Give much-needed blood, discover CBD in January
January is National Blood Donor Month, declared by President Richard Nixon in 1970, to pay tribute to voluntary blood donors and increase donation by others. Blood donations typically drop off during and immediately after the winter holidays, which makes Blood Donor Month a critical time for the American Red Cross. Due to increased seasonal illnesses and inclement weather conditions, donations of blood and platelets decline and demand increases. The American
Red Cross and Blood Banks of America encourage everyone who can donate to continue their donations. Those who have never donated, to make an appointment. Blood donation is safer than ever before and saves lives. Millions of people including cancer patients, organ recipients, and victims of accidents; rely on blood donations. The Red Cross needs to collect more than 13,000 donations every day to keep the blood supply ready and available to meet the needs of about 2,600
hospitals, clinics and cancer centers across the country. About 36,000 units of red blood cells and 7,000 units of platelets are needed daily in the U.S. Although an estimated 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood at any given time, less than 10 percent actually do. The Red Cross, which provides about 40 percent of blood in the U.S., hopes to change that. The organization is seeking new donors in the new year to step up to help meet the needs of patients battling cancer and other conditions or disorders, individuals undergoing surgery and victims of accidents or violent acts. Donating blood is a simple, safe process. All you have to do is register, take a mini medical history test, donate, and then accept free refreshments. A single donation from a single patient can help more than one person. Give blood. Don’t wait for a disaster. Someone needs blood now. A single car accident victim may need up to 100 pints of blood to survive. Eligible blood and platelet donors are urged to schedule a donation today by using the Red Cross Blood Donor app, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. Use #NationalBloodDonorMonth and #GiveBlood to share on social media.
CBD Month
Every January, chill down from the holidays the natural way during National CBD Month. Over the last few years, millions of Americans have learned about the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) as it has become more widely available. With an ever-growing variety of products to choose from—tinctures, capsules, topicals, edibles, bath bombs, patches, dog treats and more—consumers have a better chance than ever to find the right CBD regimen that works for them. CBD has been especially popular for fans of natural wellness products since it comes directly from the hemp plant. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD brings the plant-based power of hemp without the “high” associated with cannabis. If you haven’t tried CBD before, National CBD Month is a great time to start. Talk to your physician to discuss if and how CBD can fit into your overall wellness routine. Ask your friends about their favorite CBD products. Research suppliers to be sure you’re getting high-quality, unadulterated CBD. Use the hashtag #NationalCBDMonth throughout January to help continue spreading awareness. Page 2

County’s last flood-affected trail finally re-opens BOULDER COUNTY Anne U. White Trail, located just west of Boulder on Pinto Drive, and its expanded parking lot and trailhead are once again open for use. They re-opened to the public in December 2019 after being significantly damaged by the September 2013 flood. The Anne U. White Trail is a unique natural surface hiking trail about 1.75 miles in length that traverses up a narrow canyon by hopscotching back and forth across Fourmile Canyon Creek. www.mmacmonthly.com
The trail is located west of North Boulder near Lee Hill Road. It is designated for pedestrian use only, bikes and horses are not allowed. Dogs on leashes are allowed. Because of safety and access concerns, it was the last trail in the county’s system affected by the disaster that remained closed. The restored and expanded trailhead features a new parking lot that increases the available parking spots from five to 29, including on acces-
sible space. On-street parking is limited to three designated parking spots on Pinto Drive. A port-a-potty is located near the trailhead while a permanent restroom is scheduled to be built in 2020. A grand opening celebration is planned for sometime in the spring and will be announced as details are confirmed. For more information and directions, visit the Anne U. White webpage at boco.org/auw.

