Monday July 27 2020 – Every dollar matters in the life of a musician in our scene today. One of my favorite places to help out is at Bandcamp. In an era of streaming, where our artists make nothing, Bandcamp still provides a way for us to show our support by purchasing downloads and merchandise. This week’s Bandcamp features are new releases from Bison Bone and Charlie Stevens.
Cary Morin holds onto the #2 spot in this week’s TOP 5 statewide spins and rises to #3 on the more national/internationally based RootsMusicReport Colorado album spins chart, behind the nearly undisputed Album of the Year from future Colorado Music Hall of Fame artist Nathaniel Rateliff.
My Video Pick of the Week comes from one of, if not the TOP rock music video company in our scene today, Digital Myle. Digital Myle is a Denver based professional film/video production company headed by Kyle Lamar. This week’s featured video is Sharone‘s Can We Pretend.
Please help Rocky Mountain Music Relief feed musicians. Donations of $15 or more receive a #COmusic COVID mask as a thank you. Proceeds will benefit food needy musicians and their families. Please make sure to provide your address so we can mail your mask.
I am happy to support FOCOMA (Fort Collins Musician Association) Drive and Jive – a weekly series showcasing some of Northern Colorado’s popular acts.
