Live music continues, at Blo Back Gallery, in Pueblo, Colorado!
There’s something about Shadow Basket that feels almost mythic. Maybe it’s their origins—the windswept, salt-licked isolation of San Juan Island, WA, where time moves at its own pace. Maybe it’s their sound—moody folk colliding with raw, dynamic rock, something between a whisper and a wildfire. Whatever it is, this five-piece outfit has been quietly reshaping the indie landscape, trading in the kind of atmospheric, soul-stirring music that lingers long after the last note fades.
Their debut album, BUNGALOW (2021), is a fever dream of fables and place-based memories, a soundtrack for the moments you swear you’ve lived before. One track might unfurl like an intimate campfire confession, the next might crash in like a storm, all crashing drums and droning riffs that stretch toward some unnamable horizon. At their core, Shadow Basket isn’t just a band—they’re an experience, a sonic journey through nostalgia, longing, and the inescapable pull of the unknown.
Live, They’re Something Else Entirely
Recorded, they’re hypnotic. Live, they’re transcendent. A Shadow Basket show is a full-body immersion, where ethereal harmonies meet pounding rhythms and drone-laced jams, pulling the audience into a swirling haze of sound and emotion. It’s folk music with teeth, indie rock with a beating heart. As The Bay Bridged put it, “Within their music is connection and care, which makes it all the more compelling.”
And now, Live music in Pueblo, Colorado at Blo Back Gallery is about to become ground zero for one of the most immersive live performances this town has seen.
Get your tickets, find your groove, and prepare to be swept away by the sonic magic of Shadow Basket. Because Blo Back Gallery is the place to be for Live Music in Pueblo Colorado.
Restless Souls & Grunge Nostalgia: Inaiah Lujan & The Hardly Nevers Take Over Live Music at Blo Back Gallery, in Pueblo, Colorado.
Pueblo, buckle up—because on [March 14th 2025, Blo Back Gallery is about to crackle with the kind of raw, unfiltered energy that live music is all about. Before Shadow Basket takes the stage, two wildly compelling acts will set the night ablaze: the ever-evolving Inaiah Lujan and the angst-fueled dreamers, The Hardly Nevers.
Inaiah Lujan: The Shape-Shifting Songsmith
If you’ve followed Pueblo’s live music scene, you already know Inaiah Lujan as a creative force that refuses to be pinned down. A founding member of The Haunted Windchimes, he’s spent years crafting melodies that feel like they were unearthed from some forgotten vinyl crate—timeless, warm, and full of soul. But don’t expect just another folk set. Inaiah’s sonic journey has wound through punk rock, sample-based electronica, vintage doo-wop, and lo-fi basement musings. One moment, his voice croons like a ‘50s balladeer; the next, it’s weathered and world-weary, carrying the weight of every dive bar confession and late-night revelation.
His music isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about reinvention. With each project, each song, each note, Lujan peels back another layer, revealing something fresh, yet deeply familiar. Expect a performance that is intimate yet electrifying, as he bends and blends genres with the ease of an artist who has nothing to prove—but everything to say.
The Hardly Nevers: The Soundtrack to Every Late-Night Drive
If you’ve ever scribbled lyrics in the margins of your notebook, blasted ‘90s alt-rock in your bedroom, or found catharsis in a three-minute song, The Hardly Nevers are your band. Fronted by Chela Lujan (yes, that Lujan—music clearly runs in the family), their sound fuses grunge-pop hooks with diary-entry vulnerability. There’s something irresistibly raw about their music—like it was pulled straight from a mixtape you made for someone who never listened.
With Charlie Hayden locking down the low end on bass and Tim Kelly pounding out rhythms that feel both chaotic and precise, The Hardly Nevers channel the angst and melody of ‘90s greats—think Mazzy Star meets The Breeders with a splash of Veruca Salt. Their songs are gritty yet sugar-coated, sentimental but tough, like the last good summer before everything changed.
A Night for the Books
These two bands are more than just openers—they’re essential. Inaiah Lujan brings the soul, The Hardly Nevers bring the fire, and together, they set the perfect stage for Shadow Basket’s sonic journey.
So grab your friends, grab your tickets, and get down to Blo Back Gallery for a night that promises heart, grit, and pure unfiltered sound
