Colorado Playlist S10 EP17 2016

I’ve been waiting for a nice weekend so I could get some needed yard work done, and maybe find time to get on my bike for a nice ride … well, some yard work got done – and so too did my back 😦

Oh well, LOL — tomorrow is a new day, and between my chiropractor and my physical therapist, I’ll be good as new in a day or two. 😉 (wishful thinking is a good motivator)

There’s some killer new tunes in this week’s Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) from Grant Farm, the 14ers, Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, and from Bonnie & the Clydes.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP16 2016

Good Monday morning … new music offerings in MMMM from Sound of Ceres, Adrienne O, CITRA, A.J. Fullerton and South of France – make sure you vote for the ones I should keep.   Also – a new video from Gregory Alan Isakov w/ the Colorado Symphony from his upcoming new album.

I have to admit to having a so-so week.  I spent some time working on my bedroom – got the walls done. Need to do floors, baseboards, decoration, put in new bed, etc … it’s time.  I can say that being a solo homeowner now, I’m learning there’s more to owning a house than simply living in it and turning on the lights … especially when you have a power issue that it turns out could have burnt down said house.  SHEESH!  Who knew??  #reallymissmywife

Goat and Delores Scott
Goat and Delores Scott

I did sound for Jack Hadley and Delores Scott on Friday night and for Gasoline Lollipops on Saturday night.  It’s always a joy to see and hear Delores come into the house and belt out some Chi-town style r&b and blues.

If there’s any doubt that Gasoline Lollipops is one of the best Americana / alternative country-f0lk-rock bands in the region – put it to rest – they’re one of the best.  And the packed house at Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids declared such with their enthusiastic applause and accolades – which were heard all night my myself and the staff.  The addition of Jeb Bows (Gregory Alan Isakov) on fiddle and the raw emotional energy that Clay Rose exudes raises this band to A-shelf status.

It’s always sad to announce the death of a member of our community and this week there were two … Rictus Corpum, aka Quentin Miller, from the Widow’s Bane passed away at his home in Paris, Texas this past week.

And while I do not know the circumstances, I saw where Laura Newman from AOA and Herb’s Bar posted that “Gig Daddy” Ron Henry has also transitioned.  Much love to both of these wonderful members of our community, RIP.

According to a just published article in the Times Call, “Local musicians gathered Sunday at Longmont’s Moose Lodge to pay tribute to Ward Harston, a renowned Longmont musician and music teacher who died in March.”

Colorado Playlist S10 EP15 2016

13115994_1334841559865339_2569756709624691874_oMan, what a fun day I had Sunday.  Happy Mothers Day.  My living room was turned into a tv show set and I was interviewed as a part of a new documentary being filmed about Colorado music called Sounds Like Colorado – a film by Caryn Sanchez.  

I really don’t know much about the film other than it’s the “larger story of what it takes to create a life and career in music today, and how the community helps it thrive.”  I also don’t know when it will be completed or where it will air LOL .. stay tuned – they plan on interviewing me in my home a couple more times before it’s done.

Thanks to Caryn and the crew from AdSortium Media

I got to debut the new single from Angie Stevens and Gregory Alan Isakov this week .. and as I wrote a couple of weeks ago, “Sweet Emily, is destined to be a “hit” with each artists’ fanbase….  It’s definitely one of the most worthy duets in Colorado music, in my memory, delivered as poignantly as only two friends might achieve together.”  Unfortunately, I don’t have rights to share this with you in the Monday Morning Music Meeting this week … fingers crossed it will be available for next week’s post.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK 

New music / new video from Fort Collins’ Arliss Nancy.  It’s been a while since we heard anything new from them.  New album, Great Divides, due out May 13.


MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

I conceived of this idea a way for you to discover some of the new music I played on the show, and to give you the chance to let me know which of the tracks you like, and think I should keep in rotation.

If artists/bands rally their troops to vote for them, it undermines the intent of what I had hoped to achieve.  I appreciate the site traffic but not at the expense of hearing what the show listeners really do like – or not.  So while I encourage sharing, please remember the intent of this poll.

What you’ll find below are new songs debuted on the show this week … listen to them again (or for the first time) and let me know which ones you think I should keep in the Colorado Playlist.

NOTE:  In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp (my favorite), Reverbnation, or YouTube.

Neither Angie Stevens nor Cary Morin had files available this week to share.  I provided a link to the song on Cary’s website for you to listen to.