Old-School Funk, Soul Funky soul-jazz band continues touring after ‘scorching’ 20-year career
NEDERLAND he New Mastersounds have been delighting audiences with its infectious brand of funky soul-jazz since they formed in Leeds, UK, in 1999. Though they have collaborated over the years with such musical luminaries as Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Corinne Bailey Rae, Art Neville, Quantic, and Lou Donaldson, they are at their best on stage as a tightly-packed quartet— bass, drums, guitar and Hammond organ—firing scorching funk grooves off each other and feeding off the energy of the joyful dancers in the front row. Catch the band in action, Jan. 18, at The Caribou Room, 55 Indian Peaks Dr., with Downtown Abby & The Echoes as the final show of its six-night Colorado Ski Tour. Doors open at 7:30 and the show begins at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20. “Ski tour is one of our favorites every year,” the band said on its social media. “We play at intimate mountain venues and often get a chance to ski with the fans. People even fly in for a show or two to come ski.” In the late 1990s, guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts was promoting a club night in Leeds called “The Cooker.” When it moved into a new venue with a second floor in 1999, there was space and the opportunity to put a live band together to complement the DJ sets. Simon Allen and Roberts had played together as The Mastersounds, though with a different bassist and no organ. Through friends and the intimate nature of the Leeds music scene, Pete Shand and Bob Birch were added on bass and Hammond respectively, and The New Mastersounds were born. Though it was raw, and more of a boogaloo sound at first, it was powerful from the start. From the band’s inception, its members have wholeheartedly embraced the “old school” label. Their sound is rooted deeply in classic soul jazz, boogaloo. Fast-forward 19 years, and the band’s recorded catalogue boasts 24 more 7” singles, 13 studio albums, three live albums, one remix album and three compilation albums, released variously in UK, Japan and the United States—where they continue to tour extensively. Joe Tatton, another veteran of the Leeds scene, joined back in 2007, replacing Bob Birch on organ and piano. Downtown Abby & The Echoes capture the spirit of “old soul” while emphasizing its youthful energy and fresh songwriting. Taking influence from the work of the titans of soul, blues, and southern rock, the Asheville, North Carolina-based band brings its fresh take on soul to an ever-growing fan base. Visit thecaribouroom.com for more information and link to purchase advance tickets.

Musical tribute to Austin raises funds for mental health resource
Leftover Salmon released Songs You’ve Left Unsung in November as a tribute to dear friend Jeff Austin in his memory. The song, released at Backline.care, was penned by bassist Greg Garrison. All proceeds from the sale of it are donated to Backline. ACOUSTIC Backline.Care is a hub for music industry professionals and their families to quickly and easily access mental health and wellness resources. It has partnered with leading support organizations and care providers to streamline access to a wealth of services and educational resources specifically geared towards this work and lifestyle.
It is a hub to discover existing organizations, unique content, peer networks, and case managers who can help create a plan that addresses your unique mental health and wellness challenges, on and off the road. Its website was created by music industry professionals for music industry professionals. “I first met Jeff Austin when we were in 7th grade. Through the 80s and 90s, we somehow always wound up in the same places at the same times “Songs You’ve Left Unsung is a reflection on some of these times… the verses move chronologically, starting in Illinois and winding up in Colorado. The chorus is meant to be bittersweet but also hopeful for those of us that are still here writing songs, ex-
periencing music, raising families and living life with all of its turbulent ups and downs.” Garrison released the song with Backline because, “I think their mission is exceptionally important; providing mental health and wellness support to people in the music industry while also providing an opportunity for those of us who deal with issues like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse to share our stories.” He hopes those stories will provide “comfort, clarity, support, inspiration and a helping hand to anyone who is in need.” To donate and download the song, visit backline. care/songs-left-unsung.

