gasoline lollipops

Fresh out of the legendary Dockside Studio in Lafayette, Louisiana, Gasoline Lollipops are promoting their new album, All The Misery Money Can Buy, which pursues happiness and the American Dream to the end of the rainbow and chokes on a pot of gold. Gas Pops collaborated with Clay’s song-writing Mama, Donna Farar (“Last Thing I Needed” recorded by Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton) to create this politically-charged union of soul music and Southern rock.

Gasoline Lollipops are three-time winners of Colorado Daily’s “Best Local Band” award, and two-time winners of Denver Westword’s “Best Country Band” award. Over the last four years, they have toured throughout the U.S., Belgium, the Netherlands, and Belize. In 2018 they made Billboard’s top 10 Spotify chart, as well as Pandora’s top 10 Trend Setters list. Today, the Gas Pops continue to bend genres and electrify live audiences with ferocious sincerity.

Jamie of James and the rise

James and the Rise is influenced by many musical genres from Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Rock and even Classical music. Although we don’t place ourselves into one specific lane, one might call us an Indie Folk and Americana group. The vision for this band was to bring original songwriting together with a group of musicians that have varied musical backgrounds and influences and to use a diverse, multi instrumental approach to our arrangements.

Simply put, we came together to play what each of us hears and feels in the music and together, wrap each song with a range of instrumentation. Our individual sound continues to emerge and evolve through multi generations of music and experience.

LVDY

We met in 2012 studying abroad in Dunedin, New Zealand. It took us approximately 5 seconds to realize we were going to be the best of friends. We started playing together in our cold NZ flats, on front porch couches of Kathleen's college houses, and in the kitchens and living rooms of friends and family.

Over the years we talked about our dreams of traveling the world and pursuing music. It always seemed like a distant possibility. What started as late night kitchen jam sessions, open mics, and groovy covers turned into original tunes that sparked a musical connection we couldn’t deny. When timing and connection aligned 6 years later, LVDY was born.

Dave Tamkin

Veteran singer-songwriter Dave Tamkin, along with his band Dave Tamkin & Co., announce the release of the new single “SHOES”. “SHOES” will be exclusively available for download/streaming at www.davetamkin.com/music on April 1, 2020 until the worldwide release on April 7th where it will then be available on all major streaming services.

Dave Tamkin joins forces with Brad Huffman & Chad “Chadzilla” Johnson to create a unique style of melody driven, acoustic sounds that is based around a fresh musical vision for Dave’s newest single “SHOES”. He tells a story about embracing the road in front of you with all it has to offer while not judging the characters that cross your path or join you on your journey. These introspective lyrics come with a fast paced tempo, creative harmonies, smoking guitars, a driving deep back beat and playful piano and horn instrumentation. 

Avery Johnson

Avery Johnson is a multi instrumentalist, specializing in cello, guitar, and tenor banjo. He has been playing the cello since age 3, where he studied with Brenda Villard until age 18. He attended the University of Colorado at Boulder School of Music and studied with Judith Glyde, Thomas Heinrich and David Requiro. At CU, he played in ensembles including the CU Boulder Symphony, the Eolus String Quartet, and the Eklund Opera Program as a pit musician. He has been playing guitar since age 14, playing in various indie rock bands in the Boulder area.

Andrew Sturtz

When singer/songwriter Andrew Sturtz isn’t playing folk, jazz and soul in local Boulder venues, he’s out on the festival circuit, bringing his potent voice to stages like the Riverlights Festival in South Bend, IN; The Traverse City Microbrew & Music Festival in Traverse City, MI; and ARISE Festival in Loveland, CO.

Since his first gigs at only 12 years old and recording an EP as a teenager, Andrew has captured audiences with his ability to shift seamlessly between soulful acoustic music and fronting bands from multiple genres. He often plays throughout Boulder, Colorado, at venues like eTown and the Laughing Goat and has also played notable venues in Denver like The Walnut Room and Swallow Hill where he opened for the Grammy nominated group, The Secret Sisters. His precise guitar grooves and seemingly limitless voice inspire comparisons to scene favorites such as Martin Sexton and Amos Lee, among others.
