Send us a textDaniel Rodriguez spent much of his time living in Nederland. While he now lives in Lyons, he still keeps Nederland close to his heart and calls the town the source of his musical roots.From the band's formation in 2006 to its primary dissolution in 2018, Rodriguez served as the guitar and banjo player of Elephant Revival. He was also one of the founders and key songwriters of the group.Once the band dissolved, however, he decided to focus on a solo career, releasing his debut EP Your Heart, The Stars, The Milky Way in 2019. He has since released two full-length albums, Sojourn of a Burning Sun in 2020 and Vast Nothing in 2023. He even collaborated with The Lumineers as a writer and featured vocalist on the 2021 single “This Is Life (Merry Christmas).”He's also gotten his own band together. Performing with musicians in Lyons, he made connections and developed a band from there. Currently, his band, simply known as The Daniel Rodriguez Band, consists of himself, Zach Jackson on bass, Kevin Matthews on drums, and Justin Mazer on guitar.Rodriguez has collaborated with many incredible musicians over his entire career. These include local musicians like Benny “Burle” Galloway, who's written songs performed by groups such as Yonder Mountain String Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Greensky Bluegrass, and Eric Thorin, a two-time Grammy nominee for his contributions to the albums Calling You From My Mountain by the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band and Man on Fire by Danny Barnes.For a few years, he even roomed with Sally Van Meter, who played on the 1994 Grammy-winning album The Great Dobro Sessions and recorded with Jerry Garcia for the album The Songs of Jimmie Rodgers: A Tribute, in what would be Garcia's final recording session before he died in 1995.

As an artist, to grow and achieve success, it is important to put yourself out there, focus on developing yourself, and create what you want without worrying about peoples' opinion. Pursuing your passion with dedication and staying true to yourself is the key factor. Don't just dream but take action towards what you want and make sure it makes you feel fulfilled at the same time. Doing so can reward you in a number of ways.No one ever becomes a professional artist overnight. It takes time, patience, and tenacity to learn the tricks of the trade. You will make mistakes and some of your work may not turn out as expected - that's okay! The only way to get better is to experiment with new approaches, seek feedback from peers and mentors, and keep challenging yourself. If you are starting from scratch, give yourself a break - everyone starts as a beginner. Have faith in yourself and don't be too hard on yourself.In this episode, Wildwoods, a husband and wife duo (Noah and Chloe Gose) along with Andrew Vaggalis on bass, share their story of rebranding. They also share the value of collaboration in creating music and content, as well as their transition from college to the real world. They emphasize the importance of pursuing your own dreams while taking risks to create exactly what you want out of your career.Let's jump in!Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[02:29] How Wildwood's got started and where they are in their journey. [06:08] The instrument side, how the Wildwood plays them in their performance.[12:12] Putting yourself out there and giving yourself a chance to grow on social media.[12:58] Wildwoods' favorite and memorable performances. [17:53] Wildwoods' superpower that has helped them in their journey. [20:28] How Wildwoods navigate the creativity and the business side of their career.[27:02] How to engage with and grow your fan base. [32:21] What does working from your happy place mean to Wildwoods?[36:12] Wildwood's advice to young artists who want to pursue their passion.[41:38] Ending the show with one of the Wildwood's newest releases, West Virginia Rain About Wildwoods: - The Wildwoods are an enchanting Folk/Americana trio based in Lincoln, Nebraska, whose flowing songwriting tandem has been praised by Paste Magazine as "focused and charmingly human." The Wildwoods' delicate melodies and descriptive lyrics come from nature, love, experiences from the road, and growing up in Nebraska.The band released their debut album, Sweet Nostalgia, followed by a duo EP, Birdie & Goose, in 2017 and quickly established themselves as a creative, harmonious, and instrumental force in their local music scene. Since then, The Wildwoods have released another full-length record, Across A Midwest Sky (2019), as well as a handful of singles, Little Home (2020) and Like My Old Man (2021), and have supported touring acts such as Elephant Revival, Arts Fishing Club, The Accidentals, The Way Down Wanderers, and Jamie Wyatt.Along with performing several Sofar concerts in cities such as London, Brooklyn, and St. Louis, as well as a European tour in 2019, the group has performed at several festivals, including Summerfest, The Nebraska Folk and Roots Festival, Wakarusa, and the Flatwater Music Festival.In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2021 The Wildwoods were nominated by the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards as a top Americana/Folk artist in Nebraska, and in 2022 they were named “Best Band” by the Lincoln Journal Star's ‘Lincoln's Choice Awards.' The group's musical momentum continues into 2022 with their latest single release, Thirteen Sailboats, in anticipation for the release of their new full-length LP, Foxfield St. John, scheduled for release in February of 2023.Comprised of husband and wife team Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), as well as Andrew Vaggalis (bass), The Wildwoods draw inspiration from a wide range of influences, including the styles of Watchhouse, The Decemberists, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Nickel Creek, Joni Mitchell, and Gregory Alan Isakov. The folk/Americana trio work to harmoniously and delicately blend their voices to create a sound so nostalgic that you may find yourself dreaming and longing for those sweet memories from your former days.

