The Colorado Sound S9 EP31 2015 – SPECIAL ED. BOHEMIAN NIGHTS @ NWF

It’s Tuesday … I lost a day I think.  I know I was at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre on Sunday with my son’s band and Chris Daniels & the Kings 11224102_10205836700008943_4417704871125413582_nand the Hazel Miller Band.  Yesterday I spent what seems like the entire day in my car on I25 – Longmont to the DTC to Fort Collins … so yeah, I guess I lost a day, huh?  Can’t seem to recall what I did on Saturday either.

Here’s what we looked like on stage

This week is all about Bohemian Nights at New West Fest in Fort Collins – and the focus of the show this week also is on Bohemian Nights.  There is no NEW show for the week Aug 15-21.

A couple of new releases are poised to be among the top picks of 2015 … the upcoming self titled new album from Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats on the legendary Stax Records, and “The Bargain” from Megan Burtt, produced by former bandmate Luis Cato (Colbert Late Night, Marcus Miller, Bobby McFerrin).   This was a good week for new music shares.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP29 July 2015

Hey gang … sorry for the lateness of this week’s post.  I just finished four days of intense production jobs at the Denver Post UMS and at Oskar Blues Lyons … WOW!  I actually slept in past my normal 6:30 wake up and skipped gym and breakfast to meet some audio production and promo print deadlines.

The DPUMS was amazing as it always is.  Ian Cooke packed the South Broadway Christian Church, as he always does .. and The Burroughs closed out the night to a very rowdy ready to dance crowd of local fans.  Megan Burtt shined, performing selections from her upcoming album

Sunday we said “happy retirement” to Dave McIntyre, who has run the music program at Oskar Blues for the past 18 years.  His son Neil, who goes by the professional handle Mr. Kneel, stole the show with a 15 minute closing stand up routine that proved one and for all (for me) that he’s the master of the rhyme and story telling.  Dan Treanor’s Afrosippi, Boa & the Constrictors, Danny Shafer and all the other musical guests (inc your’s truly) helped to make it a very special 3 hour / 9 act sendoff for Dave.

Monday was a 13 hour day of prepping for and helping to produce the launch of the “new look (and sounding)” Oskar Blues in Lyons with the Steep Canyon Rangers and Bonnie & the Clydes.
