I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really starting to eat into my monthly retirement income.

Please support by using Venmo at chrisk-2 OR the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo).

If you represent a business that would like my listeners to know about you, email me at coloradoplaylist@gmail.com for details.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

CP S15:EP34 2021

MONDAY Aug 23 2021 – I put the mask back on. It’s a reminder that COVID is not over with us. #COMUSIC – support.

A new project hit the stage this weekend in Fort Collins – currently known only as “MA,” the band is made up of John Magnie & Steve Amadee from the Subdudes and Del Shamen + Eric Thorin (bass) and Lionel Young (vocals, violin and guitar).

In the meantime, the Colorado supergroup Del Shamen that features John, Steve and Eric along with Nick Forster (E-Town) and Jock Bartley (Firefall) appears to have played its final show as part of the Bohemian Light Livestream that took place last weekend.

Two of the most esteemed elder statesmen of our music scene are Chris Daniels & Hazel Miller, whose latest What We Did! is currently trending to be in the TOP 10 for 2021. They hit #1 again this week here and at Roots Music Report TOP 50 Colorado.

Other trending titles include the debut of the High Hawks, along with the latest from Leftover Salmon and A.J. Fullerton

THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE

CP S15 EP07 2021

FEB 15 2021 – I added a new feature to the show a couple of weeks ago.  Every week I’ll feature one of the incredible stations that air the Colorado Playlist.  This week’s featured station is 88.7FM KRZA Alamosa, “connecting cultures along the Upper Rio Grande.”    Please take a minute to visit their website or drop a note thanking them for supporting Colorado music on their Facebook page.

Andy Frasco & the U.N. held on to the top spot in this week’s spins with Antonio Lopez flashing in at #2 on the heels of all the spins it got statewide this week as a result of being on Middle Class Rockstar with Andy Sydow.

Indie 102.3 hit the debut from Grand Alliance nice and hard this past week, and Wellington Bullings is still a favorite there.  And yes, Colorado stations love jazz – hence the stellar Scenes of Changery from Adam Bodine closing out this week’s TOP 5.

Are you a working musician in Colorado, or a soundperson, stage hand, etc employed pre-COVID but seriously struggling to pay for rent, utilities or food?

Rocky Mountain Music Relief can’t meet all your needs, but we can offer some help. There’s an application at the bottom of the page.

The Colorado Playlist is provided to member stations at no cost.  Your support is deeply appreciated.  Your support will help to keep the program on the air.


Middle Class Rock Star is a podcast hosted by  Andy Sydow.  Every week or so I feature a 7 to 8 minute segment featuring  a conversation Andy has with some of our scene’s top music makers and industry personalities.  This week’s guest is Andy Eppler.
