What happened

It doesn’t take much to convince Coloradans to turn up to a music festival.

Why it matters

Especially not one with a history of mingling national acts with home-state indie darlings the way the Bluebird Music Festival, which happens this weekend in Boulder, is known to do.

Common ground

We’ve also got a cool blend of theater and literature, a brand new restaurant week and a bluegrass bash on the Western Slope, all below.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
