Colorado fans, and everyone that trained, planed, and auto mobiled!! What an epic night Red Rocking together for our first Summer Stop... Some of the loudest singing ever, all under the stars with the moon hanging over head... just electric. Thanks for making last night an unforgettable one. See you next year! Next stop Mountain Jam Festival and then Wolf Trap. Wanna experience it again or missed out? You can watch all of last night’s show here on Facebook or on nugs.tv (and their YouTube) for free! 📸 Mike Smith

We're incredibly stoked to share that we've partnered with nugs.net to host all the audio from our live shows going forward, including all our festivals and Summer Stops! In addition, we've been digging through the ‘patch archives to share some of our show history with you. The first batch of shows - including one dating back to 2002! - are available right now for streaming and download with more “fresh from the archive" releases coming soon. You can dive in here: https://2nu.gs/Dispatch To celebrate, Nugs will be live streaming our first summer stop at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre on Sunday, June 9th at 8:30PM MT.

Let's go Boston Bruins! From our TD Garden Boston show just after the last time they won... let's do it again 🏆 🎥: Reinaldo Dejesus

We're throwing a kick-off party for our first Summer Stop at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre the day before the show on Saturday, June 8th from 5-9PM! We've partnered with Park Burger - RiNo in downtown Denver to host the event and will be releasing our first ever beer collab with them and New Belgium Brewing. $1 of every pour will go to supporting Calling All Crows. It'll be available at all Park Burger locations on release day and after. There will be live music, a graffiti artist, Dispatch tunes playing, giveaways, and more. RSVP below so we can gauge interest. It'll be first come, first entry. We know Dispatch shows tend to be places where you catch up with old friends, party with your regular friends, or share an evening of music with someone special; especially considering many are traveling in from all over for Red Rocks the day after. We wanted to make something special to celebrate that and hope you can make it out.

This version of "Letter to Lady J" off our new live album Live 18 was really special... we picked this one from our St. Augustine show (the video is from Philly). It was our last night with Raye Zaragoza opening up the tour, and our last show before some time off for a few weeks. We brought out everyone for this song, including every member of Nahko And Medicine For The People. Couldn't have thought of a better way to close out our live record than how we would close out most nights on the tour! 🎥: Mike Smith

Our new live record, Live 18, is out everywhere! Take a listen: http://dispatchmusic.com/music/live18 It’s also now available on CD through the Dispatch merch store, and the first 500 copies are signed: http://dispatchmerch.com Live 18 features 20 songs, new and old, from 2018 across the states and at different venues. A few songs feature some of the incredible friends we made along the way that opened up most nights... Raye Zaragoza, and Nahko And Medicine For The People. As an added bonus, we included a unique live recording of "Here We Go” from our acoustic tour stop at the Troubadour in LA in late 2017 featuring Rashawn Ross (you may know him from Dave Matthews Band). His trumpet solos brought the house down and we felt it too awesome not to share! We've been cooking Live 18 up for the last 6 months or so - listening through all 34 of last summer's concerts - and we think we pulled together some of the best takes just in time for the warm vibes that are sure to come this summer. We hope you enjoy, and that this gets you as fired up for our 2019 shows and festivals as we are. Crank it up!

#tbt to our DC show from last year. It poured all day and night you all still rocked Merriweather Post Pavilion! Any show around there is always big... that's why we had to include it as one of our only 3 Summer Stops this year. Can't wait to hit up Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA with Anderson East next month. Who's coming?
