Noah Gundersen (February 23, 2014)

Noah Gundersen is that special artist who proves that sometimes less is more.  His new album "Ledges" is a beautiful display of writing and singing that we don't see often enough.  Noah's voice comes from deep within and each note is passionate and heartfelt.  Some might call this music folk, others might classify it as Americana but I don't care how you label it - I just love it.  I think you might as well.  You can check it out on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ledges/id775975226

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Lake Street Dive (February 16, 2014)

Lake Street Dive instantly caught my attention with their incredible covers of songs such as "Faith" and "Rich Girl" and now they are ready for a meteoric rise with the release of "Bad Self Portraits" this Tuesday. The title track has already won me over and their recent appearance on The Colbert Report didn't hurt either. With soulful lead vocals and a band that brings us back to the big band days there is so much to like! Check out the entire album which is streaming now here: http://www.colbertnation.com/lake-street-dive

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Saint Motel (February 9, 2014)

SAINT MOTEL has released a number of albums over the last few years but it is their most recent releases that have me infatuated with them.  "Ace in the Hole" is a really good track and "My Type" is one of the best, funkiest songs I've heard in a long time.  I tend to listen to it over and over again and never tire of it.  From the opening horns playing a riff that just sucks you in to a chorus that forces a head bobbing reaction I love everything about this track. And if the song wasn't fun enough all by itself the video makes it a not to be missed event.

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Skyfox (February 2, 2014)

It's Super Bowl Sunday and since my hometown Broncos aren't exactly doing a great job representing Denver I'm hoping some music will pick up the slack. So check out SKYFOX, a great pop punk band from the Denver area who's latest album "Counter Counter Culture" is full of great songs including "Breakout", "We Had It All" and the title track.  These guys will keep rocking long after this football season is over!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!
