Jan 11 2021 – What a difference a week makes. The WEEKLY TOP 5 is all new this week, with Nathaniel Rateliff finally falling out of the TOP 10. Cary Morin re-enters at #2 with Colorado roots supergroup Del Shamen at #1. Alt punk-rockers Bud Bronson & the Good Timers enter the TOP 5 this week with newcomers Jess Parsons and XIUHTEZCATL
Over the past few weeks I’ve been pushing Stay At Home Silent Disco #2 presented by Tyler, The Creative (not the rap artist) on behalf of Rocky Mountain Music Relief, Inc – a CO 501c3 non-profit dedicated to helping our community. We raised over $3000 to help in the cause.
Are you a working professional member of the Colorado music community? I am also. As you may know, I founded Rocky Mountain Music Relief to help out in times just like now. I know how hard things are. Mortgage, utilities, transportation and food are just a few of the things that need attend4ing to. If you truly are in need, please reach out. www.rockymountainmusicrelief.org
Middle Class Rock Star is a podcast hosted by Andy Sydow. Every week or so I feature a 7 to 8 minute segment featuring a conversation Andy has with some of our scene’s top music makers and industry personalities. This week’s guest is Cary Morin.
