News, Notes and Spins – June 1, 2014

BN NWF 2012 GOAT ON STAGEWe can now call it official.  It is outdoor music season.  I could not be a happier goat.  That is my most favorite place to be, besides sharing Colorado music with you over the airwaves.

May was a very interesting month.  A good chunk of the month was spent dealing with personal health issues (I’m fine …can’t kill goats or Keith Richards apparently …hmmm).  I also got the final inspiration to create a new podcast debuting on July 12.

“Offstage …Beyond the Music with Chris K” will feature casual sit down living room / coffee table chats with some of Colorado’s most legendary music personalities, music industry leaders and other colorful Colorado music luminaries.  That debut will coincide with another BIG announcement coming sometime between now and July 1.  Keep your eyes open for that one.  We’re making history in July you guys.  You’ll want to be here for that.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Congratulations to Eef & the Blues Express and Cary Morin for winning their respective categories in this year’s Colorado Blues Challenge held June 1 at the Buffalo Rose in Golden.

Since it’s outdoor show season, you can also follow the action as I bring you short video segments of the shows and people and places I’m a part of this summer.

The Colorado Sound S8 EP19 May 2014

Coming in July – a new Rocky Mountain Music Network / The Colorado Sound Presentation —- and I need your help.

chris at ob hmls sunday june 16 2013Nowadays it’s pretty easy to find out about folks who play music here in Colorado.  We’ve got lots of great music discovery programs and video sessions. Loft Sessions, Second Story Garage, and Open Air 1340 are the creme-du-jour, and then there are the interview programs that feature live music like KRFC’s Live At Lunch.   Want to know about the music, the band etc?  Easy.  Want to find out about the person him/herself?  Not so easy.

So, here’s the deal.  Beginning in mid July I will be debuting a new podcast.  Coming up with a new idea wasn’t easy.  I’ve been asked for several years to consider doing a music or interview based podcast.  Music podcasts are out as a matter of federal copyright law, and all of the interview programs I’ve heard have been heavy on music talk – not personal talk.

Inspired by (and instigated by) the “gentle persuasions” of two very good friends of mine in Northern Colorado radio, and currently being developed under the working title “Colorado Living Room Sessions,” host Chris K, aka goat, will visit music dignitaries, luminaries, legends, award winners, industry leaders, and emerging regional and national Colorado acts – in their (living rooms) – providing a much more intimate “look” into the lives of those who bring us our music.

The story is not about the music, but the person behind the music. It’s me  and  ______________ sitting comfortably, chatting about life, family, sports, profession, influences, inspirations, challenges, kids, grand kids, jobs, whatever and wherever the conversation may go.

This is not to say that music won’t be a part of the podcast (LOL … like that would ever happen), but it will be used as a bridge or break or to amplify some facet of what’s taking place in the conversation. And of course, if there’s a new record or major event or something music related, it will be included.

Currently we’re planning a 15-20 minute podcast.  There is also ongoing discussion whether I’ll do a weekly or bi-weekly episode.  The thought right now is that each episode could will be produced in two 15-20 minute parts (EP1/part1, EP1/part2)…  with a new episode every other week … lots to consider.  Shorter segments of 2-3 minutes will be edited for inclusion in weekly radio shows, as a tease for the full podcast.

David Glasser (Airshow Mastering, NARAS Board of Govenors)

Currently signed up:  David Glasser (Airshow Mastering, NARAS), Chris Daniels (Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee), Liz Barnez (Bohemian Nights) and Mark Bliesener (bandguru, Lyle Lovett, BHTM).  

NEED YOUR HELP HERE

Chris Daniels (Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee)
Chris Daniels (Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee)

This is where you come in.  We need a title.  So what the hell .. how bout it?  Care to jump in and help out?  Here are a couple of suggestions with a place for you to write in a response.  Have at it.  I’ll pull together all the suggestions – pick which make sense from my side of the table – and we’ll have a run-0ff fan poll in June to determine the winning idea.

SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FANS, FRIENDS, and FAMILY

mothersdaycrayonsignHappy Mothers’ Day.  Not too much to say today.  Enjoy the day with your mom if you can, and if you can’t then enjoy the warm memories we all share of our mom’s.

We’ve been enjoying the incredible 1982 Zephyr Heartbeat album the past month … and we’re not done with it yet.  Gonna have to be soon though, as new classics are coming in this month from Billy Ryan & Black Irish (2005 remaster of 1988 S/T album + demos) and then sometime around the end of the month we’ll have the newly remastered 1969 Zephyr, featuring Tommy Bolin, Rainbow in the Bathtub as well as outtakes, demos and Zephyr Live @ Tulagi’s record to share.

Looking forward into June, we should have the self-released album from the wonderful Richie Furay, who turned 70 this week.  WOW!  Happy Birthday Richie.

Don ‘t forget … next Saturday – MAY 17 … to join me at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre for Head for the Hills with Grant Farm and Gipsy Moon.
