Born to groove, Cold River City is the love child of funky soul and dirty blues. Fronted by Emma Fields and Brian Hubbert, the six piece live band features seductive vocal harmonies, screaming slide guitar, and a tight rhythm section guaranteed to make you get down with your bad self. The band draws their sound from a variety of genres, creating a fun and danceable style they call Psychedelic Groove Soul.

The band’s versatile sound has given them the opportunity to share the stage with a diverse list of acts that include The Revivalists, Matisyahu and Elephant Revival and have played an impressive list of Colorado venues including the Fox Theatre, Boulder Theater, Ogden Theater, Bluebird Theater, Cervantes Masterpiece and The Belly Up Aspen.

Having traveled coast to coast and played shows in twenty-five states, Cold River City is no stranger to road life. However, the band has also taken time to hit the studio and try to capture the magic that happens live.

“Thank You. Sorry. Love You.” is the most recent release from Cold River City. The EP “features five songs that offer all the dance-inducing and soul-yearning sounds that fans have come to admire. Highlights include the catchy chorus of the opening track, ‘Burn the Money,’ and the sprinting lust song ‘Could It Be’. Throughout is singer Emma Fields’ unmistakable pixie-timbred soul delivery. Fields’ voice is like a Deringer — dollish but dangerous” (Second Story Garage).

Through the coming months you can find Cold River City rocking out around the Front Range and through the mountains of Colorado as they continue to push the boundaries of rock n roll. Through the rest of 2016 the band will be returning to some of their favorite spots nationwide to keep the groove alive and get people moving.

0 Rocky Mountain Artists welcomes James and the Devil to our roster

Rocky Mountain Artists is very pleased to announce a new addition to our roster…

JAMES AND THE DEVIL
(Denver, CO)

James and The Devil perform their own brand of music, described as Rocky Mountain Fiddle Rock. They create an odd assortment of song writing, equipped with an intense, quick-tempo ed, vocal performance. The Electric Guitar and Fiddle take turns facing off, above a Rock-Solid Drum and Bass Section.

James & the Devil is a ying-yang concept representing people with enough open-mindedness to see it for what it really is- A normal man versus his personal demons. We believe it is healthy to always ask questions, and equally important to receive truthful non-skewed answers, to help guide us in the decisions we make as Earthlings. We promote Love and Unity through the stories we tell.

While merging acoustic rock, fiddle, modern pop, rap, and dance; J&theD has logged over 100,000 touring miles with a proclivity to consistently perform unforgettable genre-bending shows. Whether playing theaters or festivals, J&theD’s high energy original music is poised to redefine Rock&Roll!

James and the Devil has been growing recognition and achieving success in the Colorado music scene since 2009. They recently released a recorded set at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and a live CD/EP titled “Sample This”. In 2013 they we’re named Best “Avante-Pop” Band by the Denver Westword, and also Herman’s Hideaway’s Best of the West IV contest winners. They have proven time and again to be the victors of the Road to Summer Camp and Wakarusa Winter Classic battles, earning them performance slots at Wakarusa in 2011 & 2014; and at Summer Camp in 2012 and 2013. J&theD also won the title of Best Band in Denver by the CO Music Buzz in 2011.

J&theD has released 3 studio albums, and are about finish their 4th; dropping in the Spring of 2014, tentatively titled, “Checking For Signs Of Life”. They are already working on their next big project and intend to continue work on yet another record.

Formed in Denver, Colorado, James and The Devil perform their own brand of music, best described as rocky mountain fiddle rock. Rhythm guitarist & lyricist, Jim Campbell, brings a unique element, providing a clever assortment of song writing, rapidly delivering intense vocal performances. Leading the band on the violin, David Ross, takes a progressive approach to his fiddle-style, drawing from years of traditional experience, and sawing on the strings to whatever genre is thrown his way. J & the D, Bassist, Adam Carpenter, holds down the low-end, with an extensive background in music theory, punching in, and pushing out sound- A slapping, singing, and dancing, machine. J&theD, drummer, Matt Stoner, keeps the thunder thumping, metal crashing, and the people moving. A former producer, writer, and composer of the rock style. On lead guitar, Brian Knapp, joined the lineup to complete the 5-piece! Their songs are for every demographic, old and young. Their fans are made up of dreamers, drinkers, thinkers, smokers, and rebel-rousers.

On a backbone of rebellious rock attitude and raw traditional instrumentation, band members pride themselves on an unrelenting work ethic and a deep hunger to write, perform, and entertain.

AfroZep is a band that plays high-energy afro-beat and afro-pop versions of Led Zeppelin songs, complete with horns and percussion.  Wilson, Marshall and Ryan conceptualized the idea in the Summer of 2009. Less than 6 months later they were touring the Midwest performing in St. Louis, Iowa City, Kansas City, Madison and Rock Island.  Their first hometown performance was a few months later at the Bottom Lounge and a few months after that AfroZep was being recognized by critics from the Chicago Reader and were voted Best Led Zeppelin Cover Band.  The band hit the studio shortly after that and quickly gained the attention of Richard Milne at WXRT where they were listed as ‘Our Led Zeppelin Cover Band of Choice’.  Less than two years later AfroZep has headlined clubs such as the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Quixoes in Denver and Lincoln Hall in Chicago; performed at Universities, festivals and private parties and opened for national and international touring acts such as Cornmeal and Tinariwen.
