cover without sacrificing its core.”
The Tugboat is located at 1860 Mount Werner Road, 970-879-7070. Green Lemon will also be playing Colorado State University in Ft. Collins on March 8th and Dillon Dam Brewing Company in Dillon on March 24th. For a complete schedule, more information about the band and audio samples, visit www.greenlemonband.com.
