CP S13 EP29 2019

Monday July 29, 2019 – OK – it’s not every day that you wake up to the Governor of the State of Colorado, Jared Polis, sharing an old Denver Post interview from 2016, and saying how much he loves the Colorado Playlist.  Seriously?  I was giddy like a 13 year old and got weak knees for a second (yes, I told him that… the weak knees part). #starstruck #fanboy

If you haven’t been, I highly encourage stepping over to Colorado Music Experience .  Since leaving the Colorado Music Hall of Fame as executive director a few years ago, G Brown has launched what I consider to be the official and quintessential online archive of Colorado music history.  His daily posts about events, birthdays and more are part of my everyday browsing experience.

We’re up to 30 followers to the Colorado Playlist on Spotify and 110 songs, including recent adds from SUCH, Selina Albright, Gerald Albright, Tia Fuller, Bill Frissell …

Did you miss this week’s or LAST week’s show? You can now stream them on demand! 105.5 The Colorado Sound archives two weeks worth that you can stream at your leisure. They typically update their archives every Monday afternoon. You can also stream the show in real time wherever the show is aired around the state. See the stations and times page for that info.

105.5 The Colorado Sound & the Colorado Playlist Present:
Brent Cowles – Bluebird Theater, Denver – Oct 12
Gasoline Lollipops at Washington’s FoCo Fort Collins Friday, October 4

CP S13 EP 26 2019

MONDAY JULY 8, 2019 — Happy July 4th, belatedly of course.  I hope you enjoyed your long weekend and got to take in some live music at one of the numerous festivals, municipal events and/or outdoor venues.  I know the storms played havoc with several shows, including Leslie Tom‘s set at Greeley Stampede that unfortunately got rained out after only 30 minutes.

Leslie will be back headlining the Colorado Playlist presents show Well-O-Rama, Aug 17th in Wellington.  I’ll be hosting this new annual event in Wellington, and will be appearing with my band, GOATZ! Also appearing will be the Devil’s Share, Sugar Britches, and Jackie & the Racket.

Wind Over the Earth is a recording studio in Longmont.  On July 1 they began releasing an 18 song compilation benefiting the Longmont High School music program.  The album features cuts from Foxfeather, Shanna in a Dress, Clandestine Amigo,  Taylor Sims (Bonnie & the Clydes), Bridget Law (Elephant Revival) and Natalie Tate to name just a few.  The full album will be released publicly on July 22.  According to studio owner, Mark Venezia, the album will be made available for a donation to the Longmont High School music program.

New this week is the COLORADO PLAYLIST on Spotify.  I’ve tried tying this to the weekly MMMM but it didn’t seem to work to attract regular weekly fans and listeners.  This will be a permanent playlist on Spotify that I’ll update regularly with new releases and older “hits.”  Enjoy

Don’t forget to vote for your favorites of 2010 and 2011 … and soon 2012-2018, as we get closer to the best of the Decade 2010-2019 that will air in early 2020.

It’s been too many years, IMO, since the Reminders graced us with a new anthem.  Dubbed as Colorado’s the 1st family of hip-hop, the Reminders are among the most enlightened and socially conscious bands in our scene, speaking to truth about not only about our homeland, but the plight of others around the globe.

CP S13 EP25 2019

MONDAY JUNE 24, 2019 – Rumors swirled over the weekend concerning former Yonder Mountain String Band founding member Jeff Austin.  Despite numerous social media posts alluding to a possible suicide, official reports emerged that he suffered a undisclosed medical emergency and was is Seattle with family being attended to.  What little information is available, and crowdfunding has been set up at Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

In this week’s show I highlighted some of the best of 2013 in  HOUR 1 and some of the best of 2014 in HOUR 2.  Over the next many weeks I will continue to highlight some of the best of each year as we approach the BEST OF THE DECADE.  With that, I’ve put up two polls already for Best of 2010 and 2011, so you can vote for your favorites from those years.

MMMM this week = Gun Street Ghost, Heavy Diamond Ring, Bobby Messano, Swerve, The Threadbarons, and Brian Bourgault – KEEP or DELETE?
