The Colorado Sound S7/EP05 Feb 2013 + Video of the Week.

chris k july 2010Every week I receive a fairly large amount of new music to evaluate for the show.  I’d say most of what I get makes it on-air at least once.  I don’t know if that’s because I’m only receiving the cream of the crop, or if we’ve just become that good in Colorado.  I like to think it’s a bit of both.

I’m often found cruising Facebook, scanning for items of information I can use in the news and notes section of the show, or just information about artists in general to talk about.  Recently, I saw a post for a show that got my attention, not because of the headliner, but because I mistook the message and thought a different band was having a cd release party… whereupon I immediately contacted that band about their new cd.  Of course, to my chagrin, I discovered I had made a mistake.  I was subsequently turned onto a new artist … whose cd release party it really was … and was told that she’d done very well on YouTube, with 24,081 subscribers and 2,399,645 video views, and that she sells out the rare show she does locally.  So, with that background – may I please introduce to you Miss Elise Lieberth with our video of the week selection.
