CP S14 EP45 2020

Monday Nov 30, 2020 – I cannot recall the last time a jazz record landed at #1 in the weekly or monthly Colorado radio spins chart, yet there Ron Miles sits with his latest called Rainbow Sign. Is it among your TOP 10 favorites of 2020?  Make sure you vote by December 20 at CP 2020 BEST OF LISTENER POLL and CP VIDEO LISTENER POLL.  Enjoy.

Those of us in the arts are the epitome of “small business.” My hope is that you’ll support musicians, artists, and local community radio this holiday season. Your support is deeply appreciated.  The Colorado Playlist is provided to member stations at no cost.  Your support will help to keep the program on the air as we enter its 15th season in 2021.

Middle Class Rock Star is a podcast hosted by  Andy Sydow.  Every week or so, I feature a segment featuring  a conversation Andy has with some of our scene’s top music makers and industry persons..
