Devin Tremell Speaks Out with Hip Hop as a Tool of InfluenceDevin Tremell insisted to the crowd of hundreds looking up at him from the Lincoln Park gazebo in Greeley that he was just a regular Black dude.Dan England · Aug 3, 2020Picnic tables and blue umbrellas sit on a brick plaza beside downtown shops, with a few people dining outdoors.FeaturesReunited and it Feels So Downtown – Greeley’s United Plaza and Socially Distanced DistrictDowntown Greeley’s been quiet since March, when the outbreak shuttered bars (for the second time now), restaurants and other fun places that made downtown as successful as it’s been in decades. But business owners hope to make some noise by closing 8th and 9th streets and putting open dining tables out. They also added an open container law that essentially extends the Go Cup law full-time until fall, only with loosened restrictions: Any alcohol is OK now, even if you have some from home, though the idea is to support the businesses on the blocks. The Greeley City Council approved the plan and began it July 1.Dan England · Aug 4, 2020A singer in a wide-brimmed hat and blue scarf sings into a mic while playing guitar under blue stage lights.MusicAlbum Review: Cary Morin – Dockside SaintsFact is, on “Dockside Saints” it’s all really good stuff. Throughout, Cary Morin has an amazing ability to mix in a little of just about everything, while staying unique and true to himself. A masterful guitarist, songwriter and singer, he honors his Native American Crow background with some of the most beautiful blues ever heard and a powerful mix of rock, jazz and zydeco.Chick Cavallero · Aug 5, 2020A person in dark clothing plays an acoustic guitar while standing on a rock above a calm lake at dusk.MusicAlbum Review: Charlie Stevens – Charlie StevensCharlie Stevens by Charlie Stevens is the first official album release from Northern Colorado’s young bluegrass extraordinaire of the same name.Cole Peterson · Aug 6, 2020Four men in cowboy hats and casual button-up shirts sit along a concrete ledge outdoors, one drinking from a can.MusicAlbum Review: Estin & The 86’D – Long Live The RiverLong Live the River by Estin & The 86’D kicks off with an ode to classic southern rock filled with pure, unadulterated attitude. With lyrics referring to being baptized in rock and roll, it’s a hell of a way to be introduced to the band. Full of emotion, great songwriting and musicianship, “Long Live the River” (out August 14) is like a stiff drink at the end of a long day.Nate Wilde · Aug 7, 2020Photo for “R.W. Perkins: Small Town Remedies”FeaturesR.W. Perkins: Small Town RemediesA comedy-drama from R.W. Perkins of Loveland, “Small Town Remedies” tells the story of two siblings (Andrea Dratch and Ty Sells; Dratch is also an executive producer) dealing with their relapsing alcoholic mother (Sally Knudsen) while juggling their own personal struggles and surprises. It’s not a prototypical film about addiction, and that was Perkin’s intent, saying he had a different take on addiction as a family dynamic. The film premieres September 10 at the Horsetooth International Film Festival.Jay Wallace · Aug 8, 2020A bearded man in a blue wide-brimmed hat and patterned denim shirt stands before a weathered wall of colorful panes.MusicAlbum Review: Daniel Rodriguez – Sojourn Of A Burning SunGoing solo after the end of the renowned Elephant Revival, Daniel Rodriguez entered a new world.Laura Giagos · Aug 9, 2020105.5 The Colorado Sound logo over a collage of musicians, a patio stage, record shelves, and people in a store.105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured ArtistsThe Colorado Sound’s My5 – August 2020BandWagon Magazine · Aug 10, 2020
