Grassroots Music, Adventure, Energy Resilience
I don't know if I've ever listened to Will Johnson in the bright of the day. His music seems to live in the softer light of the dawn and dusk, where things aren't so clear and the quiet helps you tune into the parts of your soul you ignore in the daylight. From fronting the… Continue reading Q&A: Will Johnson
Artist's Palette is a column that connects with the artists, designers and creative innovators in the music and outdoor worlds who drive the visual art we connect with. As someone who grew up in relatively open space surrounded by Maryland farmland, I forget how there is plenty of agriculture to be found within the concrete… Continue reading Artist’s Palette: Latasha Dunston
Set, Setting, Tuneage seeks to share the experience of listening to music in our lives rather than the thinking of music in our minds. There’s a heaviness in the air. Some of it’s the smoke from far off fires that’s depressed any hope in the sky, turning it into an opaque ash. There’s also the… Continue reading Set, Setting, Tuneage: Maya Elise & The Good Dream: Songs for the Breakdown
Normally, the last thing I’d want to do after a 45-hour work week is spend my weekend cutting brush and trimming trees on the side of a mountain in the summer heat. But this weekend wasn’t normal, it was Gladefest and I was more than happy to drive up to Rabbit Ears pass near Steamboat… Continue reading Gladefest at Bluebird Backcountry
I knew Steve Griggs was ripe for adventure when I met him onsite at Lightning in a Bottle 2018. It was my first time working a music festival of that size and it was our job to herd 10,000 cats (people) into their camping spots for the weekend. Mini-bikes are the cavalry and scouts in… Continue reading Q&A: Steve Griggs
There's nothing flash to Denver musician Brant Williams. When we chatted a couple weeks ago at his spot, he welcomed me into a clean and simple apartment in a non-descript area of Denver, one of probably hundreds in the city. He took me down to his little studio in the basement, as clean and simple… Continue reading Q&A: Brant Williams
The newest, grandest and gnarliest mountain bike trail in Colorado is the Palisade Plunge. It ribbons along the Grand Mesa and cuts into the Grand Valley near Palisade, CO like barbed wire, taking mountain bike thrill seekers on a 33.8-mile semi-perilous journey through the desert in some of the most remote and exposed terrain one… Continue reading Q&A: Spencer Rugland of Singletrack Trails
In the Bible it is told that upon his birth, the baby Jesus, Son of God, was visited by three magi. These wise men had followed the North Star for 12 days all the way to the town of Bethlehem to pay their respects to the new king, bestowing upon him the gifts of gold,… Continue reading Q&A: Tri Magi
I think it is safe to say that at this point in the modern world of the internet, video messaging and phones that are essentially pocket-sized oracles, the oft decried attention span of a goldfish is longer than that of a person. But nature has always had a different sense of time than humans. Changing… Continue reading Q&A: Dudley Edmondson
All Rudy Norman wanted was to be on the radio. He had fallen in love with music as a young boy as he shopped around 45s with his older brother. It was his first love and and a joyous constant while the rest of the world churned around him in uncertainty. His dad was a… Continue reading Q&A: Rudy Norman
