The best music is made collaboratively. Though new talent pops up regularly, it seems like bands that make the quickest movement to the spotlight are the Frankenstein bands–we all know them. Some are more regular than others. Certainly, every once in a while a musician happens upon another musician, and together they make something that is a graduated version of what they each made alone. When four experienced, talented and well-seasoned musicians come together in this way, you end up with a band like Ignatius Reilly.

It is truly cosmic when two stories unfold parallel to one another; pulsing and glowing like two universes swimming side by side in this vast multi-verse we call life. When they touch: Bang! A new universe is created, one in which both entities lock into a cosmic groove and never let go. This is the relationship between the band Stir Fried and the Bianchi brothers of Quixote’s and Sancho’s fame. Now, yet another music venue can be added to that list, The Donkey OT, where Stir Fried will help to kick off the Grand Opening this weekend!

They will join forces with Phish keyboardist Page McConnell for a historic and funky night of music sure to please and not to be missed!

Soul music has the wonderful property of evoking memories of musical marks made on the heart and that’s just one of the many reasons why the new EP from The Congress is quickly working its way into heavy rotation on our playlists. Recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine in an old Masonic Temple in Berthoud, CO, “The Loft Tapes” pays tribute to the band’s influences with a collection of super chilled Soul classics that have a fittingly scratchy and vintage vibe.

You may know him as the man behind the dirty Wurlitzer of the Benevento-Russo Duo or you may remember him as the left hand man of Garage A Trois, but you should know him as the riff mastermind soundscape artist Marco Benevento. While he is certainly a man about…everywhere, his trio of three years, as well as his new album, ‘Tigerface,’ is where it’s at.
