The Colorado Sound S9 EP1 2015

(Sunday Jan 4) Happy New Year.  One of the greatest things about the long year-end holiday season is that people tend to get cabin fever …resulting in more people in places where there is live music taking place, it seems to me.  And I get more new music directed my way this time of year.  Westword published their BEST OF 2014 list, the last of the “major” publications and shows to do so.  It goes to show there is more music in our region than even we “experts” can account for.  There is not a lot of crossover between their 31 BEST OF and the TOP 50 I posted on the 1st.  There is a lot of diversity in Colorado music.

No video this week.  No new music to share.  I do have a new episode of Offstage Beyond the Music this week – featuring Colorado Music Hall of Fame executive director G Brown.  If you’d like to download the podcast please visit the Offstage Beyond the Music page.

The Colorado Sound S8|EP45 2014

I’m Austin today (Sunday).  I’ve never been here before.  I’m staying across the street from the legendary Continental Club.  It’s been a whirlwind of a day, all of it spent with my new friends from Nomad Sound.  Sorry to say I was too exhausted by 10 to walk across the street and check out the Continental.  Maybe tomorrow night.

Getting here was no easy task.  I don’t fly well as it is, and the flight was a stomach churning adventure .. on top of dealing with day five of a cold, that pretty much sapped my strength.

euforquestra lyons nov 2014The highlight of my weekend was working with my friends in Euforquestra and Judge Roughneck at Oskar Blues in Lyons.  Packed room, and everyone groovin’ … hellofa night! Here’s some video of Euforquestra’s set and something from Judge Roughneck.

I don’t have a news and notes segment to share this week, sorry.  I left it on my office computer.  I also do not have a video of the wee pick.  I did not find one.  I was excited to debut a new release from the Greeley based Silver & Gold this week.  Their recording was sent to me by a fan, who heard my show on KUNC.  Props to the fan for doing that.  This is a solid “new” addition to the Greeley/NoCO music scene.  Check out a review in Greeley’s Bandwagon.  Also new this week are a couple of really excellent new jazz recordings from the Ben Markley/Clint Ashlock Quintet, and the Dana Landry Trio (also from Greeley).

OFFSTAGE …BEYOND THE MUSIC

This is the last installment of my visit with Reed Foehl.   I really appreciate the time that we spent together.  If you’d like to download it, please visit KUNC or Radio 94.9 Colorado.
