THE COLORADO PLAYLIST IS MOVING!

Yep, after announcing a year ago that we would be moving to Grand Junction, it’s finally upon us. As of May 26, we will officially be making Mesa County the new home of Rocky Mountain Music Network and the Colorado Playlist. Thanks to everyone over the past twenty-three years who have helped to shape and grow my endeavor to share Colorado music around the state. Today, the show is aired statewide on over thirty FM frequencies and online. See you all on the Western Slope!

THIS WEEK ON YOUTUBE

CP S15 EP09 2021

March 01 2021 – Twenty days officially until spring! If things keep going as they have been there’s a good chance for expanded audiences at shows this summer.

We may not see fully packed music venues until late in the season, but I’m happy to be co-presenting some live shows with my home station, 105.5 The Colorado Sound.  Make sure to visit my FB pg for information.

Nathaniel Rateliff and The Grand Alliance hold onto the top two spots this week, with the latest from Five Iron Frenzy pushing its way into the #3 spot.  I fully expect to see Rateliff’s “Redemption” hold onto that top spot for the next few months.  The rest of the TOP FIVE will likely disappear by next week.

BIG NEWS this week = KSJD (Cortez, CO) will begin airing HR2 of the show on March 13th at 2PM.
