That\u2019s right folks, dust off your dancing shoes.<\/p>\n

Jon Thursday, lead singer for Rowdy Shadehouse, said he is excited to bring his \u201cJames Brown-Style Dance Funk\u201d to Dolores.<\/p>\n

The band, which heralds from Denver, has been playing their unique, high-energy funk for nearly three years, and they have never been to the Dolores River Festival. But, Thursday said he unbelievable excited.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love water and fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reviews of Rowdy Shadehouse talk about how fun the band is, how the band was voted best local band in the Denver area, how Thursday has gravity defying dance moves, how the lyrics can be raunchy, and how impossible it is to not have fun when listening to this band.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing out to see live music is often an unpredictable experience, and every once in a while music fans are fortunate enough to witness an act that leaves you completely speechless and desperate for more. The Rowdy Shadehouse is the definition of that act. An almost disco beat was present, so much so that to not dance felt like a sin nearly as evil as Thursday belt,\u201d wrote Tim Wenger, from The Scoop 303.<\/p>\n

Thursday said those that attend Saturday\u2019s concert will be treated to some of the band\u2019s favorite songs, such as Friction and Velvet Jesus. He also hopes to bring in some new music.<\/p>\n

Thursday said he got into music quite by accident.<\/p>\n

He was always an avid concertgoer and grew tired of being disappointed by band performances. He then was inspired one night by a band.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I started this band and I had never sang before or dance before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And now, singing and dancing is Thursday\u2019s full-time gig.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel very lucky we were able to do this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Those that attend the concert will first be surprised by the way the seven-member band is dressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dress like old-school Van Halen,\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are just down-to-earth, fun-lovin\u201d dudes.\u201d<\/p>\n
