CP S14 EP32 2020

Monday AUG 17 2020 – Down Time finally got bounced out of the TOP 5 this week, replaced by the resurgence of Whippoorwill and the rise of the latest Kayla Rae EP Pressure.  This week’s MMMM = the latest from King Cardinal, Big Head Todd & the Monsters and Bison Bone.

In the mood for live music?  There seems to be more and more of it taking places as we figure out the best way to do things.  Of course that does mean wearing masks when in public places and maintaining social distancing. Festivals are off the table, but the Fort Collins Musicians Association (FOCOMA) has figured out a way to celebrate over a decade of FOCOMX and NOCO music events.  I’m happy to support this  year’s FOCOMX – A Digital Retrospective.

DULCETTERRA, AN ONLINE INTERACTIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL, CONFERENCE AND SONGWRITING CAMP. Watch live on Monday, September 21st, 2020, from 12PM until 12AM Mountain Standard Time.

CP S14 EP30 2020

Monday AUG 03 2020 –  Cary Morin’s new album, Dockside Saints, isn’t yet officially available for mass consumption via Spotify or YouTube but that doesn’t mean it’s not getting some love from radio where it jumps to #1 this week in the statewide radio airplay chart.  Charlie Stevens new self titled release (serviced by Rocky Mountain Music Network LLC) makes its debut this week at #3, while Down Time extends its TOP five position another week.

The Video Pick of the Week I Can’t Breathe (Again) Feat. Wil Guice, Chy Reco, Ramond, A Meazy (at bottom of post) is a tribute to the BLM movement.  Created by some of Denver’s top hip-hop producers and emcees, in a state of mourning for black lives taken by police, the video is a stunning local reminder of what we’ve seen on the streets and in the news this summer.

Live music is alive and doing as reasonably well as we might expect during COVID.  A long interior drive this weekend took us into Walden, Winter Park, Grand Lake and Estes Park.  Grand Lake and Estes were of course jumpin.  We heard several acoustic acts singing hits from various small stages.

My friends at the Mishawaka have concerts on the calendar with the likes of the Yawpers (AUG 29) and Patti Fiasco (AUG 28).

Every night at 6pm, Denver’s Swallow Hill is streaming live shows of Colorado and national artists on their Facebook page!  This week’s schedule is: https://swallowhillmusic-eb.ticketfly.com/calendar/

  • Aug 3: Cate Downey
  • Aug 4: Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer
  • Aug 5: Ross James
  • Aug 6: John McCutcheon
  • Aug 7: Justin Roberts
  • Aug 8: Bret Billings w Greg Schochet & Halden Wofford

I am happy to support  FOCOMA (Fort Collins Musician Association)  Drive and Jive – a weekly series showcasing some of Northern Colorado’s popular acts.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

 

CP S14 EP29 2020

Monday July 27 2020 – Every dollar matters in the life of a musician in our scene today.  One of my favorite places to help out is at Bandcamp.  In an era of streaming, where our artists make nothing, Bandcamp still provides a way for us to show our support by purchasing downloads and merchandise.  This week’s Bandcamp features are new releases from Bison Bone and Charlie Stevens.

Cary Morin holds onto the #2 spot in this week’s TOP 5 statewide spins and rises to #3 on the more national/internationally based RootsMusicReport Colorado album spins chart, behind the nearly undisputed Album of the Year from future Colorado Music Hall of Fame artist Nathaniel Rateliff.  

My Video Pick of the Week comes from one of, if not the TOP rock music video company in our scene today, Digital Myle.  Digital Myle is a Denver based professional film/video production company headed by Kyle Lamar. This week’s featured video is Sharone‘s Can We Pretend.

Please help Rocky Mountain Music Relief feed musicians.  Donations of $15 or more receive a #COmusic COVID mask as a thank you. Proceeds will benefit food needy musicians and their families. Please make sure to provide your address so we can mail your mask.
