The First Annual Great Conifer Battle of the Bands Local Talent to CompeteThe Conifer Chamber of Commerce is, once again, hosting the Conifer Mountain Music Festival which will be held on August 1, 2009 on the grounds of Conifer Community Park at Beaver Ranch. This year, fourteen bands on two stages will pay homage to, what was for many, a life-changing event that took place forty years ago on a farmer’s field in Woodstock, NY, which has come to be known simply as “Woodstock.” While many of us scratch our respective scalps and wonder where 40 years went, others of us have spent the better part of the last year re-creating the excitement and the wonder of Woodstock. There is, however, a large segment of the population that doesn’t remember Woodstock either clearly, as some of us, or through a purple haze, as do others. They are younger. They have a different concept of popular music and the Conifer Mountain Music Festival (CMMF) has heard the clamor for music that caters to a younger palate.To satisfy that hunger, the management and staff of CMMF decided to host the First Annual Conifer Mountain Music Festival Battle of the Bands. Twelve bands will compete in two preliminary playoff rounds which will take place at noon on July 11 and July 18 at McSwaine’s 285 Road House. The bands, comprised of local talent, scheduled to appear in the playoffs are: Take The Track, Rising Impact, Hooligans, Blatant Camouflage, Resistance is Calling, Tilt, MTFR, The Bluegrass Quartet, Jonny Duran Band, Steven Mack and XXX, Almost Legends, Trouble Clefs, and Fermin. Seven of the aforementioned twelve bands will compete on July 11th and five will compete on the 18th. On each of the two days four bands will be selected by a secret panel of musically accomplished judges to go on to the finals on the day of the Festival. The winner of the Festival competition will be chosen by popular vote as registered on an applause meter. That ultimate winner will appear on the Guitar Center Stage on Denver Channel 2’s show “Daybreak On The Deuce” later this summer.We have it on good authority that those “musically accomplished judges” will be heavily influenced by audience reaction so, if you have a favorite band, or want to come out to discover your new favorite band, come to McSwaine’s 285 Road House at noon on the 11th or noon on the 18th and cheer the bands on to victory. Bands playing on Saturday, July 11 starting at noon are: Almost Legends, Bluegrass Quartet, Steven Mack and XXX, Trouble Clefs, Fermin, Tilt, and Resistance is Calling. Bands playing on Saturday, July 18th are Rising Impact, MTFR, Jonny Duran Band, Blatant Camouflage and
Hooligans.
