The Colorado Sound S9 EP35

Late getting this post done.  Busy busy weekend …. my band played Thursday and Sunday evenings, and my wife and I performed at the inaugural RimRock Music & Camping Festival in Conifer.  Got to “sleep in” today LOL … (no, not really) …

I got a pretty cool anthology this week that contains some rare and unreleased cuts from the Monocles / The Higher Elevation called “The Spider, The Fly & the Boogie Man” that came out in 2008 on Denver’s Gear Fab records.  It’s all music from the bands as they emerged from about 1964 to 1967 ,…. good stuff.

The first two The Colorado Sound Presents @ (The Walnut Room) / (Avogadro’s Number) went well.  We’re working on some upcoming pairings at both rooms.  Look for upcoming shows with Danny Shafer and with No Fences among others … Goatz! has also been invited to perform at a new room in Denver, that’s due to “open” for music in October – more on that as it develops, but it seems that this new place will be themed Americana, bluegrass, country, and folk.

I got confirmation this week to do an episode of Offstage Beyond the Music with Bloodshot recording artists the Yawpers … I’ll be sitting down with them in October for a November episode of the series.

The Colorado Sound – MONDAY AUG 17 2015

Monday morning … usually my weekly playlist update etc.  Today is the day AFTER the biggest weekend of the summer for me, and what really is the culmination of my “year.”  There are no more festival events for me this year, as there has been in years past.

There was bittersweet news that came out of this year’s event. The Aggie was sold, and long time Aggie sound engineer Dean Curtis wound up in the hospital dealing with unannounced medical issues.

In a FB post Friday night, Adam Stroul  posted: “It’s a historic day for Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, my partners and I can finally announce to the public that we have purchased the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins. A ton of respect goes out to my good friend Scoo Leary who kept the Fort Collins music scene alive for years and years, from the Starlight to the Aggie, and has now passed the torch on to us. Fort Collins, we’re going to bring more of that Cervantes flavor to this great city than ever before.”  

Reviews on the street from musicians I spoke with were mixed, as with any major change.  I’ve known Scoo for as long as I can recall now … his history in the FoCo music scene goes back at least to the late 80s.  He’s always been an ardent supporter of our scene, and whatever he moves onto, I wish him well.  Sources close to the deal say that there’s new sound equipment moving in, and an interior upgrade.  That’ll be very good as the house p.a. currently in play is pretty well worn out and out of date.

What’s not known today is the direction that Adam and Scott and the team will move Fort Collins, and if they’ll continue the high level of support for Fort Collins bands that we’ve enjoyed the past 13 years.

Also on Friday night the 14th, I received word that Dubskin would not be able to perform this year because their bass player, Dean Curtis, had been hospitalized.  Dubskin posted “We regretfully announce that due to an unforeseen medical emergency we will be canceling our next 2 shows at New West Fest on Sunday Aug 16th & at Hideaway Park in Winter Park on Thursday Aug 20th. Send prayers up for a speedy recovery to bassist Dean Curtis while he deals with a private medical condition and DubSkin will see you soon. Respectfully- DubSkin”   Dean is very well known around Fort Collins.  I most recently saw him when he did monitors for our show at the Mishawaka last week.  Nothin’ but love from goat and the family.

News broke on Monday that Megan Burtt signed with Sweetwine who also reps Euforquestra and Trout Steak Revival among other Colorado and non-Colorado acts …

Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene turned in a blistering set — literally — on the Mountain Ave stage at Bohemian Nights this weekend.  It had to have hit 105 on the stage under a typically intense blast of late afternoon sun since the stage faces west.  Looking forward to doing a show with them in Fort Collins at Avogadro’s Number September 13.

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.
