/O Volume 2 expanded our initial vision by bringin

/O Volume 2 expanded our initial vision by bringing songwriters out of established bands and featuring them with a new collaboration. Julie Davis joined us from the band Bluebook.⠀
.⠀
When we first conjured the idea of the Sessions, we wanted amazing songwriters to join us in an authentic way. Enter: iPhone demos. Julie’s might be one of the most epic, because it featured her son (who, quite frankly, might’ve stolen the show) in the background playing with his red fire truck. ⠀
.⠀
Firetruck or no, Julie shared with us that the creative energy in parenting and raising a child is a big part of what she channels into her music -- which all started with poetry. ⠀
.⠀
Julie is a part of Bluebook, a three piece indie band that we hugely adore and that feels more like performance art and otherworldly imagination during their sets than anything else. ⠀
.⠀
We were thrilled to welcome Julie to explore some of her songs during the Sessions. ‘Remember Me’, featured here, was based on the story of the Snow Queen, and never ceases to conjure mystic and magic. Photos: Kate Petrik: @_darth_kater

Caribou Ranch is famous for the superstars who recorded there and several Colorado bands that managed to find themselves in the thin air around Nederland in the 70s and 80s. Starwood, formed in Aspen in the early 70s, recorded their self-titled second album there in 1977. The Freddi-Henchi Band recorded there in the early 80s. Both are featured in this week's episode of the Colorado Playlist, which you can listen to again using the archived audio function on ColoradoSound.org!

Hunter Burnette wins the awarded distinction of: '

Hunter Burnette wins the awarded distinction of: 'only songwriter to finish one of his songs the morning of the /O Session event'. That song, in particular, was different than our feature today of "If I Told Her," but the fact that he was in the moment, writing and creating the morning of, speaks to his passion for the craft and his ability to tell a story in a real, authentic way.
.
But when it came to writing this feature, true to this passion and style, Hunter shared that "writing If I Told Her was one of those songs where you sit down with the guitar and the guitar does all the heavy lifting. When I started to write it, I didn’t really have a topic in mind, I just let my subconscious speak with the music and it wrote itself. Sometimes I still go back and forth between what it actually means for me personally. Maybe at the time, I felt that a love lost could have been saved by the simple act of telling that person how I felt. But the song embodies the 'what if...' the experience of having lost it, and the scenarios that start to follow. And how they can become overwhelming."
.
We're proud to share Hunter's songwriting and artistry as a part of the /O Sessions release -- as an artist, and as friends. And watch his performance of "If I Told Her" in the bio! Photo: Kate Petrik

Today’s /O Sessions featured songwriter is Holly

Today’s /O Sessions featured songwriter is Holly Lovell. We are moved by how she crafts songs that capture aching intimacy and vulnerability with such perceptive storytelling. Holly describes the song “I Love You” as “a song about addiction and what it does to those lives it bleeds out all over. It’s about my life, and how someone’s addiction bled out all over me." ⠀

Erika Ryann took part in the /O Sessions in a most appropriate way, rolling up to the studio in her long 1970’s Ford truck and then taking a nap in the cab. Working as a busy gigging musician and as a ranch manager, resting in the truck was how she balanced a schedule between the Denver gigs and the mountain ranch. Erika has a young heart and a wise soul, and we’ve been grateful for every day we’ve known her since. If you haven’t had the chance, listen to her song, you’ll hear it in her haunting guitar and commanding voice. Enjoy these photos from her session with /0 in Arvada, and find her performance of "Bluest Brown Eyes" using the link in the bio.⠀
