The Colorado Sound S8|EP47

SpokesBuzz Fort Collins logoColorado puts on some pretty big shows.  FoCoMX brings out 200+ acts …Westword Music Showcase brings out over 100 …the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase brings out over 100 …Bohemian Nights at New West Fest brings out over 70 …the Higher Ground Music Festival another 50 or so.  But nothing really prepared me to hear the voice of SpokesBuzz founder Dani Grant announcing from the stage at the SpokesBuzz VOL V compilation release party Saturday night that 128 Colorado bands will make a presence at the 2015 Austin based South By Southwest music festival, and that the state of Colorado itself is throwing down to help make it happen.  Stay tuned folks …this is gonna get crazy.

If you haven’t done so yet, let me know who your favorites were this past year in our fan favorite poll for 2014. I am really looking forward to sharing the top “Emerging / Up-and-Coming / Breakout” acts with you.  I have asked several of my friends and colleagues in radio, in print, and at venues to share their TOP 5 for the year. Based on early responses from a few folks this is going to be fun.
