Denver Restaurant Week features Champagne Tiger with French American cuisine
It is time to enjoy some delicious restaurants around the Denver metro area for Denver Restaurant Week that kicks off on Friday. There are more than 300 restaurants to enjoy from March 7 through March 16.
The Champagne Tiger is a combination of French and American food that will make your mouth water. There are some foods you have to try when you visit.
"Wealthy Oysters from Cape Cod, Massachusetts," Chris Donato, Owner of Champagne Tiger said. "They are salty and briney. They are medium and small size. They are really delicious. You also have to try our Mortadella Melt. It is made with Tempesta Mortadella from Chicago. It is a rich and decadent sandwich."
With each meal, it is designed to give you a flavorful experience.
"I hope you get a sense of nostalgia for the food," Josh Hood, Chef for Champagne Tiger. "Hopefully, it hits some sort of points of your inner childhood, where you are coming from or local things that are special to Denver."
While you enjoy a meal, you can enjoy a show. They have pasta and piano nights every Wednesday, fried chicken and jazz nights every Thursday, and drag brunch every Sunday. This space is welcome to everyone.
"It is a celebratory, joyous atmosphere that kind of celebrates the queer community," Donato said. "Everybody is invited. The food kind of matches the amazing nature of the show."
When the summer arrives, you can enjoy their firepits, fountains, and some cool shade under the cabanas. This is set to open in May.

Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra: Meet Violist and Pianist Sabrina Lloyd
Sabrina Lloyd is a versatile musician who has been playing the viola in the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra since 2012 as both a section violist and subbing as an assistant principal violist. Compared to the violin, the viola has a deeper and warmer sound, and is tuned to a lower-range. It's even often referred to as the alto clef instrument. Lloyd loves the lower range of the viola because it's less likely to squeal like the violin. She came from a musical family, with her mother being a violinist and her dad being a pianist and vocalist. Her mother taught her how to play the violin from the age of 4 and encouraged her and her sister to play the viola so they could play it in case there was no other violist in a performance. She also took piano lessons with her dad beginning at age 7. She said her dad had a more hands-off approach than her mom did, noting that it was a lot more casual. She then made the full switch to viola at age 16 with a new mentor, but said it was a gradual transition, and she was still playing solo violin repertoire before the switch, just because it was more abundant and fun. Although she'd taken violin lessons for several years, her first time playing in an orchestra was when she was in junior high. She also played in chamber music groups with her family, both at church and as a professional ensemble. Lloyd was born in New York, but grew up in northern Utah, where she earned her bachelor's degree at Utah State University in viola performance, as well as a French minor. Because her dad liked to travel, they also lived in California for a little bit, as well as Spain, before heading back to Utah. What brought Lloyd to the Front Range, though, was Colorado State University, where she got her master's in viola performance. She enjoyed participating in music festivals over the summers, like the Aspen Music Festival, in Aspen, Colorado, as well as the Castleman String Quartet program in Boulder, and programs outside of the United States in Quebec, Canada, and Fontainebleau, France. Stephen Wyrczynski was her mentor at Aspen, and his teachings stayed with her for years. Her other teachers — like Margaret Miller from CSU, Erica Eckert from University of Colorado in Boulder, and Russell Fallstad and Brad Ottesen from USU — were also vital in helping her become the musician she is today. The CSO is what brought her and her husband to Cheyennet. They lived in Boulder for a while before he started job hunting. At the time, Lloyd was already in the CSO, so he interviewed for a job in Cheyenne, and the rest is history. In addition to her position in the local orchestra, she also plays in the Fort Collins Symphony, the Greeley Philharmonic and the Wyoming Symphony in Casper. She's been with all of these orchestras for around a decade, as well. A fun fact about Lloyd is that she has perfect pitch, which she says is sometimes a blessing and a curse; when an orchestra is tuning, it can be a blessing, but other things, like singing 'Happy Birthday' in a restaurant, can make it a curse. When Lloyd isn't playing an instrument or singing, she's taking care of her three children or participating in at least two book clubs at any given time, and a fair chunk of her time also goes to being the personnel manager for one of her orchestras. 'It's a hard career path,' said Lloyd. 'The four orchestras I'm in and the personnel manager position are equivalent to one part-time job. Full-time orchestras like the Colorado Symphony pay quite nicely, but there aren't a lot of openings. ... It's very competitive ... but it's also a team sport, you have to work together (with those around you) to create a beautiful musical experience.' Lloyd said that if someone wants to go to school for music, they should be thinking about going to a school where they're on scholarship or won't be in a crazy amount of debt. Despite the hardships, though, Lloyd said she wouldn't have it any other way.

