5 live music shows for this week in Colorado Springs

As far as live music is concerned, Colorado Springs contains a multitude of venues, bars, shops and parks that offer a variety of genres for the eclectic ensemble of tastes surrounding the area.  The catch is it’s not always easy to find a mood-fulfilling evening of music at the drop of a hat.  Anyone new to the Springs may also have some difficulty discerning what media sources to use or how they would go about pinpointing a perfectly pitched night.

In an attempt to provide Colorado Springs with an array of environments, melodic expositions and levels of stress on the wallet, here are five live shows from mixed venues for this week, June 15-18, 2011.
