Widespread Panic Summer Solstice last weekend at Red Rocks, was three days of incredible music under the stars. Chuck Sperry did one of the posters for the shows.
Look up! Let me show you my favorite constellation, the Corona Borealis, the crown of stars, the god of wine and song Dionysus set high in the heavens to express his immortal love for the kind beauty Ariadne.
In some tellings of her story, the shining crown was made by the fiery blacksmith Hephaestus — the ever hardworking artist — and given to Ariadne by Venus because she favored her grace and gentle spirit.
Ariadne lent the bright crown of stars and a fine unbreakable thread to clever Theseus to help him escape the labyrinth after slaying the Minotaur and saving the children of Athens — poor imperfect democracy — from the evil beast.
Lot’s of reasons to love the starry Corona Borealis, but mostly because it crowns Widespread Panic for three beautiful nights of friends, family, and the music at Red Rocks. Enjoy! -Chuck Sperry
