We made our annual pilgrimage to see Pretty Lights this past weekend at Red Rocks. What has become a tradition for the Colorado resident, he managed to play two back to back sold out shows once again at the famed venue. Every year we have had a chance to cover Pretty Lights and every year his creativity has taken it to a whole new level. This year was no exception, in what has become a regular theme nowadays for many artist, The Colorado Symphony was called into duty to provide an extra dose of musical bliss. Never one to shy away from creating something organic with his music Pretty Lights aka Derek Vincent Smith once again wowed the crowd with three different sets, something that has never been done before. A solo set followed by a set with a live band, culminating with a set with the symphony. Colorado's own once again proved why he has become a staple in the EDM scene and we are glad to call him our own. The evening got started by energetic sets from Mikey Thunder and one of our favorites DJ Ginger Perry.
