Hey All, sitting in at America’s Best music program for acoustic music in Arvada’s old town doing a bunch of new songs from the new CD, ya’ll come!
"Breathes there a man or woman with a soul so dead as to never have craved a fix of good, old-fashioned, honest-to-God live horns ... one of the few acts with enough brass in its gorgonzolas to hit the road as a full-fledged horn band." BILLBOARD
MAGIC MUSIC Colorado’s 1st jam band at Swallow Hill
Colorado’s first “Jam Band” Reunite for one show at Swallow Hill on Nov 18 – Legendary Boulder Acoustic Jam Band MAGIC MUSIC to play One-Time Reunion Concert at Swallow Hill Music Association.
Boulder’s eclectic-acoustic, legendary jam band, Magic Music, will take the stage for a special one-night reunion show with six of its original members for the first time since 1976 at Swallow Hill‘s Daniels Hall in Denver on FRIDAY, November 18th at 8 PM. Known for defining the sound of jam band music in Colorado Magic Music inspired the ever-increasing trend of Rocky Mountain-based jam bands.
Formed in 1970, the band’s celebrated highlights including performances at Tulagi on Hill, Ebbets Field, the 2nd and 3rd Telluride Bluegrass Festival, The Denver Folklore Center, touring with Navarro (Carol King’s backup band), and playing shows with David Bromberg, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Cat Stevens, The Youngbloods, Michael Murphy, Doc Watson, and more. Magic Music played their last gig in 1976 at The Blue River in Breckenridge with Navarro. “We were basically put out of business by disco and it’s too bad, because this was truly fun music for listening and laughing – and a trip back to the Woodstock days,” said singer, guitarist and banjoist for Magic Music, Chris Daniels of Chris Daniels and the Kings.
The original Magic Music members reuniting for this show will be Chris “Spoons” Daniels (from Chris Daniels and the Kings and Spoons), George “Tode” Cahill, Will “Wilbur” Luckey (from Alex Taylor’s Band), Bill “Das” Makepeace, Rob “Puna” Galloway (from Navarro and Leftover Salmon), Tim “T.G” Goodman (from The Too High Band, CBS® solo artist, and the band Southern Pacific on Warner Brothers™ Records). Other members of the band included the late Lynn “Flatbush” Poyer who was the band’s founder in 1970.
This is a reunion of one of the most important and influential collaborators of the acoustic music movement of the early 1970s, also associated with James Taylor, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Old & In The Way, and Pentangle.
“Playing this music with old friends flashes on all our youth. It’s like a well-worn path, so familiar but magically sometimes appears brand new – what fun!” said Will Luckey.
