Public Safety

"People came early to listen to the freestyle jam band Chompers, who set the mood and helped everyone put on their dancing shoes. Next up was Mad Wallace, who kept the freestyle vibes flowing with their impressive improvisation. And finally, with the crowd warmed up and packed in, Denver’s Public Safety took the stage with an equal amount of excitement. Public Safety combined rock with soul and a little bit of country to create something that everyone grooved along with. Lead singer Bear Buscher kept the crowd engaged while the rest of the band- Jimmy Jeter (guitar), Ethan Desmond (bass), and Tim Kane (drums)- pumped out funky tunes. The catchy lyrics and exceptional musicianship of this headlining four-piece created a memorable live experience that I’d definitely catch again." - Nathan - Bolder Bear

"Finally, Public Safety took the stage. The funk rock headliners of the bill are also based out of Denver, and when I asked how fans would describe their sound, one listener whispered, “Funk rock with a little soul.” Yes. Drummer Tim Kane described the project similarly, but “with a few more elements that can't really be described.” The group had an extremely well-performed set list of originals and threw a little Kid Cudi cover into the mix toward the end. Overall, PS gave us a variety of smooth, almost jazz-like interludes with the familiar funk and soul rock they’re known for.

At the end of the night, the outcome was one happy crowd. What had started out with bit of swaying and the occasional chant had turned into something more: a bond between listeners shouting and singing with each other while feeding off of the immense energy coming from such a tight show. This bill proved that it doesn't take a million people to bring the house down, nor does it take a big venue with bands you've heard a million times. It just a few loud and ambitious talented acts in a great space with great vibes. And that’s Club 156." - Trevor - Bolder Beat
