Craziness … I’m late this week. Big news this past week is the reemergence of the Colorado Playlist Live365 supported by the Mishawaka Amphitheater and Oskar Blues Brewery.. thanks to them for their support, and to Live365 for bringing the platform back online. I hope you’ll visit once a day to check out what’s new.
Spent Friday and Saturday at the Big Wonderful and got to hang out with some great friends including, Drew Emmitt, Andy Thorn and Greg Garrison from Leftover Salmon along with Tyler Grant (Grant Farm), Jordan Ramsey, Eric Thorin (Matt Flinner Trio), Adam Kinghorn (Head for the Hills) along with up coming bluegrass bands Caribou Mountain Collective and That Damn Sasquatch — all in all a brilliant (and brilliantly hot and dusty) Friday and Saturday.
Sunday I was SUPPOSED to attend the Colorado Blues Society IBC (International Blues Challenge Memphis) finals at the Dickens Opera House in Longmont … AND the final day of the Oskar Blues 20th Anniversary at the Original Grill and Brew in Lyons … okay .. I tried. I made it to Lyons for an hour before I fell ill and had to jet home, where I promptly fell asleep for 14 straight hours.
Congratulations to Mojomama for winning this year’s IBC! WTG!
