Colorado Playlist S10 EP10 2016

Monday morning … NEW MUSIC POLL  this week featuring American Culture, Strawberry Runners, The Blue Rider, Esme Patterson, and the Patient Zeroes.  I have to say it all sounds rather oddly like the sixties to my ears.  It will be interesting to see what your favorites are from this class of retro-pop and rock …

Sorry to say that Radio 94.9 in Northern Colorado has decided to drop the show.  I seriously want to thank long time NoCO radio guru Stu Haskell for inviting me to be a part of things there the past few years.  With me now being on staff at 105.5 The Colorado Sound, and the Colorado Playlist airing on Sunday mornings at 10AM, it did not make sense for 94.9 to continue airing the show.

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.

New Music Monday =

The Jekylls, Rebecca Folsom, Option4 w/ Rose Quartz and Wilson Harwood (Rocktin Grove) … I’ve got new music coming next week from emerging band on the scene Mama Magnolia .. also new next week = The Patient Zeroes, Blue Rider and more

So, I did try to post up last Monday.  I was in New Jersey for a couple of days, unfortunately without access to my computer.  I learned that radio sucks in South Jersey …nothing even approximating what we have here in Colorado.  I did buy the XM option in my rental car.  LOL  Colorado ROX when it comes to radio formats.  Well, Colorado pretty much rox all the time …

My band GOATZ! is back for another season.  April 23 @ FOCOMX .. 5:15 @ Equinox in Fort Collins … a nice tight 45 minute set .. in a festival of some 250 acts from the region … one of my favorite festivals of the year.

ALSO COMING!  THE 10th ANNIVERSARY PARTY of the Colorado Playlist (The Colorado Sound) … June 5th … Mishawaka Amphitheatre… lineup TBA .. but yes, GOATZ! will be appearing.  Details TBA.

GOATZ! will also be appearing at the 9th Annual Carbon Valley Music & Spirits Festival on Aug 6.
