Boulder Roots Music Fest Set to Transform Pearl Street into a Musical Extravaganza
Oct 15th
October 15,2025 BOULDER—The city of Boulder is buzzing with anticipation as the inaugural Roots Music Fest prepares to take over Pearl Street Mall and surrounding venues this weekend, October 17–19. The three-day festival, a new endeavor by the local non-profit Roots Music Project, promises an immersive celebration of Colorado’s vibrant music scene.
Festival organizers have curated a massive lineup of over 800 artists spanning 15 stages, transforming downtown Boulder into a walkable concert experience. “Our goal is to make this the ‘Bolder Boulder’ of music festivals, creating a decades-long tradition for our community,” said a festival representative. The event will feature a large outdoor stage at 16th and Pearl, along with intimate performances at partner locations, including restaurants, cafes, and retail shops.
Headliners for the inaugural festival include acclaimed bands Yonder Mountain String Band, North Mississippi Allstars, and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. In addition to these seasoned veterans, the lineup showcases the diverse sounds of local favorites like Banshee Tree, Dechen Hawk & The Lit Squad, and Juniper Blue. Genres will range from folk and bluegrass to blues, indie rock, and electronic music, ensuring a performance for every taste.
The festival also provides a crucial economic boost for the city, bringing tourism dollars to local businesses. Festival admission grants attendees access to all venues on a first-come, first-served basis, but special separate tickets are required for exclusive late-night shows. With a full weekend of music, collaboration, and celebration, the Roots Music Fest is poised to make a significant and lasting mark on Boulder’s cultural landscape.

Barbara Jo Kammer’s One song at a Time
Dec 16th
This was a good try for a first album. The song selection was solid
country and bluegrass. Packaging on the new cd was impressive. It was self produced, and funded by crowd . the cd is for sale on Amazon, apple and Spotify. It is not available at Bart’s Records in Boulder or Albums on the Hill. It should be. Her crowd is older and still buys cds.

Produced by KC Groves and Aaron Youngberg. Recorded at Swingfingers Recording studios, mastered at Airshow Mastering. The mixing is not very good. Mic levels are off. Kammers strong voice sounds weak. The cover photo of Kammer by Flat Nine Design is blurring and back lit. Airshow is the only company on this album known in the music world. They could have fixed this recording.
We wonder why Kammer did not use her band Hippie Buckaroos because her use of session musicians made her sound lost in the background. She is much better than that.
A few of the songs do stand out where the engineers brought her voice up. The use of fiddle also helped on some songs.
The quality of Kammer’s voice mic made her sound tinny. Good mics cost ten to 20 thousand and KC Groves recording studio is just not at that level.
Maybe next album Barbara Jo Kammer will go to a real recording studio with good equipment and real sound engineers. Boulder has some like Coupe Studios or E-town. She should have used her band and supplemented with session musicians. That hurt this album.
Having said all of that… for a Lafayette country singer , this was an outstanding garage recording. However, Barbara Jo and the Hippie Buckaroos are better seen live.
