Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks

Two of roots music's most recognizable voices share a stage with a full orchestra, a pairing that turns familiar hits into something the touring versions cannot match. The Colorado Symphony backing both Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge is the reason to be in the seats rather than streaming later.

Symphony nights at Red Rocks draw an older, seated crowd and tend to start and end earlier than rock bills. The 7 p.m. start means the first notes land before sunset.
