On July 19, Aftershock returned to Dirty Dogs Roadhouse for one of the most meaningful performances in the band’s history—our 100th show.

The location could not have been more fitting. Aftershock played its very first show at Dirty Dogs on October 8, 2022, so returning to the same stage for number 100 brought the journey full circle.

Over the past three years, the band has performed at bars, breweries, festivals, private events and community celebrations throughout Colorado. Along the way, we have welcomed new musicians, added dozens of songs and met countless people who have become part of the Aftershock family.

The 100th show brought together people from every part of that journey. Some fans in the crowd had been with us since the very beginning, while others were seeing Aftershock for the first or second time. That mix of familiar faces and new supporters made the celebration even more special.

Throughout the afternoon, the crowd sang along, danced and helped us celebrate with the kind of energy that has made Dirty Dogs such an important home for the band. We also marked the occasion with cake, commemorative merchandise and giveaways, including shirts, water bottles and other Aftershock gear.

Reaching 100 shows would not have been possible without the venues that have taken a chance on us, the musicians who have shared the stage with us and the fans who continue to show up, spread the word and support live music.

A huge thank you goes to the owners and staff at Dirty Dogs Roadhouse for hosting both our first show and this milestone celebration. Most of all, thank you to everyone who has been part of the first 100 performances.

Three years ago, Aftershock was simply a new project stepping onto the Dirty Dogs stage for the first time. One hundred shows later, we are proud of what the band has become—and excited to see where the next 100 take us.