Why Brian Wilson's Net Worth Before His Death Is Lower Than You'd Think
The leader of one of the greatest rock bands of all time has died. At the age of 82, Brian Wilson passed away. The exact cause of death has yet to be determined, but it appears he struggled with a neurocognitive disorder in his later years. He leaves behind an immortal legacy of incredible music, which, although it became popular in the 1960s, has a popularity and intense relevance beyond just one generation. If there was any band that could declare itself the American version of The Beatles, it was Wilson's Beach Boys. Because Wilson was not only a musician but also a writer, it stands to reason that his albums and songs netted him a ton of cash over the years. So, just how much was Brian Wilson worth before his death? What was his net worth?According to Celebrity Net Worth and Parade, Brian Wilson's net worth at the time of his death was $100 million dollars. While that sounds like a lot, just consider that currently, Paul McCartney is worth $1.3 billion. Similarly, Bob Dylan, another contemporary of Wilson's, is closer to $300 million, while Mick Jagger is around $318 million. Obviously, Wilson's net worth could have come from his various albums and the countless times that Beach Boys songs have been used in movies, TV, and commercials. But, when you consider the ubiquity of songs like "Good Vibrations," to say nothing of "California Girls," you'd think this number would be a little bit higher. Here's why it's songwriting royalties alone were certainly reflective of great wealth, but the truth is, it could have been much more. The reason why Wilson's net worth wasn't in the stratosphere is that in 1969, the vast majority of the rights to Wilson's songs were sold to Irving Alamo Music for just $700,00 dollars. This decision was made by Wilson's father, Murray Wilson, and resulted in the company that previously owned the music, Sea of Tunes, becoming very profitable. But not for Wilson. In the 1990s, it was revealed that shady business dealings allowed Wilson to sue for the return of his rights. That didn't happen, but he did get $25 million awarded in damages. Though a subsequent lawsuit from bandmate Mike Love divided up those payments a bit more Of course, $100 million is still nothing to shake a stick at. But, unlike some of his contemporaries, Wilson wasn't rolling in dough from passive income thanks to profits from his songs. Much of his fortune came from his extensive tours, as well as his prolific solo Brian Wilson's Net Worth Before His Death Is Lower Than You'd Think first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025

‘If you're a fascist, then get a Tesla': Neil Young's new album takes potshots Elon Musk
After weighing in behind Bruce Springsteen in his internationally reported takedown of President Trump's government onstage at Manchester Arena last month, this other left-leaning giant of American rock from the 1970s voiced fears that he, having been a consistent critic of Trump, chiefly over the issue of climate-change denial, may face problems regaining entry to his home nation following his European tour this summer. At this febrile moment, one might've expected Young, now 79, and as outspoken as ever – he made headlines last year after apparently refusing to sign up for Glastonbury 2025 on account of its BBC-driven corporatisation (he now appears to be headlining on Saturday night!) – to fill his latest long-player, his 46th studio outing, with polemical rantings, but as any long-standing fan knows, Young remains creatively wilful, and rarely serves up what might be expected of him at a given time. In recent years, he has been deluging the collector's market with archival releases, many of them 'new' old albums which he shelved years ago. In amongst all that, however, interested parties may be forgiven for not having noticed that Young had found a productive groove with a reconstituted line-up of his beloved, amps-on-11 backing band, Crazy Horse, releasing three new records with them, culminating with 2022's Rick Rubin-produced World Record. There, on Chevrolet, this unflagging automobile enthusiast wrung his hands about lusting after a vintage gas-guzzler. Further back, around his investment in a hybrid-electric model Lincoln, he wrote at length about the driver's responsibility to their children's health and survival on 2009's Fork In The Road, and perhaps the most immediately ear-catching moment on Talkin To The Trees arrives on Let's Roll Again, where, against clanging electric guitar chords, he urges America's automobile manufacturing giants, by name – Ford, GM and Chrysler – 'to build us something useful, something that won't kill our kids – come on America, let's roll again…on down the highway'. Alongside that responsible, depoliticised messaging, Young suddenly seems to find it hard to avoid needling at the Trump administration. 