BIG NEWS FOR MIDDLE CLASS ROCK STAR! We're now reaching 25 FM frequencies throughout Colorado via Chris K's radio show, The Colorado Playlist. My guest this week is Elephant Revival founding member, Dango Rose. For seventeen years, Dango traveled nationally and internationally in touring bands. In 2006, he co-founded Elephant Revival and spent eleven years performing and recording with this influential outfit that pioneered the genre, “Transcendental Folk.” Rose penned band favorites like, When I Fall, The Pasture, Jet Lag Blues and others. Since Elephant Revival decided to go on hiatus in May 2018, Dango has taken refuge in the recording studio while focusing upon songwriting collaborations with various artists. Here he melds his background in traditional forms with the more transformational elements of musical craft. As journalist Marc Tonglen explains, “He reminds me of a cross between Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens and Alan Parsons, while remaining deeply embedded in the progressive Indie-Folk scene. His voice is distinctive, words penetrating and his arrangements— on the edge, yet engaging." In this episode, we talk about Rose's most recent release, Life's Too Short, which came out on November 13. We also chat about his travels in various touring bands and getting to perform alongside the likes of Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck, how Elephant Revival got started, selling out Red Rocks, and what it's like to be stuck with Pete Seeger in a snowed in cabin. Towards the end of the conversation, Dango talks about Elephant Collective, his own studio, production house, and artist empowerment program. Interested artists can reach out to Dango through the Elephant Collective links below.

Dango Rose is best known as a founding member of the ‘transcendental folk” band Elephant Revival. For 17 years he traveled and performed internationally until, in 2018, the band went on indefinite hiatus . Now he has taken refuge in the recording studio to focus on songwriting collaborations with various other artists. Born with a poet's soul and a warrior's heart, Dango embraces his passion for music as a vital healing influence and spiritual path and his life's journey has been one of profound transformation and creativity. www.dangorose.com https://www.facebook.com/dango.rose https://www.facebook.com/dangorosemusic/ https://www.instagram.com/dangorose/?hl=en  -- @dangorose Elephant Revival Website & Socials www.elephantrevival.com https://www.facebook.com/elephantrevival https://www.instagram.com/elephantrevival/  -- @elephantrevival Elephant Collective Productions www.elephantcollective.com https://www.instagram.com/elephantcollectivetribe/  -- @elephantcollectivetribe

Dango Rose is the founding member of Elephant Revival, a band synonymous with Colorado with a commitment to the protection of public land and open space. Dango spent 11 years performing and recording with Elephant Revival, a band that pioneered the genre “Transcendental Folk” and has headlined at Red Rocks Ampitheater three times. When the band decided to take a hiatus in 2018, Dango created the Elephant Collective: a production house, artistic development agency and conscious media platform. The Dango Rose Project is the performance wing of the Collective, which focuses on song-writer showcases and the curation of all-star bands. In this episode of The Boulderista, Dango delves deeply into the artistic process of emerging artists and what it takes to stay true to one's art while rising to the top of the field. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-boulderista/support

