In 2019, Sarah Christine was comfortable. She had been with the same employer for 13 years and had been making music as a side hustle, releasing albums in 2017 and 2018, respectively, with a nationwide tour gearing up to happen in 2020. As we all know, 2020 and the Coronavirus had other plans for so many of us, including Sarah. The cushy office job had become a nightmare: she was faced with the prospect of either choosing to quit or staying and having to fire large numbers of her team. The planned Let Go Tour was postponed, and as the virus raged across the US and the world, who knew how things would end up? Facing an uncertain future, the safe choice would have been to keep her job and hunker down. Instead, Sarah Christine bet on herself and leave the company so she could focus full-time on music. Sarah has a new single called Vices, a duet with Boulder's Taylor Tuke, coming out tomorrow, February 12th, but you'll hear Vices first exclusively a little bit later right here on ColoRadio. Sarah Christine proves that by believing in yourself and not taking no for an answer, we are all capable of so much more than we think we are, and that we truly are "in it together". Her DIY attitude, her spirit, and her soulful voice are some of the many reasons we selected Sarah Christine as our artist of the month for February.

Joy, Susto and Birdtalker in 2018 and 100+ other performances under their belt, Whitacre is a group blurring the lines of folk, indie rock and bluegrass music.

We had a chance to chat with up-and-coming Denver pop artist Zach Maxwell at the 2019 Underground Music Showcase. We talk about the Denver music scene, Zach's impressions of UMS, moving from New York to Colorado, his inspirations as an artist, and more.Zach Maxwell is a producer, songwriter, dancer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. By producing his own music and playing all the instruments in his tracks, he has been able to create that sound that he was searching for: melodies and production that are infused with influences from gospel, sacred music, hip-hop and pop, all with the underlying intention of connecting people to something greater than themselves. A sound that uplifts audiences and creates magic in the room. His music feels both ear-catchingly familiar and uniquely unexpected. Music that makes you want to think and feel. Music that makes you want to get down. Music for life.Watch the interview on YouTube: https://www.facebook.com/nocofm (https://www.facebook.com/nocofm) Support this podcast
