Estimated read time 8 min read

As families we all have our traditions and, whether it’s opening presents on Christmas Eve, driving to the cabin every summer, or making pancakes on Sunday morning, these traditions are what define our lives and give us those memories that last a lifetime. For our family, one of those traditions is our annual August pilgrimage to Lyons for the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. Though it’s been twelve years some thing remain the same; the beer is cold, the music is amazing, and the river water cools the blood in minutes.

Freddi Gowdy and Chris Daniels: The Birth Of Cool In Colorado

Estimated read time 12 min read

When a fresh, exciting band called Freddi Henchi and the Soulsetters — fronted by Freddy “Freddi” Gowdy and Marvin “Henchi” Graves — came to Colorado in the early 1970s, a young musician named Chris Daniels was blown away by the sounds they brought with them. Now, more than 40 years later, Daniels has teamed up with Gowdy to release a new album that presents R&B and Funk in the way that it was intended to be heard. Celebrate the release of “Funky To The Bone” with them this Saturday at Herman’s Hideaway.
