by Tanya Houle, Teacher @ Devereux Cleo Wallace [email protected] [email protected] Coming from a family with a rich musical background, I can relate to how important the art of music is in one’s life, to the development of one’s whole being, and the value of expressing oneself through it. I grew up with a variety of […]

The Manager’s Corner December 2011
by Chris Daniels [email protected] I’ve managed my own band since the 1980s and despite the amazing change in technology, success in the music business is built around four tried and true elements: great music, really hard work, and timing (often mistaken for luck).

by John Feuling [email protected] I’m giving this Boulder sextet’s new disc a second spin on my ridiculously huge PA speakers in my man-cave. It’s a five-song EP, apparently recorded in one day, and it’s interestingly good. The recording gives you five different reasons to go see these guys, though there must already be a […]
The Bright Light Social Hour
Self-titled CD review by John Feuling One thing about Colorado bands: they sound a little like something else, yet they sound a lot different than anything else. The self-titled release from Bright Light Social Hour is no exception. The sparkly production on this record makes it a good listen, but the instrumentation and musicianship […]
