Katie Glassman and Snapshot - Denver, Colorado
http://katieglassman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/western-450.jpg
Summertime and Thursday evenings in Fort Collins feature free concerts in Old Town Square from 7pm to 9pm. On June 20 I walked by there about 7:30pm. As I was approaching Old Town Square I heard a lovely female voice singing. Then I heard a sweet swingin’ fiddle playing some western swing.
The problem was that Emmylou was scheduled for an 8pm set at TBF, and I was looking forward to streaming some of it on KOTO. I watched and listened to maybe five or six songs by Katie and Snapshot. Then I walked home to catch Emmylou.
What I did see performed by Katie and her band was OUTSTANDING!!! Katie and here band were very professional, excellent western swing playing (and more), great sound by the band, and I totally recommend them! They were very good and very entertaining.
“A mix of highly danceable western swing with a splash of jump blues and more than a sultry moment or two fueled by Glassman’s breathy vocals and steamy solos.” – STRINGS MAGAZINE
SNAPSHOT band is:
Eric Moon on piano, oldtime/western accordion and vocal harmonies; Greg Schochet on swing guitar with his rich, vintage tone; and Charlie Mertens slaps away on the bass and sings vocal harmonies; Katie Glassman plays fiddle and sings.
"Denver native Katie Glassman has moved back home to Denver. She has a sparkling voice, a fast and soulful fiddling style and original songs that freshly interpret genres from vintage jazz to Western swing and bluegrass — all of which converge on her recent release SNAPSHOT, a perfect sonic representation (or snapshot, if you will) of her current work.
Glassman studied jazz and classical violin at the University of Colorado under jazz pianist Chip Stephens and violinist Jennifer John. She played in the top CU jazz combo, was awarded the Outstanding Performer Award at the Abilene Jazz Festival and was first runner-up for the IAJE International Sisters of Jazz Group. In 2004, she graduated with a degree in music performance and the first certificate in jazz studies awarded to a violinist."

And I’d give anything to see a Jack White/ Loretta Lynn solo/collaboration on that grand stage. I know, “dream on”.
Knew I liked you Ross!!! YESSSSS!!! Hot Tuna would be very rockin :medal
How about Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen?
Also, I vote for Ray LaMontagne too. Good stuff.
Frank is smokin hot, some intense pickin and would LOVE to hear him play and play with Sammy and the rest of the House Band. Smokin Hot! :medal
Frank would be perfect with the House Band . Like Landshark said : Frank is SMOKIN!!
And, you have to love a little Mike Munford on banjo (who plays with Frank).
Loved the Kruger Brothers at this year’s Rocky Grass. Judging from the crowd buzz following their set, others did, too. Their blend of bluegrass and classical, to me, puts them in league with Goat Rodeo. IMO they’d make a great addition to the Telluride lineup.
I second the Gourds suggestion and add one for Brothers Comatose. :fish
Pert Near Sandstone
Son Volt
Gipsy Moon
Iron & Wine
Ray would be amazing, if you can get him. He doesn’t seem to do much touring or gigging. I do think he would be a perfect fit for Telluride, though.