Later, Boulder poet Khadijah Queen on her new collection “Anodyne.” Finally, Daniel Rodriguez, formerly of Elephant Revival, turned heartache into his debut solo album.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Rodriguez over Zoom video! Colorado singer-songwriter, Daniel Rod­­riguez, turns to his acoustic guitar for memorable, melodic hooks to accompany his poetic and contemplative folk songs. Boulder Weekly refers to Rodriguez’s voice as “a timeless voice, deep and hearty, weathered but comforting. With over a decade under his belt as one of the founding members and lead songwriters of the transcendental folk band, Elephant Revival, Rodriguez is well-versed in the Americana tour circuit. Before going on hiatus, after their third headlining Red Rocks show in May 2018, Elephant Revival had released six albums and performed countless shows and festivals across the nation as well as overseas. Needing to fill the musical void that might have become following Elephant Revival’s hiatus announcement, Rodriguez immediately headed out on tour as a solo artist. He’s been chosen as main support for bands and shared stages with such acts as The Lumineers, Jim James, Gregory Alan Isakov, Mandolin Orange, Josh Ritter, Fruition and John Craigie in addition to being added to numerous festivals like Northwest String Summit, Lyons Folk Fest, Jam Cruise and WinterWonderGrass. Daniel Rodriguez released his debut collection of songs as an EP titled Your Heart The Stars The Milky Way on February 15, 2019. Since then, he has release two singles from his upcoming debut album, Sojourn of a Burning Sun, due to come out in August 2020 via BMG’s sub-label Renew Records.We want to hear from you!

Maureen Begley and Ang Buxton, cousins and comedians, share the stories of 2 musical artists from the state of Colorado. Ang covers the story of Elephant Revival. This Americana folk band from Nederland has won awards under the genre "progressive edge." They believe in the power of music to connect people, and have a beautiful mission statement: "Where words fail...music speaks." Maureen tells the story of The String Cheese Incident. This bluegrass, psychedelic band from Crested Butte and Telluride combines a ton of genres. They have transformed over the years, infusing innovative electronic music techniques with their Colorado folk sound to make the eclectic sound they're known for. Additionally, they check in about job hunting, the state of the public school system and Coronavirus, and Maureen tells a heart-wrenching story of being passed over for a promotion. Ang is grumpy because [redacted]. Bruin the Dog makes his longest cameo yet. This episode also features segments like: Fuck You, John Denver. Recorded on July 17, 2020.

Actor Mark Metcalf made his reputation playing the "angry white man" as a tightly spun authority figure, most famously in National Lampoon's Animal House and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now in his 70s, Mark examines his creative journey through theatre, film, tv, dance, and becoming a father in the short documentary film Character by Vera Brunner-Sung. The short documentary reveals Mark Metcalf's complexity beyond how the film and tv industry pigeon-holed him. Here is a link to the Twisted Sister music video, I Wanna Rock, where Mark plays the character type he was hired to play in film and tv. The hosts, Josh Hyde, talks about working with Bruce Lee's nephew for an Elephant Revival music video, his new published script - Los Espiritus, and reflects on the entertainment's industry habit to type cast all of the creative people, behind and in front of the camera. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/americanfilmmaker/support

Renowned Arkansas Americana and true folk singer-songwriter and film actor Joe Purdy recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Joe Purdy is joined in this performance by duos the Honey Dewdrops and also Smokey & the Mirror. Also, interviews with Joe. “From his home state of Arkansas to his home in Los Angeles, Joe Purdy has recorded a baker’s dozen worth of albums. His songs have turned up on numerous TV shows and film soundtracks. Most notably, however, in recent years the singer, songwriter and self-described “hillbilly” has come to see the world and his role in it somewhat differently, charting this direction on his latest album, "Who Will Be Next?” Here he firmly plants his feet deep in the tradition of folk artists such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs, applying his unique skills as writer and vocalist as a passionate observer and participant of our times.” - http://www.joepurdy.com Joe is joined onstage by two different husband and wife Americana and true folk duos The Honey Dewdrops and Smokey & the Mirror. “Based out of Baltimore, MD, the Honey Dewdrops continue a long line of husband and wife duos making beautiful music together.  Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish now reside in Baltimore, but have strong connecting roots to the music in their home state of Virginia.” https://www.thehoneydewdrops.com “Smokey & The Mirror is husband and wife duo Bryan and Bernice Hembree.  Based out of Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Smokey & The Mirror have toured nationally/internationally over the past decade.  The band has supported tours for Old Crow Medicine Show, The Wood Brothers, I’m With Her, Elephant Revival, John Fullbright, and many of their musical heroes.” - http://www.smokeyandthemirror.com In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers a 1978 archival recording of Ozark original Sam Younger and himself performing the song “Kicking Mule,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins investigates historic outlaws of the Ozarks. Many famous outlaws including Bonnie & Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd have hidden out in the Ozarks. Brooks guides us through this cult of criminality, recounting details of the Ozark experiences of Bonnie & Clyde in part three of this series called “Public Enemy.”

