Fresh off her performance and two wins at the 2013 Grammys, Carrie Underwood brought her Blown Away Tour to the 1stBank Center Thursday night.

Earlier this week Zac Brown Band announced a return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre this summer, where it played two sold out shows in 2011. It looks like the band is hoping to do the same this year, as it has announced a second date at the mountain venue on May 9.

Samuel L. Jackson sings the girliest song and gets away with it beautifully.

Zac Brown Band has announced it will return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre this year, where the group last played in 2011.
