I'm impressed - Tom Hagerman www.myspace.com/tomhagerman of Devotchka devotchka.net is playing at the KRCC Backyard Bash fundraiser this afternoon. That's pretty high-class help, considering Devotchka plays Red Rocks www.redrocksonline.com on June 20. Hagerman plays accordian and violin. He was previously with a band that had the great name, The Denver Gentlemen. Hagerman's first solo album is named after the children's space at a Denver mall: The Breakfast Playground. It inlcudes, not only violin, but children's voices and toy instruments.
Coming up? Have you seen this news? Peter Frampton www.frampton.com will hit the Pikes Peak Center www.pikespeakcenter.com July 27. The center is advertising that you can by tickets now if you click on the hot link at its home page and enter the password: frampton, but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I love the name of Frampton's teen-band: the Herd. He went on from that bunch to Humble Pie, then a solo career. Big hits? "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do?" and "Show Me the Way." The man likes songs with "way" in the title.
And fabulous news for fair-goers and Hootie fans: Darious Rucker www.dariousrucker.com hits Red Rocks www.redrocksonline.com September 4, then heads to the Colorado State Fair www.coloradostatefair.com in Pueblo, September 5.
Rucker made the cross-over from rock to country pretty effortlessly. His first country album hit number one and you're probably familiar with two of his singles:
"Don't think I don't think about it" and "It won't be like this for long," a particularly nice song. Rucker doesn't seem to be short on ego, but he's also very long on voice. I this his is one of the best around. (He's probably saying that about another of his qualities, but then we're back to the ego thing.) Rumor has it, the Blowfish are still searching for him.
Got things to add to this? I'd love to hear them. Just click on the place below where it says comments. Thanks!
