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.

Estimated read time 6 min read

All of this made for a fantastic yet somewhat eerie mood within the crowd. Put it together with the enchanting Electronic World Dance music of Thievery Corporation at the world famous venue Red Rocks and what do you get? “It’s going to be spiritual,” I heard one guy say. His prediction was spot-on.

It’s almost as if they have harnessed the combined energy of Stax, Motown, and Muscle Shoals and are channeling it all through one eleven member band. Get on board, or get out of the way, ’cause this train is bound for glory!

Estimated read time 4 min read

After playing a long game of “hurry up and wait” with the audience, Bootsy Collins brought the funk to the Boulder Theater last night. Thought it would have played out a little better on a Friday or Saturday night, they doled out the hits and Bootsy lived up to his outrageous reputation as he threw a P-Funk Party like only he ever could.
