HEY – Whatcha Doing this Weekend?

What are you doing this weekend?  The Colorado Sound presents one event on Saturday, and I’m on an industry panel with some friends on Sunday.

Also, don’t forget – The Colorado Sound airs Saturday night 8PM-10PM on 88.9FM KRFC and then on Sunday morning from 8AM-10AM on the NEW Radio 94.9 … both stations available over the air in Northern Colorado … and both available via streaming for folks outside of range of terrestrial radio.

New music coming this week from Rachel & the Kings, Grant Farm, Kate LeRoux, American Blackout, Josh Blackburn … and a “new” classic – originally released in 1988, and remastered in 2005 – Billy Ryan & Black Irish on this week’s show.