This week we share our interview with Heidi Zeuner, a well-rounded woman who has a lot to share with the world. She tells us the role cycling has played in her life, of the many places she has lived, and the multitude of sports she participates in. More importantly, we delve into how life trauma can inform perspective and how the outdoors is the ultimate healing space. Please note – Heidi gets into some pretty deep topics, like incarceration, addiction, and the death of loved ones. There are also quite a few curse words scattered throughout.Notes: The aunt Heidi mentions owns Hot Tomato Pizza in Fruita, Colorado and the film produced by Patagonia featuring her aunt is called Life of Pie.

About This Episode At fifteen, Dead Horses frontwoman Sarah Vos’ world turned upside down. Raised in a strict, fundamentalist home, Vos lost everything when she and her family were expelled from the rural Wisconsin church where her father had long served as pastor. “My older brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and my twin had mental illnesses and cognitive disabilities,” explains Vos. “When the church kicked us out, they basically told my dad, ‘If you can’t lead your family, how can you lead your church?’” “At the time we were expelled, we lived in the church’s parish house,” explains Vos. “Suddenly, my father was unemployed and my family was homeless. My parents couldn’t afford insurance for the medical care my siblings needed. We were kicked out and completely abandoned.” However, Vos’ love of music carried on after she left the church. “Almost half of those services [were] just singing hymns,” she reflected in a recent interview. “I also went to a parochial school, so I had to memorize hymns and Bible verses all day, too. When I really look back, before I had the chance to explore music on my own, that was really central. Even the way I write songs [today] is reminiscent of hymns. That’s maybe why I was so drawn to folk music to begin with: it’s geared towards communities singing it together.” By the time Vos turned 18, her family had begun to get back on their feet. She headed to Milwaukee for college, and there, came to terms with revelations about her sexuality that her religious upbringing had forced her to repress. The mix of freedom and relief and shame and guilt was overwhelming, and a depressive breakdown ensued. “I couldn’t take care of myself,” she remembers. “I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t do anything. I stopped going to classes, and then I dropped out altogether and moved back home to Oshkosh. That’s where I met Dan.” When bassist Daniel Wolff and Vos first started playing music together, it felt as if the clouds had finally parted. Vos introduced songs she’d been writing since high school open mics, Wolff learned a new instrument for the band (the double bass), and within months, they had earned a devoted local following. Regular gigs led to steady residencies led to regional touring and their first recordings. Two of the band’s original members ultimately left the group due to opioid addictions (“I still see the pawn shop sticker every time I look at my guitar tuner,” remembers Vos), but the Dead Horses moniker the pair created as a tribute to a friend who’d over-dosed from heroin stuck even after their departure. American Songwriter called Vos “a compelling vocalist…who carries every tune with her husky, deeply emotional tone that feels lived in and real,” while No Depression hailed her songwriting as “beautiful and fresh.” With a fleshed out touring lineup, the group logged countless miles, sharing bills along the way with Trampled by Turtles, Mandolin Orange, Rhiannon Giddens and Elephant Revival in addition to making festival appearances from Bristol Rhythm and Roots to WinterWonderGrass. We were lucky enough to welcome them live on stage at Big Top Chautauqua. About Michael Perry Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author, humorist and radio show host from New Auburn, Wisconsin.

