These guys are interesting because they incorporate many different genres yet still make good music. They call themselves newgrass, and I think it fits them perfectly. They are definitely on the rise, being one of the bigger brands to come out of Colorado. Check out their Facebook, and here they are on Spotify.
Hailing from Colorado Springs, we see a man praise the excellent state that is Colorado. Splyt has played shows all over our state and seems to only be gaining ground. He has many other great songs that you can find on Soundcloud. One song in particular is filmed and stuff by a high school friend (gasp); check out Settle Down below and stay posted on his live shows. Like the colors of the rainbow, roygbiv embodies many different musical elements. Here we get some downtempo groove time fun. He is also a talented guitar player and has made several appearances at my house to jam; the man got skill. As a matter of fact, he even has his own Soundcloud page.
This "funky-ass dance music" (as stated on their Facebook) producing band brings some fresh sounds to the Colorado music scene, nay I say the world. They are no dwarf horse, in fact they have become quite large over the years. They are fun to watch and put on a great show, as you can see above. Check out their Spotify page, because they have one!
This jam band-esque band from our town of Fort Collins has been growing steadily in the Colorado music scene. Jason Downing (the man with the bad-ass beard) is not only the man playing the most instruments in the band, but also a professor at Colorado State University. Check out the multi-talented Downing, and his cohorts perform and take note for any updates of their live schedule.
This particular remix had me falling in love with these guys. The way they use a saxophone has solidified them as my favorite electronic artist. Gee darn-it they are even from Boulder, how can they not be my favorite electronic artist. F'real though these guys can supply the stellar electronic music you have been searching for. Check em out they have a number of genuinely awesome music!
Lord Byron is not technically from Colorado, but now he has based himself here. He is quite the lyricist and has great observational skills. He delivers his stories of life growing up in Dallas in a way that make you feel there. Check him out, he is worth listening to the whole song. He has more material on his Bandcamp page.
These guys are not from the state of Colorado, however they were just in Colorado (like a month ago). I saw them in Denver and it was an amazing show. They had the craziest, best wardrobes I have ever seen. They are truly a unique band. They could even find themselves in the Dopestep page, but I found them a little bit more indie rock. Check 'em out, they dope!
Once again, we find ourselves staring at yet another non-local band. This guy is good, if you like electronic/soul/funk then I would give it a listen. One multi-instrumentalist makes this entire track, and he has albums (check the plural). This is impressive to myself, and to those who have similar thoughts check out his page on Spotify.
Always a Colorado favorite, Pretty Lights killed it at Red Rocks earlier this year and will be back for more on New Years. I saw him debut his live band and it was epic. If you don't already have his latest album "A Color Map of the Sun" make sure to get that and also tickets to Decadence if it's not too late.
