December 1, 2020 -EDIT DEC 02 2020 … Before I posted up yesterday, I forgot to link the releases to their respective YOUTUBE location. That’s now done. Enjoy.
By now it should come as no surprise the incredible success of Nathaniel Rateliff‘s solo LP And It’s Still Alright. Not only did it bounce back to #1 this month, but I’m 100% positive it will be #1 for 2020.
New Artist to Watch For, Dafna, a student at CU Boulder, DEBUTS at #2 thanks mostly to it being the most played Colorado release at Indie 102.3 this past month. Colorado supergroup Del Shamen, featuring members of the Subdudes, Hot Rize/E-Town and Firefall debuts at #4 with their self-titled debut. Debuting at #8, Ron Miles Rainbow Sign is the first JAZZ album to land at #1 in a WEEKLY TOP 5 (wk end 11/28)
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.
There are over 20 FM and LPFM (low power FM) non-commercial public/community and college stations in Colorado. I track spins at 11 of those stations thanks to Spinitron, developed to benefit non-commercial public and educational terrestrial radio stations in the US, and offering advanced search functions for artists and agents.
