CP S12 EP40 2018

Monday Oct 22 2018 … Here in about another two weeks we enter the 2019 release year – which will include any NEW releases submitted for airplay after Nov 1.

2018 has been a rather amazing year. Currently in the CP song catalog for 2018 there are over 390 song titles … from over 100 LPs alone – not including EPs and single releases.

So far this year I’ve seen more singles released than at any time I’ve done this show over the paste 12 years. This weekend I spoke with the owners of one of our prestigious studios. They affirmed they’ve seen more singles being produced than at any time they could recall.

Basically, it’s going to make for an interesting end of year “Best Of.”

Congratulations to Randall Frazier and Elisa Canali. Randall is the long time production manager and talent buyer for Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox as well as a longtime label owner (Helmut Room), sound and recording engineer, producer, tour manager and musician in the scene. Randall and Elisa met when Randall took her on as an intern learning sound. She is now Randall’s assistant and soon to be legally married life partner. Much love to both …

Ophelia’s has also announced they’re launching a new label based on live recordings that Randall will produce at the venue. The launch is set for early 2019.

The Colorado Music Hall of Fame class for 2018 has been announced. It’s a night dedicated to AEG’s Chuck Morris, who got started promoting shows in Boulder in the late 60s. Also being inducted – 97.3FM KBCO, a pioneering station with air talent that reaches back into the 70s and 80s.

The show will include performances by Amos Lee, Leo Kottke, Todd Park Mohr & Brian Nevin (Big Head Todd & the Monsters), Isaac Slade & Ben Wysocki (the Fray), Bill Nershi and members of the String Cheese Incident, Drew Emmit & Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon) and the Lumineers. The house backing band for the show is Chris Daniels & the Kings. Governor Hickenlooper will be hosting the roast of Chuck Morris. Dec 3 2018 – The Paramount Theater.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

It shouldn’t be a secret and there’s little doubt that Gregory Alan Isakov is a perennial BEST OF Colorado artist – with a string of exceptional releases, and headlining slots at Red Rocks. Gregory is in a class of his own in our scene. This is from his new album Evening Machines.

CP S12 EP39 2018

Monday Oct 15 2018 – The week starts off with some pretty fine news. Rolling Stone France apparently spotlighted 4 Colorado acts – The Lumineers, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club and A.J. Fullerton – the multi-award winning blues artist originally from the Western Slope.

When you’re recognized internationally along with two of the biggest acts in modern popular music, that says something about how you’re affecting people positively with your music. WTG A.J.

Something to watch / listen for in S12 EP41 of the show that will air Oct 20-26 … Henderson Goodale and Betsy Mortenson from Sustain Nature & Music stopped by the goat den last week to chat about their organization.
