Colorado Playlist S10 EP11 2016

Monday morning coffee and a dash of Colorado music … so last week was the debut of the Monday morning music meeting poll … where you get the chance, let me know which of the new songs I debuted over the weekend you liked best.  

Last week, The Patient Zeroes crushed with over 74% of the vote!   Now, I can say that the band urged their fans to come and vote for them – but what good candidate (and a few bad ones out there) doesn’t, right?   Here’s the song that crushed… 

and that’s just TWO guys … ! …

okay .. so it’s Monday afternoon now, and my day has gotten off to a roaring late start!  LOL

Sorry to announce that Radio 94.9 in NoCO has canceled the show on Sunday mornings, as a result of my show moving into the 10AM time slot on 105.5FM and no doubt me now being a part of the on air staff at 105.5 … it made no sense for 94.9 to continue the show in that time slot on Sunday morning.  I want to thank my old friend Stu Haskell for inviting me in three years ago.  I deeply appreciate the support.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorites from this week below.

 

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

SHEL has managed to impress with their renditions of two of rock’s greatest epic songs — Led Zepplin’s Battle of Evermore and this one from Metallica …

RAISING THE ROOF: PORTION OF MISHAWAKA TICKET SALES TO HELP FAMILY BUILD A HOME

RAISING THE ROOF: PORTION OF MISHAWAKA TICKET SALES TO HELP FAMILY BUILD A HOME

$1 of each June show ticket sold goes to Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity “House That Beer Built II” project

BELLVUE, Colo., April 4, 2016 — In June 1916, Mishawaka Amphitheatre’s original owner Walter S. Thompson began constructing the venue’s dance hall by hand, with the help of friends and extended family. Building on that historic event 100 years later, and continuing the celebration of community and collaboration, Mishawaka Amphitheatre will partner with Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity and several craft breweries to contribute to a home for a local family via “The House That Beer Built II” (HTBBII). One dollar of every Mishawaka show ticket sold in June 2016 will be pledged to the construction of a home for the Beavers, a family of four in Fort Collins.

“As we continue to celebrate the Mish100 anniversary throughout our show season, we are discovering a lot of joy in tying in the venue’s history with events that positively impact our present-day community,” said Dani Grant, Mishawaka’s general manager. “Helping a local family build a home feels like a continuation of all the love and care that Walter S. Thompson put into the Mish when he built the dance hall 100 years ago.”

Grant said that funds collected from June ticket sales will be presented by the Mishawaka on July 6 to Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity at the Lagoon Summer Concert Series at Colorado State University. Highly danceable funk-roots-soul band Eufórquestra will perform at the free event from 6 – 8 p.m.

“We are thrilled to have the support of generous community partners like Mishawaka Amphitheatre, who help make it possible for Habitat to continue to create affordable homeownership opportunities in the Fort Collins area. The original owner of ‘The Mish’ left a barn-raising legacy by building this community space that has served the community for 100 years. It is an honor to help them celebrate this hands-on accomplishment with something so fitting as neighbors building the House That Beer Built II home together,” said Kristin Candella, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity.

Twelve local craft breweries and five community partners are participating in the HTBBII project, contributing funds and volunteer labor. Every Habitat homebuyer family contributes 250 – 500 hours of sweat equity building their home before purchasing it, and then pays back a zero-interest mortgage. In 2013, the original Fort Collins “House That Beer Built” project helped rebuild a home for a family whose house was destroyed by the devastating High Park fire in Rist Canyon.

Four June shows have already been scheduled at The Mish, with more to be revealed at the April 16 lineup announcement event at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP10 2016

Monday morning … NEW MUSIC POLL  this week featuring American Culture, Strawberry Runners, The Blue Rider, Esme Patterson, and the Patient Zeroes.  I have to say it all sounds rather oddly like the sixties to my ears.  It will be interesting to see what your favorites are from this class of retro-pop and rock …

Sorry to say that Radio 94.9 in Northern Colorado has decided to drop the show.  I seriously want to thank long time NoCO radio guru Stu Haskell for inviting me to be a part of things there the past few years.  With me now being on staff at 105.5 The Colorado Sound, and the Colorado Playlist airing on Sunday mornings at 10AM, it did not make sense for 94.9 to continue airing the show.
