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 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 …

CP S13 EP27 2019

Monday July 15, 2019 – Rumors started to circulate recently on Facebook (yeah, I know – right?) that Colorado Music Hall of Fame band Sugarloaf had dropped tracks for a new album.  Of course original members Jerry Corbetta (lead singer), Bob Yeazel (guitarist) and Bob Raymond (bassist) have all passed away, so the news of some kind of Sugarloaf “reunion” came as a real surprise.  Turns out the story has a little truth to it .. .from a family of the band perspective.

According to Bob Raymond‘s son Aaron, “We did go into studio with my son (Bailey Raymond aka Kick Stevens) and re-recorded Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You and Texas Two Lane. Clark Hagan (local Denver producer) did the producing.  He also did a recording of Green-Eyed Lady with (original members) Bob Webber (guitar), Bobby Pickett (bass), Myron Pollack (drums) and another guy from Nashville. Sorry I don’t remember his name. Hope to have the two new songs released this winter. We are still working on the vocals.”

Stay tuned …

I reported last week on the wonderful compilation from Longmont’s Wind Over the Earth recording studio’s “Longmont Project” to benefit Longmont High School’s music program.  The new track below from Bridget Law is from that project.

This week, the Boulder Daily Camera has a story on Future Arts Foundation (FAF) and their series called Strings & Stories taking place in Longmont. Future Arts Foundation is “a nonprofit that supplies musical instruments and art materials to public schools and after-school programs.”  Strings & Stories is a concert series put together by FAF and 105.5 The Colorado Sound.
