Limited Space Left for Tonight's Richard Shindell House Concert


With overnight lows below freezing in the Pikes Peak region for the next week, we heartily recommend staying warm by attending one of the many live music events happening in the area.  As of this writing, the Pikes Peak Concert Calendar lists some 42 shows for you to choose among.  Here's a sampling of ten of the best:

1.  Richard Shindell, Friends House Concerts, Wed Nov 12 (7:15 pm, $30).  Rocky Mountain Highway is proud to partner with the Luckett family to present this gifted and talented singer-songwriter in an intimate and cozy concert tonight.  At this point there is limited extra room for more guests, but you may still be able to reserve seats here.



2.  KCMJ Launch Party feat. Barrel House String Band and Woodshed Red, Ivywild School, Thurs Nov 13 (6:30 pm, free).  With just 36 hours left in the Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign for the area's first all-volunteer community radio station, all tax-exempt donations are greatly appreciated!  Please join the folks who have been working hard to make KCMJ a reality for an evening of music, fun, games, special guests and a silent auction.  In addition to BHSB and Woodshed Red, there will be a performance by the new female duo We Woke Up Like This.  And we are excited to announce that plans are in the works to bring The Grass Roots Revival back to the airwaves via KCMJ, after a year's hiatus!

3.  Blue Frog, Front Range Barbeque (Old Colorado City), Fri Nov 14 (7:30 pm, free).  Our friends at Front Range Barbeque are celebrating 15 years of great food, friends and music with complimentary appetizers, drink specials and the release of Firestone Walker's XVIII Anniversary Ale.  Blue Frog will be providing the jams with help from some special guests.  Note that the birthday party was moved from Wednesday to Friday due to the cold.

4.  Afroman with D-Stylz, 17Ent w/DJ Earsiq, Madtrees and Stoney Bertz, Rawkus, Thurs Nov 13 (8 pm, $15).  Afroman may be the perfect spokesperson for the post-legalization age, spreading his dope message through such classics as "Because I Got High" and "Let's All Get Drunk."  And those are the tame songs!  For this show he'll be joined by hip-hop royalty from the Springs and Denver.

5.  Holy Ghost Tent Revival with Chimney Choir, Ivywild School, Fri Nov 14 (8 pm, $10).  A six-piece band from North Carolina, Holy Ghost Tent Revival has been described by NPR as a "soul-rock horn band that recalls 60s and 70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers, contemporary indie-rock acts like Dr. Dog, and New Orleans brass-band jazz."  Meanwhile, Denver-based Chimney Choir continues to build its southern Colorado fanbase following a great performance at the MeadowGrass Music Festival earlier this year.

6.  The Haunted Windchimes, Songbird Cellars (Beulah), Fri Nov 14 (SOLD OUT).  You snooze, you lose.  

7.  Barrel House String Band, Black Forest Community Center, Fri Nov 14 (7 pm, $5 BRAS members and students, $10 non-members).  The Black Rose Acoustic Society gets down and dirty as Manitou's favorite jamgrass hippie trio comes to the big forest.

8.  Nick Moss Band, Crystola Roadhouse (Woodland Park), Sat Nov 15 (8 pm, $18 - $38).  This is not your father's Flip-Tops.  Nick's current band looks exactly like what you'd expect in a band that plays a rowdy bar like the Crystola, and you can bet this quintet will own the room with its blues grooves. 

9.  Dance for Peace featuring Mo' Mungus, Ivywild School, Sat Nov 15 (7 pm, free).  Pikes Peak Peeps get down for Peace, People and the Planet in this Indy Give! Party sponsored by the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission.  Donations are encouraged and will benefit the J&P and Seeds Community Cafe, which is in the process of revamping The Local food truck.  Bring on the reggae music - it's gonna be irie, mon!

10.  The Features with CHAPPO and SOUND STUDIES, The Black Sheep, Sat Nov 15 (8 pm, $12 adv, $14 day of show).  The Nashville indie rockers return to the Sheep with a brand new EP, Good Old Days.  Sponsored by The Alternative RXP @ 1039, The Features will be joined by Brooklyn psych-rock outfit Chappo and Colorado Springs' own Sound Studies.

And with that, it's time to get on the bus and hit a music venue near you.  Please let us remind you that donations to Rocky Mountain Highway are fully tax-deductible because we are a component fund of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, so if you appreciate the effort we put into bringing you this weekly e-newsletter, the Pikes Peak Concert Calendar, the MeadowGrass Music Festival, and all manner of live, original music - simply click here to make a contribution.  

Many thanks!

Steve Harris, Executive Director