Violinist Bridget Law of Elephant Revival and The Tierro Band  wrings almost infinite emotion and energy out of her instrument while holding an almost impossibly sublime expression. Law's mastery of the dichotomy of lush fills and fiery bursts has a near hypnotic effect on anyone within earshot. The music she and her Elephant Revival bandmates created has become a touchstone in the lives of so many of their fans including me. Super delighted to have her on to touch on the past, present and the world yet to come! Dig it! 

Dango Rose plays bass for Elephant Revival, America's premier transcendental folk band.

His first single from the EP he will be releasing this fall is called "Ala Glory" and, as a special bonus, is included in this podcast! YAY! I can't say enough about this band and the impact their existence and music had had on my life, though I do try a smidge. Dango, Bridget Law, Daniel Rodriguez, Sage Cook, Bonnie Paine became more than just musicians, they became my friends and I am very happy to welcome the first of what will eventually be the entire band to the podcast! DOUBLE YAY!

Daniel Rodriguez has been a guest in our studio several times as a member of Colorado folk band Elephant Revival. That band went on hiatus last year, but its members remain busy. Guitarist Rodriguez has done so by recording his debut solo EP, "Your Heart, The Stars, The Milky Way," which he released earlier this year. Rodriguez returned to the CPR Performance Studio to play four songs from his new record. He also spoke with Bruce Trujillo about the differences between performing solo and with a band, how writing music helped him come to terms with a recent breakup and exploring a more "electric" sound.

Seth and Rob sit down with Mimi Naja of Fruition at the Electric Forest Festival in Michigan and initially talk about what it's like to be playing traditional instruments at a primarily electronic music festival. Mimi ends up explaining the thinking behind the band's decision to bring into the studio the rock feel of their live shows and their decision to go with producer Tucker Martine. Martine taught the band many things, helped them add layers to their sound and he is the chief reason that Mimi decided to play some baritone guitar on the record. The result is by far their greatest record to day, "Watching It All Fall Apart." The trio also discuss how the band's breakup songs contain elements of hope and accountability. We hear a bit about Mimi's days as a Georgia youth and explains her decision to leave Georgia and go to school in Portland. She would leave school and then clicking with a group of musicians while playing Marley and Sublime tunes. These folks would end up becoming Fruition. We learn about the band's the early days, and some of the antics that went on as the band grew (like "song-bombing" Vince Herman). She also talks about how she used to leave pronouns out of her songwriting because of all of the homophobia in the world, but that she has more recently eschewed this approach and been forthcoming with her sexuality. Mimi also explains specific reasons why Atlanta-based musician Janelle Monelle is an inspiration to her, and the fluid nature of sexuality in the music world. Speaking of inspirations, the discussion most certainly gets to stories about Greensky Bluegrass, Elephant Revival, The Infamous Stringdusters and other of Fruition's "Crazy Uncles and Aunts." She also expresses love for her own band's fans, which she calls the "Fruit'y Freaks." Seth and Rob then wrap up the show catching up the listeners on show news during one of the few times they were together last month. Speaking from a coffee shop in Black Mountain, NC they also discuss North Carolina in general, and specifically their day together there. The show ends with more Fruition music including Mimi and band mates Jay Cobb Anderson and Kellen Asebroek sitting in with Railroad Earth and performing Fruition's "Mountain Annie" at the idyllic Red Rocks. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com All social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan. wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

“THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE” is David Block’s principal project as a live electronic composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Listeners experience a delicious symphonic blend of prismatic soundscapes and sultry beats. In this episode, David and I got to talk during a Mastermind Retreat in the jungle of Costa Rica. At this spectacular Permaculture eco-village called Punta Mona our first interaction, actually, was without words during a conscious man gathering at the beginning of the retreat. We eye-gazed, did the "Hongi" and remained in a silent hug for five, very loong, minutes. This short episode is aiming to give you some insights into the creative process that someone like David, lives and embodies on his journey  “The Human Experience” aims to cross cultural barriers through music. David has collaborated with artists all over the world including Rising Appalachia, Ignacio Perez (Buena Vista Social Club), William Close (The Earth Harp), Random Rab, Elephant Revival and many others.   Each song is a sonic journey; interweaving psychedelic layers of melody and harmony with organic grooves and international vibes.

