WOOD BELLY – Chris K's Colorado Playlist

Picture = Curious Theater 25th Anniversary Subscriber Brunch, Sat May 21 2022

MAY 23, 2022 – Colorado is known for being an arts friendly state. Not only do we have one of the most vibrant music scenes in the country but we have a world class art museum to go with renowned live theater venues like Curious Theater Company in Denver, named #1 Live Theater Venue by Best Things Colorado.

Claire and I are annual subscribers. It was great to great a preview of the upcoming 2022-23 season and to be a part of the 25th Anniversary celebration. There’s a great article in 5280 about founders Chip Walton and Dee Covington, who will leave the company at the end of its 25th season.

JAN 03 2021 – Well, #1 is #1 – right? And Nathaniel Rateliff AGAIN holds onto the #1 most spins for DECEMBER 2020. Sarah Slaton and Dafna swapped the #2 position with Dafna’s debut dropping to #16 and Sarah Slaton’s latest jumping up from #17 in NOV, due largely to being a featured artist for DEC on Indie 102.3 and getting added to regular rotation on 105.5 the Colorado Sound.

New artists to watch for include Blakk Mantra, whose debut got added and made it to HOT rotation at 105.5 The Colorado Sound for December and former Chimney Choir co-founder Kris Drickey who struck out on her own with State Change (not avail on YouTube)
