The Colorado Sound S7 EP17 May 2013

station controlLOL … ok, I have no shares this week… it happens.  It’s been one of those weeks.  I’d say that I highly recommend the new debuts this week, but that kinda goes without saying.  Very pleased that I was able to debut the new Head for the Heels this week – way in advance of their upcoming new album due out in July.  Fans of Dan Fogelberg, John Denver, and James Taylor will enjoy the new Danny Shafer album, Wherever You Are.   And, I continue to be impressed with the Beki Hemingway record, “I Have Big Plans for the World” that I’ve been featuring the past few weeks now.

I got an interesting email from miss Megan Burtt this week.. she’s up to some kinda good …but it’s a secret and she ain’t tellin.  LOL.  Based on the questions she was asking me, this is going to be fun to see develop.  In the meantime I’m looking forward to a new record from her.  Got to hang out and do sound for Halden Wofford & the Hi*Beams this weekend.  Their new album is going to the mastering stage – with a hopeful done date by the end of May.  Count on hearing it here first.  Katie Glassman showed up for the second set… she’s heading into the studio on Monday to record her sophomore effort.

On next week’s show new music from AdrienneO and Sam Lee

In the meantime check out The Colorado Sound “TV” – the best of what I’ve found to date on YouTube

The Colorado Sound S7 EP13 April 2013

Goat_Logo_color_on_whiteSome great new music broke on this week’s show – including the first single from Rob Drabkin‘s upcoming 2nd full length due out in June … and a debut by Durango resident Thom Chacon that features Bob Dylan’s legendary rhythm section.  Also shared this week, another cut from the new Paper Bird album, “Rooms.”

In News & Notes, April is Public Radio Music Month.  Please text, msg, email, call your local public radio station and thank them for supporting Colorado Music.  Two major Colorado music events to post about … FoCoMX on April 19 and 20 … and the Upper Colfax Root 40 Music Festival and Expo, April 22-28.  I’ve been invited to speak on two panels during those events, on April 20, and April 22.

I did not come across a new video this week.  I have been, however, enamored of SHEL’s re-imagination of the Led Zepplin classic “Battle of Evermore” … and happened on a video of the girls performing it about two years ago …
