MONDAY JULY 24, 2023 – We’re home. What a trip! NW Colorado is as unique and beautiful a place as there is in our state – and most of the rest of the region tbh. Claire had one night, our first after driving nearly five hours, to shoot clear vistas and stars. Rain and/or clouds obscured the night skies the rest of the week. Oh well – next road trip is mid-August to Mesa Verde for the Persied Meteor Shower.

Speaking of Mesa Verde, KSJD, serving the Mancos/Cortez and four corners section of the state, will NOT be airing the Colorado Playlist for the foreseeable future. Please continue to support this locally programmed community station as I wait for a new slot for the show to open up.

I need your feedback. Despite the really nice number of you who visit weekly, the MMMM has been receiving fewer votes. REMINDER – the MMMM was designed to gauge what you think is the BEST of the Colorado Playlist new music every week. A highly favorable “like” sticks around for future plays. A highly disfavorable vote means the song is more likely to disappear from my library.

Share the love – share #coloradomusic.

I NEED YOUR HELP! – It’s getting increasingly more expensive to maintain this show on a weekly basis. As much as I’d like to, I can’t keep spending my savings to produce the show. Please consider supporting. Venmo chrisk-2 or use the donation form below.

CP S16 EP07 2022

Monday FEB 14, 2022 – If you thought there was any chance at all that Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats or the Lumineers would get bounced out of the top two spots in the weekly spins charts, dream on. Dango Rose, Corey Harris and Head for the Hills jump into the TOP 5 this week.

Despite numerous attempts at concert calendars of various types, there has never been a single one-stop shop for live music in Colorado, until now. Please visit LiveMusicColorado.com.

There you’ll find 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).
