Two planned concerts in Denver will offer the same music and community as other concerts, but replace the drinks and drugs with “mocktails.” via robharristv
DENVER — Often, concerts and partying are viewed as one and the same, with drugs and alcohol going hand in hand with the music. While that can entice many concertgoers, it can also alienate other music lovers and musicians who want to stay sober.
“I’ve been a musician for as long as I remember. I started playing the guitar when I was 12, and I think I fell into that trap or that image of being a rock star, like the whole sex drugs and rock-and-roll type of lifestyle,” said Javier"El Javi" Gutierrez, one of the musicians slated to perform at the first Sober Sessions concert this weekend.
He hopes it is both a respite for others who are sober and want to return to concert scenes, as well as an inspiration for those who are “sober curious” and want to see others who have given up drugs and alcohol. The venue for the first Sober Sessions concert will be The Phoenix in downtown Denver. Normally, the space is a gym and fitness community for sober individuals , which made for a perfect partnership with concert organizer Music Minds Matter for the event.
