ROCKY MOUNTAIN MUSIC RELIEF mobilizes the Colorado music and media communities to raise funds to assist musicians throughout the U.S. affected by natural disasters.
NEWS NOTES & THOUGHTS
Tuesday DEC 5 is Colorado Gives Day … there are some very worthy charities here in the state including many that are music focused.
No doubt that this week’s big news is the impending release of the first new album in eight years from the Railbenders. If you heard the show, you got to hear the statewide debut of the first single, “Hard Road.” The digital release date is set for Dec 19.
If you didn’t tune into the show, bummer .. the new Christmas single from Face Vocal Band is also not available to be embedded – and it’s a truly excellent re-imagining of Led Zepplin‘s “Misty Mountain Hop” from their new album Bring On Christmas.
VIDEO PICKS OF 2017
I went through all of the videos that I collected from this past year and put together what I consider my top 26 (yeah, I know) picks of the year. The rest is up to you to decide. We’ll narrow it all down in our year end Best Of edition.
MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING
What you’ll find below are new songs on the show this week … listen and let me know which ones you think I should keep in the Colorado Playlist, and which I should delete.
NOTE: In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp, Reverbnation or YouTube.
