Traditional bluegrass band next up ...

Next up in Parker Library's Live Local Music Series is traditional bluegrass band Kantankerous.

Join us at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, in Room A at Parker Library. If the weather is nice, we're moving the band outside to the south lawn.

From the band's website:

"Kantankerous delivers it's own brand of high energy, traditional bluegrass with a repertoire stretching from Bill Monroe to Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. The group features tight vocal harmonies and cookin' instrumental solos that spotlight traditional fiddle tunes and hard driving breakdowns mixed with heartfelt ballads."

If you missed our last show with Casey James Prestwood and the Burning Angels, you can check out the show on our YouTube channel.

Here's one of the three clips you can find there:

Artist review: Colorado Goat Ropers Guild

Colorado Goat Ropers Guild -- Fly [LP]

It is notable that the Colorado Goat Ropers Guild did this CD at Notably Fine Audio in Denver, because this is the finest stripped down classic country I’ve heard in a while and it stands alone very well precisely because of the clean production. Good vocals and standout instrumentation round out country lyrics that are fresher than the usual fare: “How many times must I call you back … I’m just a fool for you / Then again, I’m not. I’m a laughing martyr alone on a cross.” The 10 tracks on this CD showcase a brand of austere Americana that will appeal to almost everyone who digs a little Johnny Cash more often than not.

Band members: Wayne Russell (guitar, vocals), Charlie Russell (bass, vocals), Glenn Taylor (pedal steel, vocals), Todd Moore (drums, percussion)

Recorded and engineered by Mario Casilio and Colin Bricker at Notably Fine Audio, Denver

Quote of the Day from my FAV music blogger ...

"We're in an era of revolution. All the old institutions are crumbling and new ones are being built. Don't listen to the cries of those whose businesses are being decimated, music will survive. And if it's as good as that of the people in this movie, everyone will know it and it will rain down cash." -- Bob Lefsetz, LefsetzLetter
