Where the wind blows, local multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Wesley Hughes will go. From following his mothers’s direction towards the piano, to falling in-step with a classmate and fellow guitar player, to a shift in band membership that opened the door for solo artistry, Hughes’ tendency to go with the flow has seemingly worked out for him and his music.

As the keyboardist for one of the biggest and most beloved names in jam music, it’s rather impressive that Kyle Hollingsworth has time between the String Cheese Incident’s touring and recording schedules and his family life to push out yet another solo album.

Colorado’s longtime “eccentric, punk-minded” rock band Gasoline Lollipops has been celebrating the recent release of their latest album with an aptly timed protest show, a label signing, a managerial partnership, and the planning of an official release party in early September. The album — Kill The Architect — is the band’s seventh, which is unsurprising considering Gasoline Lollipops has been making music for over a decade, with their current iteration going back as far as grade school.
