MONDAY NOV 21, 2022 – Happy HOLLYDAZE … and happy Thanksgiving in general. Thank you for an amazing year here at coloradoplaylist.com … yeah, I know – I’m still a month away from the end of the year.

Dec 6 is Colorado Gives Day, an annual day of giving for the non-profit world. The CP is not a non-profit company, but it does serve the non-profit radio world in Colorado.

The Colorado Playlist relies on donations to pay the cost of operation. The stations do not pay for the show.

Launched in April 2006, The Colorado Playlist is broadcast over 25 hours a week on approximately thirty FM frequencies in Colorado.  Streamed world-wide and archived weekly, the Colorado Playlist is the most widely heard independent music program in the state. 

Your donation would go a long way to helping defray the costs. – Thanks! – Chris K. Venmo chrisk-2 or use this form.

THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE (not all titles are present)

CP S15:EP29 2021

MONDAY JULY 19 – I needed to wait until this morning for the official announcement for Bohemian Light Music Festival (formerly Bohemian Nights at New West Fest), the first of the three major Colorado-centric music events held over the summer.

This year’s event will be a smaller version of previous festivals, held over two days – Aug 14/15 – instead of three. Of course, it also means fewer acts than in past years: I count 45, down from what is normally about 70-75. Bohemian put together their own ’21 Bohemian Light Music Festival playlist.

Last week, the UMS announced its own scaled down lineup for Aug 27-29. I lost count of Colorado acts when I got over 95, a pretty hefty representation. Check out seventy-five of my favorites for the UMS on Spotify.

Adiel Mitchell, Heavy Diamond Ring, Kiltro, Los Mocochetes, The Milk Blossoms, The Still Tide, The Velveteers and Wildermiss are among the acts performing at both Bohemian Light and the UMS.

The annual Westword Music Showcase has moved to two days, Sept 17-18. Westword has not yet announced its Colorado lineup.

I’ll be featuring acts appearing at these events over the next several weeks.
