We’ve got lots of great things happening on the Dive Bar Tour!
After we’re all recovered from the raging awesomeness of Bernstock, Archer will be opening for Timmy and the Vigilantes at Time Out.
And on Saturday, the 14th, Rough Age and Wild Hares will be at Kinfolks in Manitou:
And finally, n May 21, Rough Age and Wild Hares will be heading down to Bingo Burger in Pueblo, joined by James Rice of In Much of Madness.
Stay tuned for more shows, and tip your bartender!
The inaugural Dive Bar Songwriters Meetup was sparsely attended but a lot of fun. I was floored by the quality of writing and musicianship from the people that showed up.
Craig Walter – check out his band’s recordings on CD Baby.
Danny Tramel taking a break from Plain As Day to play some of his original tunes.
Stay tuned for another Songwriters Meetup next month. In the meantime, you can check out our host, Archer, playing solo at Bernie’s Place this Tuesday, or Rough Age, Wild Hares, and Sugar Water Junkies at the Brickhouse Bar & Grill on Saturday afternoon (2-6):
Thanks for all the kind words, support, and music so far. Tip your bartenders and stay in touch!
Archer is hosting a Songwriters Meetup this Wednesday at Rilea’s Pub. If it goes well we’ll make it a monthly occurrence.
There are a lot of “jams” and open mics in town, but there’s a real dearth of opportunities for songwriters to talk shop free of distraction. We highly value good songwriting. In the words of Tom Waits, “The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering.” 😉
And next Tuesday, Archer is playing solo at Bernie’s Place:
Got a band or solo act that would like to play a Dive Bar Tour? Or better yet, got a bar we can play at? Send us an email at contact@cosdivebartour.com.
Thanks for coming out, everyone! We had a great show & time in spite of the weather. Mikey’s knows how to party!
P.S. If anyone got any photos of Rough Age, send em our way.
Friday, March 25 at Mikey’s!
Here’s another first-eve gig- this time for King Party. Lyphes opens up with ambient/electronic/guitar crossover stuff, and Rough Age (featuring your host) finishes up the night.
Next show: the looping & effects wizardry of R3diculous, the acoustic folk-punk of Robbie D., and a few openers from yours truly.
Everybody had a great time at our inaugural Dive Bar Tour outing at Joe’s Bar.
Next up: March 18 at Caddyshack Lounge with R3diculous and Robbie D.!
The time has come! The Dive Bar Tour begins on Friday, March 4 at Joe’s Bar. Joining us will be Stray Suns (the chameleonic rock of Jake Oakey & friends), the first show of funk/blues/rock outfit Hipbones, and Rough Age (with yours truly).
Hope to see as many as possible of you there! Be kind, have fun, and tip your bartender.

Greetings, drinkers! My name is Archer, and I am here for cheap beer and live music.
I have committed myself to a sacred mission for 2016: to play original music in every last dive bar in town. Some of these appearances are going to be multiple-band showcases, and some are going to be solo acoustic sets. Whatever the circumstances, I’m going to be making connections in the local nightlife & music scene, posting pictures & reviews on this blog, and meeting new drinking buddies.
If you’re interested in booking a show, we can accommodate a wide range of prices & times. For starters, I’m the host of this enterprise, so you can expect at least a short intro set from one my projects, professional promotion, and a rotating cast of other talented musicians. Our focus is going to be on original music in “bar-friendly” genres, but we’re here to have fun and every show is going to be different. Email me at contact@cosdivebartour.com if you have any questions. If you’re interested in playing, be sure to include a working link to your music.
Our first dive bar tour show is going to be Friday, March 4 at Joe’s Bar– featuring Rough Age, Hipbones, and Jake Oakey (of Stray Suns). Stay tuned!
