Listen to KCUV...It's the Best Radio Station in Denver!


Over the past few months, I've been extremely fortunate to shoot some portraits of musicians who come into FM102.3 KCUV to play in the 'Music Loft'.  This is something I especially enjoy doing since it is a nice respite from all the services we provide for our main clients such as the Rockies and the NCAA.  Not that I don't enjoy handling the various tasks related to those clients/contracts, but we all need a little change every now and then to keep us fresh, don't we?
The portraits at KCUV provide that freshness every now and then because the musicians who come in to play in the Music Loft are always characters and don't give a damn about anything except the guitar in their hand...Or they're just totally pumped because the week before, they found a pair of boots in their friend's basement that they've been missing for two years.
Lost Highway Recording Artist Ryan Bingham is a perfect example of this 'it's all good' attitude that just about every musician picks up at Rock Star University.  He's a young fella with a hard nosed scratchy voice that is warm and inviting in his songs.  His lyrics reflect a childhood growing up in the middle-of-nowhere West Texas and Eastern New Mexico, a life in junior rodeos and drinkin' whiskey on the road. If you like Western guitarists with a little edge to them, you should check him out. His album Mescalito is very solid front to back and I can't stop listening to it.
Enjoy!

This explains his unique voice...and yes, those are the boots he was missing for two years...
