Colorado Playlist S10 EP19

Monday (early afternoon) — sometimes it takes more hours to recover from a long hot weekend of live music than I care for LOL.  It happens.  Saturday I spent the day in the sun with Mama Lenny & the Remedy, Grant Farm, and Justin Roth as part of the Poudre River Fest in Fort Collins.  Yesterday my recover was broken up by a sound gig in Lyons.  All in all a nice weekend of music.

In the Monday Morning Music Meeting this week I have three tracks from Bonnie & the Clydes, Morning Bear, and Wolf Poets .. unfortunately, SIR (formerly Sarah & the Meanies) did not have an embed file available to share with you.

And let me know if you’re paying attention here … I know you didn’t vote last week (I can “see” you LOL).

Enjoy.

Video Pick of the Week

SUPPORT PROVIDED BY

As much as I would hope that support comes easily it does not – anymore so than for anyone else in music.  I am deeply thankful to the Mishawaka Amphitheater for sponsoring this program – and to you for dropping a few bucks in the tip jar on occasion.  Thank you.  FUND ME.

If you’re a Colorado business engaged in music, music related activities, hemp, or other earth friendly products message me for information about how you can support this program.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

What you’ll find below are new songs on the show this week … listen to them again (or for the first time) and let me know which ones you think I should keep in the Colorado Playlist.

I conceived of this idea a way for you to discover some of the new music I played on the show, and to give you the chance to let me know which of the tracks you like, and think I should keep in rotation.  I get a lot of feedback from fans about what’s liked .. and what isn’t.

NOTE:  In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp (my favorite), Reverbnation or YouTube.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP09

Boy oh boy .. it sure seems that if it’s not one thing it’s another … two weeks ago I was in New Jersey and couldn’t post up … last Wednesday we lost power for 24 hours and I could not produce a new show … so we ran a repeat (S10 EP08).

Spring is special for music.  I don’t know what it is, and I never have, but it sure seems that folks get the bug to go out roundabout March every year … I’ve seen it for over 20 years now.  March & April … come June?  Yeah, not so much for the summer – that’s outdoor season.  But for now I’m enjoying seeing the rooms full of live music fans at Oskar Blues in Longmont and Lyons where I do sound on Friday and Saturday nights.

Every year I’m asked by about a half dozen entities (cities, venues, festivals) for my take on who’s who and who should be considered for booking … of course it’s a challenging task.  More so now.  The shear volume of skilled, talented and adequately rehearsed acts increases every year.  The number one concern among buyers is, “what’s the draw?”

For national acts the answers can easily be researched via publications like Pollstar.  Locally we don’t have any reliable way of tracking tickets sold, or seats occupied – we have to rely on our eyes, the buzz generated on the street and online.

Seeing packed rooms sure does make my life, and that of my colleagues, a whole lot easier.  Support … Represent … Enjoy … Repeat.

Listen for new music in EP10 … coming your way April 2-9.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP45 NOV 2015

All in all this was a pretty quiet week.  Mrs Goat and I are looking forward to Thanksgiving, so I’m not too sure about a new show for this coming weekend.  Much more likely it will be an encore show this week.

Update on wife:  no news to report.  She has another test this Wednesday.  We’ll know more next week.  In the meantime, the stress got to me 😦  LOL.  Stomach mechanic (doctor) on call.  March on!  Let’s not stop this train …

Our band, Goatz! (acoustic) will be appearing on Dec 17 @ Oskar Blues/Lyons.  7-9PM, All ages, No cover.  Hope you’ll keep that in mind.

New music editor at Westword.  Katie Moulton.  Read it from her own pen.

Have a superfantastic week.

Goat
