CP S12 EP10 2018

Can only stop in briefly this week.  We had company in from out of state, so we took them out to see some live music, and visit Red Rocks and Pikes Peak.  Of course the car had plenty of Colorado music on board.  Enjoy this week’s Monday Morning Music Meeting.

On another note, I continued to purge old records from the library I haven’t played in years, and while doing so I rediscovered some titles I haven’t played and perhaps should be.  Cleaning out closets is always fun, isn’t it?

Happy 2nd birthday to 105.5 The Colorado Sound. It’s been one of my deepest honors, after nearly 40 years associated with radio and music in Northern Colorado, to be a part of this incredible station.  I can’t thank my friends Neil Best, Robert Leja, and Benji McPhail enough for bringing me into the family over two years ago now, when they asked to buy my old show name “the Colorado Sound” and include me in the on-air team.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

I’m always amazed by the talent of our youngest members in the music scene.  Taylor is just graduating high school, will be attending CSU in the fall, and is set to explode on the scene …

CP S12 EP09 2018

Locally owned and operated regional music publication Marquee Magazine is celebrating 15 Years in print.

I can say that over the past fifteen years it has been a “bible” for me as I search out what my friends in Colorado music are listening to and going to see.  Congratulations to Brian and Jessica Johnson and Senior Contributing Writer  Tim Dwenger.

From their website:  “The Marquee strives to be the Farmer’s Almanac of the regional music scene — providing readers with facts, tid-bits, in-depth feature stories and a Calendar section that is unparalleled on Colorado’s Front Range, covering every live music venue from large venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre to small clubs and coffee shops. Get in Touch…”

Hellova run you guys.  Much love.

News about a couple of regional record stores broke over the past week:  Absolute Vinyl Records & Stereo in Boulder is closing its doors at the end of March, after almost a decade selling “…close to 100,000 records and well over 2,000 pieces of stereo equipment,” according to Doug Gaddy, who co-owns the shop with his wife Annie.

Recydled Records LP in Longmont has moved from its former location at 3rd and Main in downtown Longmont, to a larger place on the west side of the city on S. Hover.

CP S12 EP08 2018

March 5, 2017 … this is the 9th Anniversary of the Colorado Playlist (formerly Colorado Sound) blogsite.  Can’t say thanks enough to those who come here often – knowing that people are coming by is enough for me to keep this going.

Colorado music history is filled with examples of musicians who moved here and stayed awhile and those who moved here and stayed permanently.  As well, the stories also extend to those who were born and/or raised here and moved on to other places.

John Oates has been a Colorado resident and participant in our statewide music scene for many years.  His Rocky Mountain rhythm section – Michael Jude and John Michel – also make up two thirds of the Vail based Brother’s Keeper.  John has also produced records for Colorado acts Paper Bird and David Starr, and released a single with Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic.

The Wood Brothers are Chris and Oliver Wood.  They grew up in Boulder and left, separately.  It’s been reported that at their Red Rocks appearance in 2017 they said they lived in Boulder.  They may list Nashville as their current location, but Boulder will always be home to Chris and Oliver.

Both John Oates and The Wood Brothers have new albums out that I just added to the playlist, and included in this week’s MMMM.
