What to do in Denver this weekend: Carly Rae Jepsen, an RV show and a Flogging Molly spin-off

Flogging Molly spin-off whirls into Globe Hall

Saturday. As one of Celtic-punk’s finest acts, Flogging Molly is often touring internationally — the L.A. band is hitting the road again through March for its latest this time with openers Anti-Flag and Skinny Lister (see their March 12 concert at the Boulder Theater; $49.50 via bouldertheater.com).

Before that, however, Colorado-based post-punk husband and wife duo Volores, featuring Flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell and singer-songwriter Shelby Maxwell, will play Denver’s Globe Hall on Saturday, Jan. 7, as it readies for the release of debut album “Ages.” Think “mountain goth,” as the band has called it, with a hushed, melodic counterpoint to Flogging Molly’s riotous anthems.

Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9 p.m. at 4483 Logan St. Tickets: $15, with 16-and-up admission (or under 16 with a parent or guardian). With openers Vatican Vamps and Egoista.

Also in music: Bison Days at Number 38, timed to the Stock Show, features free and ticketed concerts, drink and food specials, and other treats Jan. 7-22. Acts include Sugar Britches, Double Wide, Joe Nichols, Michael Ray, and Casey James Prestwood & the Burning Angels. Attendees get one free Odell Kindling Golden Ale upon entry each day. nmbr38.com/bisondays or call 303-493-6651 for more details.

The Ultimate RV Show’s shiny comforts

Through Saturday. The event formerly known as the Colorado RV Adventure Travel Show is making its Thursday, Jan. 5-Saturday, Jan. 7, stop at the Colorado Convention Center with free admission and, unlike many consumer-focused shows, used vehicles available to buy.

The Ultimate RV Show, as it’s now called, will feature more than 200 different shiny, new four-wheeled abodes with all the comforts of home, from compact, lightweight tent trailers to truck campers, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, Class-A motorhomes, according to a press statement. “Plus, for the first time in the show’s history, pre-owned inventory will be available, along with new RVs, at show-only special pricing.”

The Ultimate RV Show runs 10 a.m.-8 p.m. through Friday, and 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday at 700 14th Street in Denver. rv.campingworld.com/shows/denver-rv-show

Sneaker Ball brings Carly Rae Jepsen, Belinda Carlisle to RiNo

Tuesday. Following in the music-loving tradition of former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Gov. Jared Polis on Tuesday, Jan. 10, welcomes a trio of towering pop and alt-rock names to the RiNo Art District’s Mission Ballroom venue to benefit a quartet of nonprofit organizations — the Governor’s Residence Preservation Fund, Inside Out Youth Services, The STEAD School, and Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary.

If there’s a more musical political event in Colorado, it’s not this weekend. This year’s Sneaker Ball for All features performances from alt-rock pioneers They Might Be Giants, Go-Gos leader and pop legend Belinda Carlisle, and headliner and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. Doors for the all-ages show open at 6:30 p.m. at 4242 Wynkoop Street. Tickets: $75, not including fees.

Notably, the concert follows Polis’s inauguration at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 10, which takes place at the Colorado State Capitol. Visit coloradoforall.co for more info on public viewing, livestream options and more events for the day.