'China's way ahead, they're building clean cars,' he adds, knowing the mention of China will not be music to the president's ears. 'C'mon America, let's cover our backs, protect our children,' he goes on, before taking a clear potshot at Elon Musk. 'If you're a fascist, then get a Tesla: if it's electric then it doesn't matter. If you're a democrat: then chase your freedom, get whatever you want and taste your freedom.' Behind those words, of course, Young easily could've ramped up explicit themes of political dissent. Instead, his mind seems to be focused on enjoying the natural wonders of his ranch in Northern California, as well as, in the track Family Life, the domestic happiness he finds surrounded by his children and grandkids as he writes songs, and sings them for their approval, ' and also 'singing for my best wife ever, the best cook in the world' – a great review, indeed, for Darryl Hannah, the movie actor and activist, whom he married in 2018. Though second track Dark Mirage finds his 'new' band The Chrome Hearts – a mutation of his other one of late, Promise of the Real, with master soul keyboardist Spooner Oldham added – squalling into fierce feedback, as Young momentarily dips into lingering anger from his mid-'10s divorce – by and large, The Chrome Hearts are entrusted with summoning the kind of golden country-rock sound usually associated with Young's Harvest series – rustling acoustic guitars, blissful ivory-tinkling topped with Neil's wheezing harmonica, which light up rustic gems like First Fire Of Winter, the exquisite title track and the warm-hearted Thankful, As such, there's so much to enjoy here for long-standing fans – a mellow soundtrack perhaps for the four-wheel pilgrimage down to Glastonbury, with some fittingly thought-provoking messaging on automotive responsibility going forwards. In a week that has seen the passing of two of Young's West Coast peers, it's great to hear him sounding invigorated, domestically happy and creatively on song. Andrew Perry Prior to a brace of covers albums in 2023, it's fair to say that Belfast singer Van Morrison was in his 'late life super-grumpy' phase. Railing against everything from lockdown to scientists, he didn't hold back. My personal favourite from this era was a 2021 song called Why Are You on Facebook?, which contained the lines 'Why do you need second-hand friends? … Get a life.' And this from the sage who gave us Into The Mystic. Well, Van the Man is back doing what he does best. Remembering Now, his 47th album, is 14 songs of beautiful and reflective music addressing aging, romance and a sense of yearning for the landscapes and landmarks that made us who we are. It's 64 minutes of soulful blues and country folk, augmented by string arrangements by Fiachra Trench, who wrote the string parts for The Pogues' Fairytale of New York and worked with Morrison on his 1989 classic Avalon Sunset, to which Remembering Now can easily be compared. Folk star Seth Lakeman adds violin to three tracks. The album opens with Down to Joy, which soundtracked Kenneth Branagh's 2021 film Belfast and was nominated for a 'best original song' Oscar (Morrison lost out to Billie Eilish's Bond theme). Once In A Lifetime Feelings is one of three tracks with lyrics by Don Black, who's written for everyone from Meat Loaf to Michael Jackson. The song finds Morrison driving down to Monte Carlo with 'so much to say' to a loved one. It's fantastic. Stomping Ground sees the 79-year-old pleading to return to Belfast, while the closing nine-minute Stretching Out is simply swooning. The highlight is Haven't Lost My Sense of Wonder, which has touches of the awe that late songwriter Bill Fay saw in the world as he aged. 'Had my fill, 'cause I've been through the mill/ Now I'm saying 'Peace, be still,'' Morrison sings over lavish gospel-tinged soul. Under (hopefully) sunny skies, these songs will sound a treat when Morrison supports Neil Young in Hyde Park next month (along with Yusuf/ Cat Stevens). A lush return to form.
