“Whether it’s tried-and-true traditional country, more modern Texas-style country with a little rock ‘n roll swagger, singer-songwriter stuff, or something in between, Laredo, TX-native Bo DePeña has you covered.” – Saving Country Music
Colorado-based songwriter/performer, Bo DePeña, has developed a reputation as a consummate working musician. Over the years, his high-energy shows have generated a loyal fan base around the mountain west, and it’s clear to see why fans of the country music tradition embrace his songs. From Texas to Colorado to South Dakota to Montana, Bo’s music can be heard at bars, breweries, rodeos, honky tonks, and beyond. Bo has shared stages with artists such as William Clark Green, Chris Knight, Dale Watson, William Michael Morgan, Ned LeDoux, and Colter Wall. His lyrical content is often universal, evoking memories of past lives, lost loves, and a longing for home. This explains why his followers are an eclectic bunch, encompassing many backgrounds, tastes, and persuasions. If you are a fan of good stories, good tunes, and good vibes, you won’t want to miss a Bo DePeña show.
After several years of touring the country, playing clubs, barns, festivals, and everything in between, Lord Nelson set out to take a batch of road tested songs into the studio, with a very simple goal in mind: make a record that sounds like a bar show. Using a converted barn to track the record, guitarist Calloway Jones and collaborator Ivan Barry engineered two sessions across a few weeks, and the bones of an album were fitted into a suit.
With two previous studio records under their belt, the band were looking for a way to create a calling card for their boisterous live act, something that would bridge the gap between studio and performance. For the first time, this record features three writers and vocalists, with brothers Henry and Calloway Jones contributing to Kai Crowe-Getty’s set of songs. Rounding out the group are Andrew Hollifield and Niko Cvetanovich on bass, Johnny Stubblefield on drums, and Dave Pinto on pedal steel and harmonica. The collection of songs marks a wide range of stories and characters, but there is a creeping lightness that settles around the edges of what could be darker themes in other hands. From car crashes, murder, bank robberies, devotion, trucks in lakes, drug busts, and relationships, to hope, triumph, and over coming the odds, this record engages a wide view of the human experience.
Seeking to move through recording quickly release the album so they could get back on the road, those plans came to a sudden halt with the pandemic, like the rest of the world. Does the world need this music now? Will it ever see the light of day? These were common thoughts over the preceding year. Finishing vocals in blanket forts, tracking guitars in an old farm house, and sending to friends to record parts enabled this process to grow and change slightly with the enforced break from touring. It allowed the band to pause and take in the songs and choices with a bit more thought. It changed the work and brought a reexamination. But ultimately, this record intends to bring people together. Dance, sing in the car, hum under your breath, crank up on the stereo, don’t take life too seriously for a few minutes. This January, Lord Nelson are finally ready to share their third full length album, Transmission. Thanks for tuning in.
The Insanes are comin’ back to the press for a night of rock radio favorites!
THE INSANES, five musicians and friends, burst on the scene in 1997 while MBA students at INSEAD in France. Originating from 4 different countries they are stylistically various and carry a storied history of musical talent and paths — from a studio musician, a visceral punk guitarist, a country crooner, an a cappella singer to a serial cover band junkie. The group found their own groove while jammin out to legendary and timeless Rock ‘n’ Roll classics and smash hits that define generations.
Genres include Classic Rock, Alternative, Grunge, Blues and even a little Country— from the groovy 60s, funky 70s, hairband 80s, alternative 90s to the experimental 21st century — with each musician bringing their own artistic depth while staying true to the sounds of the original artists they play. Their ever-expanding songbook remains internationally recognized and diverse and is guaranteed to get the audience out on the dance floor.
They are a tight knit band having reunited across the globe for over 20 years entertaining family, friends, and locals with their rocking rhythms and electric guitar riffs — they’ve even garnered a world wide cult following with their alma matter — packing every venue they’ve played and raising money for charity in the process. Who knew decades later they would still be jammin out from one continent to another all the while pursuing the corporate, entrepreneurial, NGO and VC life. These Execs were born to Rock!
