The Colorado Sound S7/EP09 March 2013

grizzly goat adamsI don’t mind snow … I really don’t.  Gives me an excuse to sit and listen to music all day, without having to worry about much more than … well …listening to music … gee … LOL.  The show never really ends; it just only gets produced and recorded once a week.  Check out the Ben Hanna track below.  It’s pretty funny stuff he’s got on his debut, We Were All Like Whatever.

So far today I’ve listened to the upcoming EP from Andy Hackbarth called Treadmill Horses.  I would imagine radio and press will be getting this disc at the very beginning of April.  Very strong AAA/indie appeal I think.  Some folks are going to be pleasantly surprised at some of the stylistic advances Mr Hackbarth and company have conjured.

Next up was the upcoming new release from Andy Palmer, called Hazard of the Die.  I played a cut last week from this one … Andy went out to LA to record this time, and it shows.  If Hazard of the Die makes its way to the RMMN reporting stations, it would find some fans I’m sure.

I’m also working on radio/press one-sheets for new releases by Dennis Wanebo and Bad Brad & the Fat Cats.  Radio/press should get it all at the end of this next week.

Sorry … no video this week.

The Colorado Sound – S7/EP08 March 2013

grizzly goat adamsHi.  New Instagram shot … shows my “Grizzly Goat Adams” side my wife says … LOL .  Ok…not much time to sit and chat this morning.  The monthly news, notes, and Top 40 is now 2 days past schedule, and I’m only hoping I’ll get it done sometime today (Sunday March 3).  In the meantime I received more new music this past week than I had time to listen to.  But I did manage to get a fair amount into the show again this week.  Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case, not everything you hear this week will be heard again sometime soon.  I’ve already got 342 songs curated for 2013, and I’m not done importing.  I have 538 in catalog from 2012.  I’ll be doing some weeding this week to be sure.

In the meantime … news … Wendy Woo had surgery yesterday.  A late night post from her husband Charles Snyder while I was at the Skylark doing sound for Halden Wofford & the Hi*Beams caught my attention… he told me in a follow up “she had to have surgery on her vocal cords to remove polyps. She had to cancel her next twelve shows which she’s really bumbed about, however the surgery went well and she should be back in a couple of months.”  Good luck to Wendy.  She’s been a staple in our scene for over a decade now, and continues to be a crowd favorite.

Speaking of Halden Wofford and the Hi*Beams – they spent the day yesterday, and will be back spending the day today, at Might Fine Productions finishing tracks for their upcoming new release.  The guys are really excited, and based on what I’ve heard of new material done live it will be another fan favorite.  Don’t expect a lengthy song list this time though – this will be a “smaller” batch of songs and there may be <hint fellows> vinyl in the offering (?).    Also finishing up mixing for a new album at Colin Bricker’s place => Lionel Young Band … bassist Kim Stone blasted out Thursday “Mixing the new Lionel Young Band CD at MFP Studio’s.”  Nice 🙂

Bumped into Kerry and Paul from the Informants last night also … could a new EP be in the making???

Birthday wishes this week to:  Jazz vocalist Erienne Romaine (22).  CJ Nicolai (Reckless Red).  Greta Cornet (FoCoMA, Road 34, 3 Twins Broadband, 12 Cents for Marvin, Mama Lenny & the Remedy). Rebecca Folsom (50).  Chris Citrus Sautoff  (Swallow Hill instructor and all around funk-meister guitarist and sitarist). Pianist Jon Wirtz (33).  Bassist Glenn Tapia (44).  And Colorado native and songstress Katie Herzig is celebrating… congrats to all our friends and family in the scene celebrating one great year of life among us.

I think that’s it … now for our Video Pick of the Week … and the Playlist … the NEWS NOTES & SPINS column should be up tonight … tomorrow morning at the latest, I promise.

The Colorado Sound – S7/EP07 Feb 2013

chris k july 2010Brand new music this week EXCLUSIVELY on the Colorado Sound from White Water Ramble.  I can’t wait for you all to hear the latest from Pat Sites and the boys so go below and stream the lead track Dear Mr. Bankman.  I’ve know Pat since he started this band back about 2001 when I was at Archer’s in Fort Collins and gave them some of their first gigs.  Pat’s really grown as a picker and songwriter and this album represents a HUGE leap forward – featuring such notables as Andy Hall (Infamous Stringdusters), Bill McKay (Derek Trucks, Leftover Salmon), Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon, Emmit-Nershi, Grant Farm), John Macy, the Euforquestra horns … produced by Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth) and recorded at John Macy’s Silo Sounds in Denver.

In the spirit of full disclosure I will be sending out the new White Water Ramble and Lisa Bell records through my Rocky Mountain Music Network service to some 50-60 djs around the state.  For a full list of records I’ve sent out to radio on behalf of a band/artist, see the Rocky Mountain Music Network page.

Happy birthday wishes this week go out to:
Tim Hanauer (35)
Branden Sipes (30)
Jim Messina  (57)
Pete Wernick (67)
Edd Catfish Kray (67)
Scott McCormick
Rich Ross
Pattie Fiasco

The featured video of the week comes from Lisa Bell’s new album The Italian Project.  A portion of Lisa’s proceeds from download sales will benefit animal adoption agencies.  For the first two months, the proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, the shelter from which the stars of the film, Kona and Joey, were adopted.
