The Colorado Sound S9|EP42 2015

Monday  Tuesday morning .. this is going to be short and sweet this week.  Family drove in yesterday Sunday from the east coast, and I’ve had other family staying with us the past two weeks.  It’s been hectic here at the goat den lately, LOL.  So …

In case you missed it during the past week:  Oskar Blues Lyons/Longmont has tapped local singer-songwriter Danny Shafer as the new talent buyer, taking over for the departing Hunt Frye – who was brought in last March. Word from friends in the scene has it that Hunt is focusing his efforts on putting together shows for the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, which was recently merged with Cervantes in Denver.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP24 2015

RDP_1271BWI’m baaaaack!  LOL.  It’s summer.  YAY!!  It’s about time .. now folks can commence on hatin on the heat LOL .  This time of year is more about what live music I’m diggin’ than what records I’m all about.  And this wkend really was the kickoff with the Westword Music Showcase.  You can catch a “review” of the acts I saw as soon as I’m able to convert the files and mash them up into something serviceable.

Last Thursday at the Bohemian Nights Thursday Night Live show, we had a perfect night for the legendary Shakedown Street now in its 27th year – and of course only one original member is still in the band after all this time.  Still though if you’re a deadhead, this band slays.

I spent a good part of my father’s day with Fred Gowdy, aka Freddi Love Gowdy, of Freddi-Henchi Band fame … and now of Chris Daniels & the Kings featuring Freddi Gowdy.  My conversation with Freddi will appear here and on the air in July as part of Offstage Beyond the Music.

I’m very excited to be presenting some very incredible Colorado talent this summer …

I got really lucky this past week.  I got enough time off that I was able to go out and sit in an audience.  Or two.  Or three …. or four?!

Mrs Goat and I managed to take in the CSO “Turn Over the Keys” on Thursday night, while Friday night was Jaden Carlson at Oskar Blues in Lyons, Saturday evening was the grand opening celebration at Might Fine Production and recording studio .. and Sunday we got in a little bit of Pete Kartsounes with Michael Kirkpatrick (Telluride Troubadour of the Year Winner 2014). at Homemade Liquids and Solids in Longmont.

pics from the CSO show and from MFP.

No new music shares this week.  Sorry.