Darren Garvey spent the last two years as the percussionist for Colorado folk group Elephant Revival. That band recently went on hiatus, but Garvey is staying busy with his solo singer-songwriter music. Next month the multi-instrumentalist will release his latest album, "Heart Attack Sleeves," and he performs June 29 at the Walnut Room with Tough Old Bird and Perry West. Garvey stopped into the CPR Performance Studio to play some of his own material on guitar and piano. He also spoke with Alisha Sweeney about producing his own records, his goal to share a new song online every week in 2018 and why Elephant Revival is taking a break.

When I really look back, before I had the chance to explore music on my own, that was really central. Even the way I write songs [today] is reminiscent of hymns. That’s maybe why I was so drawn to folk music to begin with: it’s geared towards communities singing it together.” By the time Vos turned 18, her family had begun to get back on their feet. She headed to Milwaukee for college, and there, came to terms with revelations about her sexuality that her religious upbringing had forced her to repress. The mix of freedom and relief and shame and guilt was overwhelming, and a depressive breakdown ensued. “I couldn’t take care of myself,” she remembers. “I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t do anything. I stopped going to classes, and then I dropped out altogether and moved back home to Oshkosh. That’s where I met Dan.” When bassist Daniel Wolff and Vos first started playing music together, it felt as if the clouds had finally parted. Vos introduced songs she’d been writing since high school open mics, Wolff learned a new instrument for the band (the double bass), and within months, they had earned a devoted local following. Regular gigs led to steady residencies led to regional touring and their first recordings. Two of the band’s original members ultimately left the group due to opioid addictions (“I still see the pawn shop sticker every time I look at my guitar tuner,” remembers Vos), but the Dead Horses moniker the pair created as a tribute to a friend who’d over-dosed from heroin stuck even after their departure. American Songwriter called Vos “a compelling vocalist…who carries every tune with her husky, deeply emotional tone that feels lived in and real,” while No Depression hailed her songwriting as “beautiful and fresh.” With a fleshed out touring lineup, the group logged countless miles, sharing bills along the way with Trampled by Turtles, Mandolin Orange, Rhiannon Giddens and Elephant Revival in addition to making festival appearances from Bristol Rhythm and Roots to WinterWonderGrass. We were lucky enough to welcome them live on stage at Big Top Chautauqua. In this episode of Tent Show Radio you'll hear the show given by Dead Horses when they came to the Big Blue Tent in 2017.

WMSE’s Local/Live once again returns to Club Garibaldi’s for another awesome Local/Live segment that YOU can join! On Tuesday, March 6th, we welcome Milwaukee folk group, Dead Horses for a live show and interview on-site and over the airwaves. At fifteen, Dead Horses frontwoman Sarah Vos’ world turned upside down. Raised in a strict, fundamentalist home, Vos lost everything when she and her family were expelled from the rural Wisconsin church where her father had long served as pastor. What happened next is the story of Dead Horses’ stunning new album, ‘My Mother the Moon,’ a record full of trauma and triumph, despair and hope, pain and resilience. Blending elements of traditional roots with contemporary indie folk, the album is both familiar and unexpected, unflinchingly honest in its portrayal of modern American life, yet optimistic in its unshakable faith in brighter days to come. Earthy and organic, Vos’ songs often reveal themselves to be exercises in empathy and outreach; she writes not only to find meaning in the struggles she’s endured, but also to embrace kindred souls on their own personal journeys of self-discovery… ‘My Mother the Moon’ is Dead Horses’ third album, and it follows hot on the heels of their acclaimed 2016 release, ‘Cartoon Moon,’ which Wisconsin Public Radio called “equally beautiful and effortless.” That record prompted the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to declare Dead Horses a Band To Watch and earned them honors for “Best Album,” “Best Americana/Bluegrass Artist,” and “Best Female Vocalist” at the 2017 WAMI Awards. American Songwriter called Vos “a compelling vocalist…who carries every tune with her husky, deeply emotional tone that feels lived in and real,” while No Depression hailed her songwriting as “beautiful and fresh.” With a fleshed out touring lineup, the group logged countless miles, sharing bills along the way with Trampled by Turtles, Mandolin Orange, and Elephant Revival in addition to making festival appearances from Bristol Rhythm and Roots to WinterWonderGrass. You can join WMSE and Dead Horses at Club Garibaldi’s as we team up for this live radio show. If you can’t make it, listen live over the airwaves (or in the WMSE archives). As always, WMSE Music Director Erin Wolf and co-host Cal Roach will lead Dead Horses through questions in between the live performance with the help of our audience (audience participation is encouraged!). Doors are at 5:30pm and the segment starts at 6pm and runs until 7pm. Club Garibaldi’s is located at 2501 S. Superior Street in Bay View. This is a 21+ event which is FREE and open to the public. Again, if you can’t join us for the live segment and show at Club Garibaldi’s, please tune in, per usual, to 91.7 FM (or stream online at WMSE.org) at the 6 o’clock hour. Local/Live on WMSE is sponsored by Club Garibaldi’s.

