Hi folks. I could use your help, please.

I’m mostly retired now and the costs of producing the show, tracking airplay and maintaining the site are really starting to eat into my monthly retirement income.

Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 OR use the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo).

If you represent a business that would like my listeners to know about you, email me at coloradoplaylist@gmail.com for details.
_________________

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

Monday FEB 21, 2022 – PatchyDenseFog, Julia Kirkwood and Erik Lunde jump into the TOP 5 this week. And yes, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and the Lumineers are still anchored in the top two spots. I don’t see that changing in the next several weeks – but I’ve been wrong before.

The Colorado Playlist needs your help. Below you’ll find a donation form. Please donate. The cost to produce and distribute the show is not covered by the stations, or the few businesses I mention weekly. I need help with this. Please.

LiveMusicColorado.com features LiveMusicMegaSearch™, a searchable database of artists/bands (as many genres as exist, including original and cover/tribute bands), venues (of all sizes, shapes and offerings) and events (by city, distance, genre and more).