NOTEWORTHY The Drunken Hearts - Wheels of the City • February 14: Valentine’s Day at The Caribou Room • 9 p.m.
T
he Drunken Hearts new album, Wheels of the City, released in October 2019 on LoHi Records, delivers tales of adventure, love, risk, and realization. The band wanted to try something new for this album: to create and record a new song each day, and continue that model until an entire album was realized. The result is eleven full-fledged, living, breathing, musical time capsules that make up Wheels of the City. The album was produced by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth, recorded at Silo Sound Studios in Denver, and mastered by Jim Wilson. “I loved working on this record with The Drunken Hearts,” Carbone said. “Andrew sent me the acoustic demos of the songs and I sketched out the arrangements and instrumentation. The band essentially learned the songs and added their ideas the day we tracked them… We did a song a day and except for some vocal overdubs, solo replacements and the strings and horns, that was how it all went down. I’d never worked that way before. It was an amazing stretch of hyper-creativity. I’m very proud of Wheels of the City!” Mixing the band’s “mountain-spirit” with the “twang of the south,” the five-man band features acoustic guitarist and powerhouse lead singer, Andrew McConathy. He is originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, and is known for his compelling songwriting and “distinct and expressive” vocals. Joining him are pedal steel, Dobro, and lap steel player Cody Russell; electric guitarist and vocalist Kory Montgomery; bassist Jon McCartan; and drummer Alex Johnson. Special guests include Carbone on piano, organ, violin, backing vocals and percussion and Sheryl Renee on vocals. The album features a horn section— Sam Hoyt on trumpet, Sam Burris on trombone, John Devivo on french horn, Jay Rattman on alto sax, flute and clarinet—on the title track and “Passchendaele” brings in a string section along with Renee’s accompanying vocals to create a unique texture. The strings include Stephanie Bell and Chris Souza on violin, Marsha Cahn on viola and David Moulton on cello. Jay Rattman arranged the music for both the strings and horns. The album, also available on vinyl, can be found streaming online everywhere, including iTunes, Soundcloud and Spotify.

Nature’s Art Work
Photographer captures ‘moments in nature’ GILPIN COUNTY he inspiring images of award-winning Denver photographer Roger Doak are featured in the “CAPTURED – Moments in Nature” Exhibit in the meeting room at the Gilpin County Library. Jan. 20-March 13. It is free and open to the public during normal library hours. The photographer was born in upstate New York and moved to Colorado as a young boy. Living in the scenic beauty of the Gunnison area he developed a profound appreciation of nature. His enjoyment of nature proved to be the impetus of his passion for photography. In 2005, he received two first place finishes in a photo competition judged by esteemed photographer, John Fielder. This recognition, and with encouragement from friends and family, inspired Roger to start his business: Roger Doak Photography. Since then, his photography has been acknowledged with a number of awards. Roger’s clients include hospitals, galleries, corporations and government. Doak’s photography celebrates nature’s art work: majestic landscapes, micro elements, and stately wildlife. He believes an excellent photo needs to be technically accurate; lighting, color, form, and composition. In addition to technical precision, he also understands an exceptional photo captures a unique moment that engages the viewer’s eye and provides an emotional attachment. Achieving his objectives allowed Doak to create the inspiring images seen in his library show. Ultimately, his goal is to show and share nature’s majestic and peaceful moments in his photography. The library is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Call 303-582-5777 or visit gilpinlibrary.org and rogerdoak.com to learn more.

Going Nordic! Nordic centers, local backcountry offer range of experiences for all abilities PEAK TO PEAK REGION n Colorado, a pair of cross-country or telemark skis can transport just about anyone from their everyday life into a peaceful forest environment of snow-laden trees, white meadows and trails along frozen creeks. A hidden world of winter beauty and sensational settings, without the crowds, can be unveiled throughout the Peak to Peak Region and nearby Clear Creek, Grand and Summit counties, by visiting the region’s Nordic centers and easily-accessible backcountry trails. There are also ranches, clubs and nonprofit organizations that maintain networks of cross-country trails throughout the area. For residents and visitors to the region there are no shortage of places to get out and put a pair of free-heeled skis, and their bodies, to work. Winter is a spectacular time to visit the area’s forests, wilderness areas, state park and Rocky Mountain National Park.
