Safe Boating is No Accident, having only been around since mid-2008, are relative newcomers to the Denver scene.  Their songs often blend classic country with E6 pop sensibilities, resulting in material that feels very familiar to the listener without coming across as antiquated.

Colorado’s female supergroup Harpoontang took to the Lion’s Lair stage last night with a truly entertaining performance.  Instead of attempting any review, I think it best that you listen for yourselves…
