If you’re looking for an incredible weekend of indulging yourself with yummy wines and delicious food- the Steamboat Wine Festival is for you! The festival is next weekend in Steamboat Springs. Listen at 12:30pm tomorrow for your chance at tickets to the Grand Tasting next Saturday (sorry if you missed the Friday Stroll of Steamboat tix but I gave those away earlier this week).
If you’d like to find out more about The Steamboat Wine Festival visit their site by CLICKING HERE It’s one of my most recommended Colorado annual events! Last year I took the gondola ride on Sunday before coming back to Denver and it was beautiful!
I was out with friends this past weekend and we ended up wandering down on Broadway- catching snippets of The UMS and hitting up some boutiques. I found this precious owl ring at True Love (along with a stellar pair of wedges).
I’m a girl who loves her quirky accessories and this one has become my latest obsession. Can anyone relate?
Sky Sailing- An Airplane Carried Me To Bed *Sam’s Pick* This is the side project of Adam Young (Owl City). Rather than rely on an electric sound, he instead uses this project to express himself through guitar and piano arrangements. In my opinion- it’s a bit reminiscent of Death Cab. Owl City fans- don’t despair- he’s still planning on releasing new material under that project as well and it should be soon.

Enjoy tonight’s show!
1. Train- Hey Soul Sister (Country Mix) Album: This mix can be purchased on iTunes/it’s not on the album Website:http://www.trainline.com/us/home
2. Anberlin- Impossible Album:Dark is the Way, Light is a Place (Release Date: September 2010) Website:http://www.anberlin.com/ The new album title for the group’s 5th studio release comes from the Dylan Thomas poem “Poem on His Birthday.”
3. Nikki & Rich- Cat & Mouse
Album:Everything (Release Date: September 28, 2010) Website:http://www.myspace.com/nikkiandrich
LA’s Nikki Leonti and Rich Skillz have an unmistakable chemistry. The duo was paired up to do some writing by Nikki’s manager and discovered they had a little something more so they joined forces as an act.
4. Gin Blossoms- Miss Disarray
Album:No Chocolate Cake (Release Date: September 28, 2010) Website:http://www.ginblossoms.net/
The guys in the GBs enjoyed immense success in the mid 90s with songs like “Follow You Down” and “Til I Hear It From You.” Last year they released a live album that had recordings of several fan favorites and a cover of “Rocket Man” from Elton John. No Chocolate Cake will be their 5th studio album and their first full-length of new material in 4 years.
5. Brandon Flowers- Crossfire
Album:Flamingo (Release Date: September 24, 2010) Website:http://www.brandonflowersmusic.com/
A lot of the material for this album was originally written for The Killers but since the band wanted a break- Brandon decided to use them for a solo release. Charlize Theron is in the video and she kicks some ninja’s butts. Watch the video below:
7. Burnham- Catch Me If You Can
Album:
Website:http://burnhammusic.com/ If you aren’t tired of young boys singing about love they can’t possibly understand yet (like Justin Bieber), here’s another group for you. But seriously, the 3 brothers, Alex, Andre and Forrest have been performing together for 7 years (they are only 18, 16 and 14!). For this release, the brothers collaborated with very well-known songwriters like Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic who co-wrote this song with them. And yes, they are going to be touring with one Justin Bieber.
8. Jarrod Niemann – Lover, Lover (cover of Sonia Dada)
Album:Judge Jarrod & The Hung Jury Website:http://www.jerrodniemannofficial.com/
This one might sound familiar… because the chorus was written by Dan Pritzer of Sonia Dada. The title of the SD song is “You Don’t Treat Me No Good.” In his bio- he credits some other inspirational moments in his song-writing to artists Electric Light Orchestra and the Beach Boys. Before his solo career launching- he’d written songs for Garth Brooks, Julie Roberts and Blake Shelton (among others!)
The following recordings were done in our Alice AT&T Session Studio Monday, July 12, 2010.