Steve Johnson Artist Relations Director was a special guest on The Drive at Five. He talked about MerleFest 2018 and the latest additions to already amazing lineup for 2018 including Rodney Crowell, Elephant Revival, Rhiannon Giddens, and Shinyribs with Kevin Russell. Looking forward to being a part of Merlefest

At a given show with her band Elephant Revival, Vocalist and Multi-Instrumentalist Bonnie Paine can be heard playing washboard, djembe, saw, cello, stomp box, singing, or any other instrument, yet she is a musician who's heart tends to take the forefront of whatever music she is engaged in at the time. From modest roots starting in 2006 as a Folk-World-Americana collective of friends from Nederland, CO, Elephant Revival's steadfast work ethic, near-constant touring schedule and commitment to make authentic and genuine music has earned them an ever growing fanbase and many accolades in the industry; earning spots in major festivals throughout the country, headlining venues the likes of Red Rocks, and being featured in the New York Times, NPR, Guardian UK, and many other publications. In addition to creating a unique blend of native and non-native original indie folk music that connects deeply with their listeners, Elephant Revival combines their musical efforts with endeavors to aid many humanitarian, environmental and social justice causes, working with groups like Conscious Alliance, Calling All Crows, Trees Water & People, and others. It was a real pleasure to chat with Bonnie who spoke candidly about her concerns and hopes for the state of the world, shared childhood stories including how a family tragedy lead to a more musical life for her and her siblings, revealed a dramatic tale of Elephant Revival's recent near-death bus fire, and much more.

Wolf van Elfmand started his music career as a country-folk artist in Brooklyn. Three albums later, he's relocated to Denver and teamed up with Elephant Revival members Dango and Charlie Rose for the new "Real Wolf" EP. Wolf van Elfmand and his band visited the CPR Performance Studio to play some songs from the new record. He also spoke with Jeremy Petersen about his musical career so far, writing self-referential songs and teaming up with Colorado musicians for his latest release.

Homeowners in Colorado got something in the mail recently that may have made their eyes widen. It's what local assessors think their properties are worth. In some parts of the state, the jump in value was as much as 35 percent. What that means for your community and your property taxes. Then, there's a little known valley in Rocky Mountain National Park; it's where you'll find the headwaters of the Colorado River. The Kawuneechee Valley can tell us a lot about natural and human history. American Indians learned to live in its harsh winter climate, and later, miners established towns there. Also, how the Nederland folk act Elephant Revival keeps the peace.

Enjoy here an interview with Dango Rose, founding member and bassist for the mountain folk band, Elephant Revival. Originally hailing from Nederland, CO, the band has always embraced an environmental message, yet has also always promoted a truth and freedom in their music; something entirely unique to them. On their way up to The Aggie […] The post Dango Rose of Elephant Revival appeared first on KCSU FM.

Two members of the Colorado band Elephant Revival joined us last week for an unusual session in the CPR Performance Studio. Violinist Bridget Law and singer-percussionist Bonnie Paine played with members of the Colorado Symphony for a special performance that featured music from the band's latest album, "Petals," as well as some older material. Elephant Revival will share the stage with the Symphony Saturday night at Denver's Boettcher Concert Hall.

