A note from Cass Clayton:
With a voice loaded with smoky soulfulness, it’s easy to see why Cass Clayton Band is landing on some of the best stages and festivals across the country. CCB has become known for its tight chemistry and high-energy stage presence. Clayton is a songwriter’s songwriter, lyrically and musically, and she takes care to speak her heart and mind and share her journey with the listener. Her new album, PLAY NICE, pulls together disparate influences but ties it all up in a framework that would seem as at home in Muscle Shoals or on Beale Street as it would on Michigan Avenue or Sunset Boulevard – and that’s no accident. Known for their non-denominational approach to music and genre, CCB blends rock, R&B, funk, blues and soul into their own contemporary sound.
The band’s 2018 album won ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2018 in the Colorado Blues Society Members’ Choice Awards. In addition, Cass has been voted as one of the top 3 slide guitar players in Colorado and top 2 vocalists (CO Blues Society Members’ Choice Awards). Her new album, PLAY NICE, has already won 2 songwriting awards since its July, 2019 release and was up for Grammy consideration. PLAY NICE was #1 on the National R&B Album Chart in December and also #1 Roots Music Album in Colorado.

A note from The Barrelors:
We’re The Barrelors. We distill a mountain of blues, rock, twang, and funk into our own cask-strength sound, and you’ll never get the same batch twice. The three of us have been performing and writing together since January of 2017. We’ve got Ben Lacy on lead vocals and guitar, Nathan Bryant thumpin’ bass and harmonizing, and Ryan Milliron holding down drums, aux percussion, and backup vocals. We’re in the process of finishing up enough material for an LP and booking a badass 2020 in and around Denver. Content available on all streaming platforms, pick your poison.

Join us for Season 2: Episode 5 of DownBeat Denver as singer songwriter Cara Elizabeth delivers 3 powerful performances of her original songs Daydreaming, Starseed, and Bricks N’ Bottles. Backed by Bassist Keith Summers, Cara let’s us in on her “non-neurotypical” mind, and reveals her brilliance through songs about love, aliens, and a maddening apocalypse.

A Note from Cara:
My name is Cara Elizabeth, and I am a singer-songwriter from the front range of Colorado. I got inspired by the mountain music scene in Durango, Colorado to pursue music as a profession. Some people describe my music as an acoustic soul. It is hard to limit myself to one genre. I would say I am a mix of folk, indie, blues and Americana.

S2:E3 – Roma Ransom
Join us for Episode 3 of DownBeat Denver, as Roma Ransom takes us on a musical journey. Inspired by the likes of Django Reinhardt, Roma Ransom is bringing a totally fresh and unique take on traditional “Jazz Manouche” or “Gyspy Jazz”. Grace and Gordon share a wonderful history and musical chemistry together. They speak a common language as they communicate through their eyes, body, and instruments. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Roma Ransom live on DownBeat Denver!
A word from the band… Roma Ransom began as a musical group after Grace and Gordon began busking on the streets of Springfield, Missouri and shortly after we began dating. Our first gig was at Gem of India where we defined our sound. After a brief stint of gigs we took our act on the road. We relocated to Colorado Springs in 2011 for more musical opportunities and have traveled throughout the US on tour in the past few years. We love music from every culture and we attempt to emulate the sounds of different genres. We play every genre you can imagine, including Country, Pop, R&B, Reggae, Klezmer, Balkan, Classical, Avant Garde, Contemporary, Jazz, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Nepalese/Tibetan, Middle Eastern, Gypsy, Funk, Soul. Our music is best described as eclectic bohemian world psych folk.
