The Colorado Sound S8|EP35

Goat_Logo_color_on_whiteWhat a weird weekend.  For inexplicable reasons, KUNC ran last week’s episode of the show, and Radio 94.9 ran hour 2 of this week’s show twice.  Weird huh?  It was also the one year anniversary of “The Flood.”  So, apologizes to those expecting to hear cuts they thought they might hear over the weekend.  I’ll attempt to made that up in a future episode.

Speaking of the show … expect some minor adjustments.  I’m taking the interview segment out longer beginning this week.  The next segment of Offstage …Beyond the Music with Eddie Turner will be uploaded on September 22nd.  That will run for two weeks.  After that, my next guest will be Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay, who I had the incredible pleasure of working with this summer on two shows.  I’m not a star struck kind of goat, but daaaaaaaaaaamn I’m nervous for this one.  Richie’s interviews will run beginning October 6th.

This coming weekend you can find me at Fortober Fest in Fort Collins.  I’m looking forward to this last festival weekend of the season.  It features some incredible friends:  Sofie Reed, the Young Ancients, Soul School, Ryan Chrys & the Rough Cuts, Van Halen Tribute Band Romeo Delight, featuring Drug Under/S.I.C.K lead vocalist Romero who I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing and working with the past 14 years now.  Here’s the complete lineup:

River’s Eddy Blues – A Painful Memory Exposed

It’s a cold, wet, miserable day today, but nowhere near as bad as it was a year ago today as my wife and I sat and cried, feeling more helpless than we ever have as our friends and family in Lyons suffered one of the greatest losses any of us could imagine.  This was the place, after all, where we got married (Oct 25, 2009 @ Oskar Blues).

We feared for our friends.  Fortunately, all escaped with only the loss of property – all safe – all secure in the love of the community of musicians we call family.  Enion Pelta-Tiller expresses it perfectly when she sings “…feelin’ sick down to my toes, worryin’ ’bout the ones I love.”

I would normally have waited until Monday’s blog post to share this video with you, but with the weather being as it is today, and the pain still holdin’ on, today is the best day to share this new song from the upcoming Taarka album due out in November.  It is, indeed, a day to remember.

We love you guys,
Mr & Mrs Goat

The Colorado Sound S8|EP34

IMG_20140901_182522_349I’m always amazed when people say to me, “I didn’t know THEY’re from Colorado!”  LOL.  It happens regularly to be honest.  I think that really has been the guiding idea in presenting “The Colorado Sound” as well as “Offstage …Beyond the Music,” that I can share Colorado music, and the lives of musicians and music industry personalities who have called Colorado their home with folks who might not know who’s who and what they do.

I’ve had an absolutely amazing summer.  I got to present Coloradan and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco, South-Hillman-Furay) as a headliner on a show I produce annually (Carbon Valley Music & Spirits Festival), and as well at one of the acts at this year’s incredible Bohemian Nights at New West Fest.  He and I communicated this weekend, and he’ll be appearing as my guest on the next episode of Offstage …Beyond the Music.  #superstoked!

This weekend I was gifted tickets to see Aspen resident and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Oates (Hall & Oates) with his long running (15 yrs) Aspen trio.  What a treat to see this Colorado band in a state of the art intimate 200 cap room … WOW!  Check out his latest album when you get a chance … he killed the cut “Stone Cold Love” that he and fellow Coloradan Ryan Tedder co-wrote and co-produced, despite not having the specific beats that Ryan used to underpin the song.

He also did “Lose It In Louisiana” from the same album release, and, of course, a few classic Hall & Oates hits including “She’s Gone,” which he says has been played at every show, solo or with Daryl since 1972.  I also thought it interesting that he pointed out a couple of times that he did not bring cds to sell, and that people should purchase it on iTunes or elsewhere.  The trio format was a blast, and you could tell they were good friends out having a good time.

Leaving you with a video of John at Aspen’s KSPN from last April, doing a song he did Friday night that he wrote with esteemed songwriter Jim Lauderdale.. Enjoy.

New Offstage …Beyond The Music episode starts this week .. check it out below.
