Country Rock
The Machinegun Scorpions, October 14th, Chipper’s Lanes
The Machinegun Scorpions features members of Turn 4, a gritty country rock band out of Greeley. Turn 4 is known for sounding a bit like a mix between the Butthole Surfers and Captain Beefheart, so for those of you out there who enjoy grungy rock with a heavy country influence, The [...]

For one night this summer, the country and punk stars will align and those lucky enough to witness will share a love of Lucero. And cheap beer.

Sustainable Living Fair 2010 – Permaculture at its finest
This year, the theme of the Sustainable Living Fair (returning to Fort Collins September 18-19) is permaculture. If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s formally defined as “any system of sustainable agriculture that renews natural resources and enriches local ecosystems,” or more simply, “sustainable land-use design.”

The Greeley Stampede Returns with Live Music and Great Rodeo
It started in the late 1800s as a humble celebration for the Greeley community to honor its local potato farmers. And more than a century later, it has evolved into the “World’s Largest Fourth of July Rodeo and Western Celebration,” which is estimated to attract about 450,000 patrons each summer.

Clint Clymer and the Outlaw Gypsies – Still Alive
Clint Clymer and the Outlaw Gypsies’ live release Still Alive rocks from beginning to end, and for a live recording the quality is excellent. Frontman Clint has an honest country twang that manages not to wear on my nerves like most country vocals do. These boys are way more blues-rock oriented than straight up country.
