A
pounding summer squall sent musicians and techs scrambling to cover instruments and mixing boards at the 28th annual Breckenridge Brewery Hootenanny in Littleton on July 7, but for the throngs of festivalgoers, the storm was just a chance to dance in the rain and play in the mud. The Hootenanny featured a lineup blending Colorado-appropriate jam, country and folk sounds, including Hard Working Americans, Coral Creek, Billy Strings and Phish co-founder Mike Gordon. The Brewery’s brews no doubt softened the blow of the storm that briefly delayed the festivities. “I’m a Colorado girl, so I’m not scared of a little Mother Nature,” said Stacey McCormick of Arvada, attending her second Hootenanny with her husband Dan. “Just so long as it doesn’t water down my beer.”
