CP S13 EP31 2019

MONDAY AUG 12 2019 – Well, it was a long weekend.  For me, it started last Thursday night when I emceed a show at the Levitt Pavilion featuring Andy Thomas’s Lost Walks, and headliner Slim Cessna’s Auto Club.  Then it was onto Bohemian Nights at New West Fest for my 15th season on the Mountain Ave stage.

To say that the music swirls around and through me is an understatement.  What I did manage to glean from the long weekend is that acts like Slim Cessna’s Auto Club (who also performed at Bohemian Nights) are actively working on new releases for later this year and early in 2020.

This coming weekend, I will host and perform at Well-O-Rama in Wellington CO, the first of what I hope will be another continuing series of shows I’m involved with.  The show lineup includes Leslie Tom, GOATZ!, The Devil’s Share, Sugar Britches and Jackie & the Racket.  11AM – 6PM / FREE / FAMILY FUN

KBUT / Crested Butte aired an hour of the show on Sunday Aug 11.  If you’re a part of that scene, pls let them know you would like them to air both hours, in rotation.

I’m not a picture taking kinda person .. but I snapped this one at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest on Sunday at 12:45PM during Head for the Hills set.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK

One of the exceptional sets displayed this weekend at Bohemian Nights was the Sunday afternoon opening set by Head for the Hills.  I’ve known this band since they began, roughly twelve years ago now.  Originally, and primarily, a progressive bluegrass band, they have morphed into something other – part funky rhythm and blues, tied to their more traditional underpinnings laid on top of Americana folk and bluegrass.  This video represents their more introspective folkier side.

CP S13 EP30 2019

Monday August 5, 2019 – I am in the heat of festival season.  This past weekend I produced and hosted the 12th Annual Carbon Valley Music Festival in Dacono, CO.  It was the most successful in our 12 year run with easily over 4000 (est.) in attendance.

This coming weekend I will emcee the Mountain Ave Stage at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest for my 15th season.  The following weekend I will produce, host, and perform at Well-O-Rama in Wellington CO, the first of what I hope will be another continuing series of shows I’m involved with.

All that said, this week’s PLAYLIST is all about Bohemian Nights.  I presented 24 of the 80 acts scheduled to perform this year. See YouTube playlist below.

In other news:  I got an email from a station that ran the show early on for six months, and dropped it.  A new manager at that station stated they’d like to re-add it, scheduling permitting.  #fingerscrossed #CrestedButte

CP S13 EP29 2019

Monday July 29, 2019 – OK – it’s not every day that you wake up to the Governor of the State of Colorado, Jared Polis, sharing an old Denver Post interview from 2016, and saying how much he loves the Colorado Playlist.  Seriously?  I was giddy like a 13 year old and got weak knees for a second (yes, I told him that… the weak knees part). #starstruck #fanboy

If you haven’t been, I highly encourage stepping over to Colorado Music Experience .  Since leaving the Colorado Music Hall of Fame as executive director a few years ago, G Brown has launched what I consider to be the official and quintessential online archive of Colorado music history.  His daily posts about events, birthdays and more are part of my everyday browsing experience.

We’re up to 30 followers to the Colorado Playlist on Spotify and 110 songs, including recent adds from SUCH, Selina Albright, Gerald Albright, Tia Fuller, Bill Frissell …
