“Let’s Dance” does what Porter has been doing since the mid 1960s; it get’s people off their feet and in the groove. Porter shows many sides on this EP, and if it is only a fraction of what he has been working on the past year and a half, we should all look forward to what is coming.

The Church of Funkentology is a religion by definition but a social organization by design. Our mission is to promote, protect, preserve and spread The Funk. We are in our formative stages, but our long term goal is for The Church of Funkentology to be the definitive resource and temple for The Funk. Listening to Funk music, or any music for that matter, is our act of devotion. We worship in front of stages and speakers. There is no “god,” but a central spiritual power we turn to, and that is The Funk. The Funk is a spirit, an essence and a fiery force.

The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival is a one-of-a-kind music meets beer experience. Sure there are festivals all summer long in this idyllic little mountain town, but none of them blend two things so suited for each other: world class Blues music and world class beer. While it’s a must-see bucket-list trip for a lover of either of the festival’s main attractions, it’s also the kind of place that welcomes newbies with open arms, full glasses, and three solid days of music.

Soul music is born of spirit and the Nth Power creates spirited sounds straight from their souls. This “super-group” of a band is made of some of the best in the business, and every member is now prioritizing the once side-project. Not only is the band creating beautiful sounds, they are pulling on heart strings with some of the most passionate soul-music to have ever been made…and that is no exaggeration. According to co-founder Nigel Hall, this is more than a band, it’s home.

Groove Music and Arts Festival weighed heavy with Funk, with a liberal helping of Bluegrass and Jam on the side. It also included camping, at a very modest price, and several workshops. Families were strongly encouraged to come; children were free and there was a special camping area for families near the main stage area. While the placement of the bands on the schedule wasn’t perfect, the musical selection was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous and the people who came were equally beautiful. All in all, it was an amazing weekend.

It’s simple, it’s summertime and there is an overabundance of festivals here in Colorado. It is a blessing and a curse for local audiophiles: while there are always fun things to do, not all festivals are created equal, and discerning one from another can be tricky. For the old school veterans and young flower children of our Coloradical music scene, we’d like to introduce you to the Groove Music & Arts Festival. Check out our preview for what’s in store as well as an exclusive Q&A with one of the festival’s creators.
