Here’s something fun to do for the next few days. What Colorado albums or eps released in 2013 have really found their way into your regular listening times? What if you could pick your top 3? What would they be? There are about 40 titles listed below.. by no means is it an exhaustive list. There is a space for a write in. You can pick three total. Titles that came out prior to November 1, 2012 do not count. You can add comments to this post if you’d like. It would be fun to see where you’re at right now … what some of your favorite new releases so far in 2013… I will probably use this information to do a mid-year “best of” show in the next week or two. Share it with your friends, family, and fans 🙂

A special project note from one of our favorites
So I’m working on notes for the show this week and pulled up an email that Megan Burtt sent out a few days back … and thought I should share part of this one with you …
from Megan
Many of you may have followed the project I started a yearish ago called “In Good Company” where I get with a friend around the country in my travels, we write a song, learn each others and play at stageit.com show for you that evening to show off our creation. After 12 writes, we’d make an album. Well, I wanted to do a special Colorado volume to honor my roots, and that’s exactly what’s happening! This month I’m co-writing with Colorado artists and bands I absolutely adore, and will be making a special collaboration album “In Good Company Megan Burtt & Friends, Volume 1: Colorado Sessions“. No stageit.com shows, we’re just focusing on writing and recording with a quick turn around to release this by the end of the summer. Some of the artists you can look forward to: Rachel James (Rachel and the Kings), Hazel Miller, The Congress, Chris Daniels, Joel Van Horne/Covenhoven (formerly Carbon Choir), The Epilogues, and more! So pumped for this!
So am I Megan 🙂 Can’t wait for this one to come out.
The Colorado Sound S7 EP21 June 2013
So my summer schedule hit me in the face last week and I was totally unprepared for it … I moved my mother out of my house and into senior housing … the next day I spent painting her room and bathroom .. the following day I had festival mtgs and I picked my wife up at the airport .. then it was three days of emceeing/stage managing shows… LOL. So, happy to say I got it right this week and was able to produce a new show, the 21st episode for 2013. That said – I got a ton of new music in during the week – and wasn’t able to air it all in one show, so some more new stuff coming at ya next week .. nice to see so many of the new cuts were found on soundcloud (I also like bandcamp for sharing).
VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK
This week’s video pick is the newest from Churchill, who not only just finished up a Euro-tour with Pink, but will be supporting her on her US tour this fall, with an appearance at the Pepsi Center Oct 18. That’s if you missed them at the Taste of Fort Collins this weekend.