Songs on the Lumineers’ sophomore album, “Cleopatra,” reflect the band’s quick rise to fame and the personal experiences of its frontman. And, Nederland folk band Elephant Revival’s latest album, “Petals,” introduces a more complex sound.

Elephant Revival last joined us at OpenAir in 2014 as they were preparing for a Red Rocks Amphitheatre show opening for Devotchka. The band will perform at the famous Colorado venue again on May 22, but this time around, they will be the headliners. The Nederland-based quintet just released its latest album, "Petals," which they recorded in part at eTown Music Hall in Boulder. The band performed four songs from the new album at OpenAir and spoke with us about the exciting visual elements of their live show, the time cellist Bonnie Paine's bow "exploded" on stage and the forthcoming music videos the band filmed in Colorado.

Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s son, Juan Thompson of Denver, chronicles a difficult life with his father in the new memoir “Stories I Tell Myself: Growing Up With Hunter S. Thompson.” Then, the Nederland band Elephant Revival has a new album, “Petals,” and an upcoming headline gig at Red Rocks. And, the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art prepares to close until 2017 when it moves to a new and bigger building.

The Nederland-based folk group worked on its new album at eTown Music Hall.

THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS sound like no one else, combining virtuosic chops on five traditional bluegrass instruments, with an ethos of pushing the genre forward. When the band first emerged eight years ago, they were immediately branded fast-picking Nashville wunderkinds, a new-generation super group built to revive the high lonesome sound. Then came immediate accolades�IBMA awards, a chart-topping self-titled album and a Grammy nomination for “Best Country Instrumental�. Having just released their fifth studio album 'Let It Go' on the band�s own High Country Recordings, the band finds itself on firm footing, at ease with an evolving sound that defies categorization. ELEPHANT REVIVAL is a soulful, seductive quiver of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists that reign from points all across America. This Nederland, Colorado quintet are, needless to say, quite a sound to be experienced - especially when they fall into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy, rock, Celtic, alt-country and folk. Each Elephant possesses remarkable vocal abilities which are highlighted during every performance. 'These Changing Skies' is the band's newest release and was part of NPR's "Top 10 Folk and Americana Albums Of 2013."

Episode 818 with Rodney Crowell, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Sea The Sea, Elephant Revival, and Tattletale Saints.

I know this blog is supposed to be about ambient music but over the years I've posted some outliers - "Quintessential Jazz" "Footsteps" "Psalms and Lullabies" "Sunday Morning Music" "Vox Electronix" and some other odd balls.  It gets a little boring just mixing nothing but floating ambient so it's nice to branch out every now and then. This mix, "Always & Forever," is definitely on a different branch of the musical tree than ambient.  It's a collection of Americana style tunes that I've been listening to a lot lately. I've been a fan of the Avett Brothers since my daughter introduced me to them 7 or 8 years ago.  Listening to the banjo as used by the Avetts and Sufjan Stevens started me on a path to enjoying stripped down, acoustic, country/americana/roots/whatever-you-want-to-call-it music. Even though this mix is Americana music I think it still retains some of the Low Light Mixes feel.  Most of the tunes are simple and laid back. There are two soundtracks represented here, "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Nebraska."  I love the beautiful simplicity of the "Nebraska" soundtrack.  It always conjures up the black and white landscape images from the film. Oops, there are three soundtracks used in this mix.  I forgot about "Inside Llewyn Davis."  Another of my favorite films from last year.  The job Oscar Issac did was fabulous and so I couldn't resist using two cuts from the album. Also included in this mix are four artists that I heard for the first time in 2013, Elephant Revival, Valerie June, Johnny Flynn and Gregory Alan Isakov.  All excellent recordings. Some other artists that I just had to include are The Avett Brothers because, well, they're the Avett Brothers.  Also Blessed Feathers because they are local duo that does awesome music.  And Andrew Bird because he has become my favorite all around artist over the last 2 or 3 years. I hope you all enjoy this newest diversion from the ambient formula.  I like this mix so much that I'll probably do more. Cheers.
