“While the outdoors and the ethos of mountain music are an ever-present influence, Skora said The Broken Spoke takes a different path than the typical Colorado sound.”

Thanks to Hideaway Studios in Woodland Park for hosting us the last weekend in October. We'd like to share a few gems from that session: "Talk of the Town", an updated version of a first-album standby, "Old Ghost Ballad" is one we play live but never recorded, and "Black Coffee", a brand new song. Enjoy listening to all 3 at: http://thebrokenspoke.bandcamp.com/
It's official, this winter we get to spend a week at Wavelab in Tuscon, AZ, recording at one of the premier all-analog studios in the country. Some of our favorite bands have recorded there: Neko Case, Calexico, DeVotchKa, and The Thrift Store Cowboys to name a few. We couldn't be more excited!
We're currently working hard on a healthy new batch of material. It's a time for writing, reinvention, and getting pumped up to make something new. Keep an eye out for updates and demos over the next few months.

Is it Monday again already? Well, then, it’s time for Steal This Track, your weekly opportunity to snag great local music absolutely free. This week, the Colorado-made music has a certain twang to it, with broken-hearted country from the Broken Spoke and some banjo blues from Legendary River Drifters. What are you waiting for? Start stealing.

Broken Spoke, Broken Spoke
Tom Skora's quavering voice and evocative lyrics — along with co-founder Josh DeSmidt's understated approach to guitar, banjo, lap steel and harmonium — gives this 2½-year-old band a kind of high, lonesome Americana sound that deserves national recognition. "Downtrodden, brokenhearted / Never seen a play that I didn't feel a part of," sings the former cadet who made the unlikely transition from Air Force man to alt-country troubadour.
