Black Iron Kitchen + Bar
Experience dining rooted in the local terrain at Black Iron Kitchen + Bar. Here’s where to fuel up with a hearty adventurer’s brunch, or continue the party after playing in the rugged outdoors. Share stories around signature fire-tables, while dining on casual modern mountain cuisine. Inspired by the best of what’s in season from local Western Slope farms, Black Iron Kitchen + Bar serves fresh, spirited takes on the hearty, rustic food you crave after a long day in nature.
Lightnin Malcolm
Lightnin’ Malcolm represents new school blues, a melding of the schooling he got from the likes of R.L. Burnside, T Model Ford, Big Jack Johnson and Robert Belfour. The guitar in his hands is full-bodied and rich, somehow producing a mesmerizing bass-rhythm-lead sound from one instrument. Close your eyes and you’ll forget there’s just one guitar man up there. His latest record, Eye of the Storm, was produced by Tab Benoit on Tab’s Whiskey Bayou label, and it’s a primo offering of authentic, Hill Country blues. That’s what we’re talkin’ about!
