One year after his last Swallow Hill performance, Tony Furtado returned to this great venue in support of his 2011 album, Golden, available now from Funzalo Records or iTunes.  As usual, Tony appeared with an all-star lineup, including long-time collaborator Eric Thorin (of many front range bands), Tyler Grant (Drew Emmitt Band), and Jim Christie (who you may have seen with Dwight Yoakam or Lucinda Williams).

Kelli Schaefer’s debut album Ghost of the Beast arrived in the mail yesterday.  While giving the record a first listen, I’m posting her Denver set from November.

The limited-edition vinyl release can be purchased directly from Amigo/Amiga, but I’m sure you can pick it up in-person at Moe’s Original BBQ this Friday, where Kelli will be opening for The Head & the Heart.
