COLORADO TOP 30 MARCH 2021

We’re now five months into the new release year that begins in November.

The #1 SINGLE = NATHANIEL RATELIFF – Redemption
The #1 ALBUM = A.J. FULLERTON – The Forgiver and the Runaway

I expect it to stay that way through at least the spring, and likely longer.

It’s also worth noting that a handful of releases have sustained their TOP 30 status, including:
6. FIVE IRON FRENZY – Until This Shakes Apart LP (Jan-21)
7. GASOLINE LOLLIPOPS – All the Misery Money Can BuyLP (Sep-20)
9. CARY MORIN – Dockside Saints LP (Jul-20)

CP S15 EP10 2021

March 08 2021 – Colorado legends top the spins this week as Nathaniel Rateliff stays at #1 and Five Iron Frenzy continues their hold on the #3 position. Award winner A.J. Fullerton, named as one of the “Top 75 Blues Artists You Must Hear in 2021” by Rock and Blues Muse, DEBUTs at #2 this week.  Check it out below.

More and more news is coming out about this summer’s concert season. Breaking within minutes of posting up this morning, Gavin Dahl at KVNF (Paonia) is reporting that Telluride Bluegrass Festival will go ahead but with restrictions on attendance (2500 vs normal 12,000) and spread out over multiple weekends with no night shows and no vendors.  Talks are progressing with the town and there is no word on camping.

Hudson Gardens has announced that their summer series will be canceled for another year “…because of the strong likelihood of ongoing capacity restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”   Their post goes on to say, “We will soon announce a partnership with another local cultural organization, so the Concert Amphitheater won’t be quiet for long.”

I got word over the weekend from reliable sources that AEG exec Don Strasburg has suggested we’ll be back to normal by late July or early August.  No one knows for SURE what the summer will actually look like, but when I posed the Strasburg rumor to Levitt Pavilion executive Chris Zacher, he said “we all will be” (back to business this summer).  #eternaloptimist #fingerscrossed

COLORADO TOP 30 FEBRUARY 2021

March 02 2021 – There are certain things that should never come as a surprise; Nathaniel Rateliff once again leading the weekly TOP 5 or monthly TOP 30 is one of those. The other is Indie 102.3 leading the state in the amount of Colorado music they feature monthly; hence most of the (D) entries for the month.

Obviously, not every (D) is because of Indie 102.3. Other stations along with the Colorado Playlist were responsible for the (D) status of titles from Five Iron Frenzy (#10), Antonio Lopez (#14), David William’s Trickster Carousel (#16) and Southwestern Colorado alternative and alt-country-rock stalwarts the Lawn Chair Kings (#19).

A new station has hit the Denver airwaves at 104.7FM – it’s called the Drop. I’ll be looking forward to adding whatever Colorado artist titles they spin over the next months.

Aside from the titles tracked here weekly and monthly, Roots Music Report also charts airplay for Colorado releases weekly. However, the titles charted there include many that were released years ago, making their charts slightly irrelevant when it comes to what NEW music djs in Colorado and around the world (terrestrial and Internet) are spinning.
