Earlier this year, Zach Top exploded onto the country music scene with his sophomore album Cold Beer & Country Music. The 12-track collection put the Washington native at the top of the list of artists who are reviving the ‘90s country sound. At the same time, it proved that he is a top-tier singer, songwriter, and musician. However, long before Top was reviving the sounds of ‘90s country he was picking bluegrass songs with his siblings. During the recent Under the Big Sky Festival, Billy Strings invited him out to show off his bluegrass chops with a rendition of “Freeborn Man.”

Few songs can boast of being truly timeless, but “Shadow Dancing” by Andy Gibb isn’t just any song.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
