CP S14 EP29 2020

Monday July 27 2020Every dollar matters in the life of a musician in our scene today.  One of my favorite places to help out is at Bandcamp.  In an era of streaming, where our artists make nothing, Bandcamp still provides a way for us to show our support by purchasing downloads and merchandise.  This week’s Bandcamp features are new releases from Bison Bone and Charlie Stevens.

Cary Morin holds onto the #2 spot in this week’s TOP 5 statewide spins and rises to #3 on the more national/internationally based RootsMusicReport Colorado album spins chart, behind the nearly undisputed Album of the Year from future Colorado Music Hall of Fame artist Nathaniel Rateliff.  

My Video Pick of the Week comes from one of, if not the TOP rock music video company in our scene today, Digital Myle.  Digital Myle is a Denver based professional film/video production company headed by Kyle Lamar. This week’s featured video is Sharone‘s Can We Pretend.

Please help Rocky Mountain Music Relief feed musicians.  Donations of $15 or more receive a #COmusic COVID mask as a thank you. Proceeds will benefit food needy musicians and their families. Please make sure to provide your address so we can mail your mask.

I am happy to support  FOCOMA (Fort Collins Musician Association)  Drive and Jive – a weekly series showcasing some of Northern Colorado’s popular acts.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

CP S14 EP28 2020

Monday July 20 2020Cary Morin and Daniel Rodriguez, formerly of Elephant Revival, break into the TOP 5 this week with new releases, and Eldren is featured with the Video Pick of the Week in advance of their new album due out in August.  MMMM = Julian FulcoPerron, Eldren, John McKay and Kayla Marque.

Records are great but live music is the energy behind every great song.   It’s great to see that in the midst of a pandemic, innovation is allowing us a modicum of soul satisfying performances – soul satisfying for those of us in attendance  and for those on stage.

Drive-In shows, open air concerts in parks and restaurant patios have been tremendous opportunities for us to indulge in a favorite Colorado pastime, but PLEASE remember – be respectful indoors and outdoors. Maintain social distancing and when you can’t, wear a mask.  It’s either that or we have to go back to our rooms and nobody wants that.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

CP S14 EP27 2020

Monday July 13 2020 – I can’t recall a time when I was told I couldn’t play something that had already been released to the public via streaming sites or YouTube.  But that’s exactly what’s happening with some good friends of mine.

Bonnie and Taylor Sims are both Bonnie & the Clydes and a side project called Everybody Loves an Outlaw.  An ELAO song called “I See Red” hit twelve million spins on Spotify. Add in the 2+ million plays on YouTube and you have a verified hit.  BUT … radio cannot play it.  So I cannot play it.  BUT – I can share it.  Here only.  Not on the show.  Not until I’m told I can by the label.  In the meantime, here’s a new video from Bonnie & Taylor doing the hit “solo.”

Another new release is also sitting in my catalog that I can’t play on the radio, but can share here.  “All the Misery Money Can Buy” is the latest from my pals in Gasoline Lollipops.  It’s available wherever you get your music.  And it’s the best thing they’ve done to date.  The new album, recorded in Louisiana, is due out September 11.
