#COMUSIC – TOP 30 JULY 2022

Top of Trail Ridge Road, RMNP, August 01, 2022

Aug 02, 2022 – At the bottom of the JULY TOP 30 you’ll find TOP “10” charts for 88.9 KRFC Fort Collins, Indie 102.3, 105.5 The Colorado Sound and eleven other stations around the state that report to Spinitron.

Spin data is pulled weekly on Sundays and may overlap from previous month. Monthly spin data is compiled on the last day of the month.

  • Eighteen debuts (D) for the month.
  • Nine titles stayed from previous month
  • Four titles re-entered the chart. … Including the biggest surprise of the month re-entering at #1.

    A couple of remarkable events took place in July. First – you all set an all time July record for most visits in a month… by far! Second, David Starr‘s Touchstones album came out of nowhere to land at #1… by far! (disclaimer: Starr’s Guitars is a supporter of the Colorado Playlist.)

Spin data pulled from the Colorado Playlist, 105.5 The Colorado Sound, Indie 102.3 and eleven stations that use playlist generator Spinitron, designed to benefit non-commercial community/public and college radio stations and offering advanced search functions for artists and agents.

CP S16 EP27 2022 – GRAND JUNCTION

View from Colorado National Monument looking north towards Grand Junction and Fruita

AUG 01 2022 – WOW! You all blew the monthly view count out of the park! Thank you for visiting. I’ll get the JULY monthly spins up in a day or two. In the meantime, check out the new music and videos in this week’s MMMM from Twenty Hands High, Dayton Stone & the Undertones, Violet Pilot and Dzirae Gold.

We finally got to visit Colorado Playlist sponsor Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge! If you’re looking for some nice wood, this is the place. Yeah, they send, but they’d rather you stop by the store. I sat and picked on a few beautiful Larrivee guitars – my favorite since I own two. It was great to meet store manager Candace. Sadly, David Starr wasn’t home this trip. Next time my friend!

Speaking of visiting Cedaredge – we spent a few days in Grand Junction this past week. We went to a show at the Avalon Theater. This is one of the nicest sit-down venues in our state. At just under 1100 seats, the recently renovated state-of-the art theater features comfortable seating, exquisite line of sight, sound and lighting, all experienced while sitting near the back of the orchestra section.

Local blues legend Bobby Walker has opened there for several national stars many times over the years. David Starr will be supporting the classic yacht rock band America coming up on Aug 20.

Another Grand Junction venue worth visiting is the Mesa Theater, about a two minute walk down the block from the Avalon on Main Street. There was a poster up featuring the Tejon Street Corner Thieves from Colorado Springs who recently appeared there. InTheWhale is there on AUG 27.

If you’re partying on Main Street in Grand Junction, there are several very nice restaurants to enjoy. We ate at the Winery, a long standing fine dining restaurant in a “…90 year old building that used to house a horse drawn carriage fire station.” Buyer beware, this is not a budget friendly restaurant.

There’s also the French inspired LeRouge! We enjoyed one of the nicest charcuteries we’ve had anyplace, before the concert. They and the Winery have wonderful wine lists, as you’d expect of the region. And then there’s the British Isles themed Goat and Clover Tavern. You KNOW we ate there! Every picture in the place has a goat in it. Hmmmmm.

The British / Irish Pub inspired menu features bangers and mash as well as corned beef and cabbage …and somehow or other the owners are connected to Elijah Craig bourbon distillers.

I will be returning to Grand Junction to emcee KAFM‘s Annual Radio Daze Music Fest and Fundraiser on Sept 10.

Don’t overlook Grand Junction! Also, the wineries in the area are big supporters of Colorado based acoustic music.

CP S16 EP26 2022

Coors Field, July 22 2022 – The Lumineers, Gregory Alan Isakov, Daniel Rodriguez

July 25, 2022 – WOW .. the TOP 5 blew up this week! No surprise really, since the Lumineers were headlining their first (sold out?) stadium show, in their home town – and featuring two other Colorado acts, Gregory Alan Isakov (a regular headliner at Red Rocks) and Daniel Rodriguez (formerly with Elephant Revival, a former Red Rocks headliner).

David Starr, Euforquestra and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats were bumped out this week. It was also surprising to see Nightmare Daydreams by the Velveteers re-emerge in the TOP FIVE.

With one week to go David Starr, The Lumineers, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Euforquestra and Greensky Bluegrass top the leader board for the #COMUSIC JULY TOP 30 … will it stay that way?
