Alysia Kraft – Chris K's Colorado Playlist

CP S17 EP10 2023

Barr Lake, Brighton, CO – Winter 2022 courtesy of ClearVistasPhotography

MONDAY MARCH 13, 2023. Claire and I are off to Death Valley this week. Looking forward to some desert warmth and spring flowers. So, if there’s no post next Monday, you know why.

The word is out that I’m “retiring.” Not entirely. I’m leaving Northern Colorado radio & music after a forty-five year run and moving to Grand Junction. I will continue to produce the Colorado Playlist. And who knows what else I can do in “retirement.”

#COMUSIC TOP FIVE WK ENDING 3/11

Spin data pulled from the Colorado Playlist, 105.5 The Colorado Sound, Indie 102.3, 88.9 KRFC and ten other stations that use playlist generator Spinitron, offering search functions for artists and agents to track airplay.

*The Wood Brothers are not, specifically speaking, a locally based band, but as it custom on the Colorado Playlist I also include Colorado expats living elsewhere – so long as they were born and raised here, or got started here .. so the new Wood Brothers tracks (one due out in April) get included.*
