Musical Group Paper Bird comes to Boulder on June 16th (Photo courtesy of James Holden)

As the summer season- and the heat, rain, and various other types of extreme weather that come along with this time of year in Colorado- kick off, downtown Boulder evening entertainment is getting into full swing as well. Bands on the Bricks provides live music every Wednesday night from 7-9 p.m., ranging from the folksy Colorado band Paper bird on June 16th (tonight!) to Funkiphino, a funk group playing on the 18th of August. New this year for Band on the Bricks is the addition of a beer garden run by Boulder Draft House, so you can work on a frosty one while watching everyone who's already done so get their groove on.

Full schedule of musical guests is available by clicking here. Bands on the Bricks takes place on the 1300 block of Pearl Street. Enjoy!
