During her time there, she moved into a home filled with toxic mold, which made her ill. She moved into a rental with deodorizers in every room, but knew this was not a long-term option.
After graduating from CSU with an MA in c...
Burt Rashbaum has been writing since he was around 10 years old, first writing short stories in fourth grade. He cites his middle school English teacher, who exposed him to e.e. cummings, as the person who first sparked his interest in poetry.
He moved to Boulder in 1976, subscribing to a writers’ magazine to learn tips and publishing his first poem in the yearly catalog from the Free School. He feels he’s gotten bette...

Cristina Vane has sung for as long as she can remember. Her parents even heard her sing in her crib over their baby monitor. She started playing piano in first grade, sang in choir, and started writing songs in high school to combine her love of playing the guitar and writing poetry.
By the time she graduated from Princeton University, Vane knew she wanted to pursue a music career. Her performing and writing are inspir...
At its largest, d’Lovelies performs as a seven-piece group: Rob Pate on guitar and vocals, Erin Gael Friedman on vocals, Duane Webster on bass and vocals, Ryan McCurry on keys, Mike McCloskey on saxophone, Nate Bitter on trombone, and Colin Mahoney on drums.
Often, the band plays in venues that aren’t big enough for the entire seven-piece to fit. To work around this, they rehearse and even perform in sections, includin...
[As a group, Canyon Collective] doesn’t write structured songs for their performances, instead improvising their material together on stage. They’ll talk amongst themselves about what style of piece they’ll focus on in their next performance, then they’ll perform it on the spot, riffing off of each other in the process.
Recently, the group had the opportunity to perform in a mineshaft for a private party. The performan...
Zach Hedstrom moved to Fourmile Canyon around five years ago. Around that time, he and other musicians in the area started hosting gatherings to jam and enjoy each other’s company. Eventually, this gathering of people started playing local venues as a group, and thus, Canyon Collective was born.
The name Canyon Collective comes from the rotating lineup of the group. While there are core members who consistently play in...

Daniel C. Jones has always been drawn to pedal steel guitar. In the early 1970s, he fell in love with the country rock scene at the time. What stuck out to him, though, wasn’t the Nashville country scene – it was the alternative country scene.
Jones loved the sound of performers such as Jerry Garcia, his project New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Peter E. Kleinow (or “Sneaky Pete”). In 1971, Jones’s brother took him to...
