The
Family Jones Spirit House in Denver is the lab where we create, hone
and craft all of our recipes. The Family Jones Spirit House is built on
three things: quality ingredients, thoughtful blending, and a touch of
moxie. With this in mind, we decided that everything in our Spirit House
space— cocktails, small plates, and crew—should be built on the same
ideals.

The Unauthorized Absence
name goes back to the origins of the band in 2008 when all four of the
original members worked for the same company in our day-jobs and we used
to take off work early to jam and learn new songs. Two of the original
lineup (Lee and Tapani) still work for the same company and, on
occasion, still might duck out of the office early to make a show or
rehearsal.

Our classic rock music can best be described as the
soundtrack of our lives as we play the music we love to listen to. Each
song resonates with our audiences and we get transported back in time
every night when we’re on stage!

Alcohol and concessions will be sold onsite.

We’ll open our season with a special program that celebrates connection. Personal connections are a fundamental human desire that can empower us to exceed expectations. Every work in this program amplifies that spirit, allowing both artists and patrons to enjoy a truly meaningful experience together.

CONNECTION features the works of nationally acclaimed choreographers Caili Quan and Amy Seiwert as well as local dance maker Sarah Tallman (Wonderbound) and our own Ben Needham-Wood.
