News Notes and Spins May 1, 2014

The first “offical” (unofficially speaking) festival weekend of the month has come and gone … with what appeared to me to be record crowds at FoCoMX (Fort Collins Music Experiment) #6.  That at least from my vantage point at Equinox Brewing on Fri and Sat.  On Sunday, my wife and I purchased a vendor space at the Root 40 Music Festival.   Some very good friends also happened to be there.

ParkHouse_logo_squareAward winning producer/engineer John Macy (pedal steel – Casey James Prestwood & the Burning Angels) and I spent a LOT of time taking about the new “house” he’s in – called Park House, it occupies the space on E. Colfax and Madison (actual address is 1515 Madison) once adorned by the Normandy Restaurant.

John has opened up the NEW Macy Sound Studios in part of the building, and suggested that live recordings and live-streaming shows are in the works.  There are a few videos at the venue website … well worth checking out this “new” venue (guess it’s been open over a year now?) …  and some crazy good artists/bands playing the room.  John also told me he’s remixing the second release from The Congress – and that the new Richie Furay record will be self released sometime this summer.

In a sign to take our mortality, and our health, seriously, both Dan Treanor and Johnny O wound up in the hospital this past month.  Dan and Johnny both seem to be none-the-worse for the heart problems that put a smack-down on our friends, and the out pouring of support from musicians all over the region was genuine and heartfelt by everyone.

Also in news this week … it dawned on me that this is the 30th Anniversary of some auspicious happenings in our scene … 30 years ago Candy Givens from the band Zephyr died after drowning in her hot tub, from a deadly combination of alcohol and Quaalude.

zephyr bathtubZephyr c0-founder David Givens is releasing a number of recordings from the Zephyr catalog, including the 1982 “Heartbeat” record, and a box set that contains the “Rainbow In the Bathtub” record from ’69, a live show from Tulagi’s in Boulder, and a cd of outtakes and demos.  Amazon shows it will be available on May 27, and a limited numbered run is currently available for pre-order.  David also let me know he’s got other Zephyr and Legendary 4Nikators records he’d like to release this year as well.

Other 30th Anniversaries include Chris Daniels & the Kings, who will be releasing a new disc in time for summer that will feature legendary Denver (by way of Phoenix) soul master Freddi Gowdy.  Chris is also finishing up recording the new Magic Music release – from the band that started it all for Chris in the early 70s.  And finally – Airshow Mastering celebrates their 30th anniversary also.  Lots of love to all our friends celebrating this year.
