The Colorado Sound S9|EP32 2015

(Monday Aug 24) The gym is closed for a week for maintenance. They forgot that I need maintaining too LOL. Sheesh. Okay, so the weekend was uneventful. About the best thing that happened was me being invited to perform on Sept 11 and 12 as part of the RimRock Music & Camping Festival in Conifer, along with several other solo acts in the hospitality tent. Main stage acts include Kyle Hollingsworth, Dragondeer, the Drunken Hearts, In the Whale and others. So Miss Pattie and I will be there instead of going on a road trip the following weekend to Telluride and Durango, that something always seems to prevent from happening.

There will not be an Offstage Beyond the Music for September. The festival season got the best of all of us and I was not able to schedule a time to go sit with a friend and chat. Look for the return of OSBTM in October. In the meantime, here’s the final segment of my conversation with award winning blues musician and educator Dan Treanor.

GOATZ! SHOWS

THURS SEPT 10 w/ Jimbo Darville & the Truckadours + Daniella Katzir @ the Walnut Room in Denver

FRI & SAT SEPT 11 & 12 – RimRock Music & Camping Festival in Conifer (solo tent / 30 min sets) featuring Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Dragondeer, The Drunken Hearts, In the Whale and more.

SUN SEPT 13 w/ Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene @ Avogardro’s Number in Fort Collins — this is (tentatively) the final show of the season with one of my best pals and one of the absolutely BEST pedal steel players in the state, Chris Kennison. To say that I’ll miss him after today is a gross understatement, as he returns to AZ for the winter to play in the Arizona Opry.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

It’s not very often an opening happens in my limited sponsorships. I’m sorry to say that Colorado Case Company will be leaving the show at the end of August. Chuck Grewe has been a friend since he played with me in a band in the early 90s. Along the way his brother Bill and I got to be pretty good friends also. Thanks to the both of them for their support the past 18 months. I wish them considerable good fortune as they move forward with their business. Email me at chriskmusic@gmail.com for more information about getting your event and/or business name heard statewide on The Colorado Sound.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP26

Crushed. Absolutely crushed. I’ve never been so busy. Truth: some days I feel it would be easier to have a “real job” with an expected number of hours, and time off to just do leisurely things. I enjoy no such luxury as I attempt in my final decades to tell as much of the story as I am able about music and musicians in Colorado. Well, that and doing sound and/or emceeing and/or producing shows and/or rehearsing with the new lineup of Goatz!, back after a nearly six year hiatus (new recordings and/or videos coming in August).

Hmmm … seems I slipped into the “Chris abyss” (coined by Morris Beegle from Hapi Skratch Entertainment) on that first paragraph.

I completely and utterly screwed up this month’s edition of Offstage …Beyond the Music with Freddi Gowdy. I got new equipment last month to solve a long standing production quality issue, and didn’t get it right. So for July, as we celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast series, I’ve decided to pull out segments from some of my favorites of the past year .. starting off with one from the very first episode with Chris Daniels last July …

Jill Sobule is one of our native artists who has long gone unnoticed as such among local music fans. She grew up in Denver, went to St. Mary’s, and to CU before heading off to Spain and other parts on her musical journey. So to lead things off this week I did an artist two-fer with one of her biggest hits, and something from her most recent album “Dottie’s Charms” from 2014 – that was largely influenced by a charm bracelet she found at the bottom of a drawer, “…hung with about 20 pewter charms, including an airplane, the Statue of Liberty and a disc bearing the name Dorothy.” See playlist below to listen to the song via YouTube.
