Colorado Playlist S10 EP45 DEC 2016

I don’t often get a chance to go out for an entire day to see a batch of new up and coming bands – unless I’m working the event.  Sunday I spent the day at Hodi’s Half Note in Fort Collins to see friends, and to immerse myself in seven hours of music from 10 bands, only three of which I knew anything about.

The event was the annual Scene Magazine “Fresh Talent Showcase,” a judged event that awarded the winner time in a recording studio, along with a pro grade photo shoot, a pro level consulting session with Yellowbright, and a slot on the Scene Magazine stage at the 2017 Arise Festival in Loveland next August.

Write Minded took home the top prize, but all of the bands brought game … Congrats to everyone who participated.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK:

besides writing and performing original music both as the leader of the Patti Fiasco, and as part of the country-folk duo Whipporwill, Alysia Kraft is not above giving us her own personal interpretations of other songwriters’ songs.

MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

I conceived of this idea as a way for you to discover some of the new music I played on the show, and to give you the chance to let me know which of the tracks you like, and think I should keep in rotation.  I get a lot of feedback from fans about what’s liked .. and what isn’t.

In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp (my favorite), Reverbnation or YouTube.

It’s not a competition.  It’s just a gauge of how well you like the songs I added this week.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP43 NOV 2016

What a weekend!  The band spent over 12 hours in the studio (Mighty Fine Productions) this weekend working on the debut of my first EP “Sweet Inspiration,” in memory to Miss Pattie (RIP).  I’m hopeful we’ll get it done for a cd release show on Jan 20 and 27 2017.

Spending the weekend in the studio, recording for what really amounts to the first time with a full band, has given me a deeper sense of appreciation for how much work goes into records that are far denser and more layered than a single country-rock-folk release.  Bravo to those who go in and lay out some of the best of the best …

There’s an excellent article in BIZWEST this week about the Bohemian Foundation’s Music District in Fort Collins that outlines the work that folks like Tom Sharf, Bryce Merrill and Jesse Elliott have undertaken .. check it out here.

MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting) = The Patient Zeroes, The Prairie Scholars, The Savage Hearts, The John Weeks Band, 888, B Suite, The String Cheese Incident.  **NOTE = 888 is not a new song.  It’s an established national level hit, but the first time I’ve played it on the CP.  Looking to see what you think of it.  Vote KEEP IT or DELETE IT below.

Colorado Playlist S10 EP42 NOV 2016

Good Monday morning! The Broncos won in a WILD fashion, and the sun is shining.  And in this week’s MMMM (Monday Morning Music Meeting) we have music to KEEP or DELETE from new scene honky-tonkers 5 & Dimer’s, indie-alt rock from Homebody, award winning r&b/dance from SuCh and blues from the Catfish Kray Band with Lady Larea Edwards.

Last week’s titles didn’t generate much in the way of interest it seems – with one of the lowest overall vote totals of the past couple of months.  I don’t know if we were all just burnt out from the elections or not, but I’m hoping you decide to re-engage this week.  With that said, Faceman’s new single Heavy Heart was the crowd favorite generating 92% KEEP IT votes … the rest barely got out of the gate last week.

Dave Herrera was MIA last week.  So no Trusted Ear Scene Report … follow Dave at www.thetrustedear.com

IN COLORADO MUSIC HISTORY 

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK – Prairie Scholars – Minivan …Prairie Scholars are Andy and Jess Eppler – a husband and wife team from Longmont by way of the same Texas school that gave us Bonnie & Taylor Sims of Bonnie & the Clydes fame regionally. Several regional acts have covered songs written by Andy and Jess.  This one was written as part of a crowd funding campaign for a touring minivan.
