The Colorado Sound – V4 EP23 2012

I love the summer but not the heat.  LOL.  I love all the great opportunities we have to get outdoors and see live music in our communities.  If you’re around next weekend, I’ll be appearing as emcee at the Westword Music Showcase on Saturday June 23 (venue tbd), and at the Colorado Brewers Festival on Sunday June 24 … with a great lineup that includes Lion Souljahs, Beats Noir, Wasteland Hop, Fierce Bad Rabbit, Blue Canyon Boys, Mama Lenny & the Remedy, Liz Barnez …

in the meantime .. thanks for tuning into the show this week.  KRFC will no longer be rebroadcasting on Tuesday night, so your only chance to hear it in NoCo is on Saturday nights at 8PM.

BAM! – Danielle Does a Movie

I knew the theme behind Danielle’s newest hit – Faith in a Man.  I knew it would have a 1930s groove going on visually.  But this is totally badass and I have no doubt will fully and finally secure her alongside other Colorado breakouts such as the Lumineers and Tennis to name two.  No further comments from me – watch the video and form your own …
