Specially marked Dale’s Pale Ale and Old Chub 12-Packs in Colorado include free sampler CD of indie music from Marquee Magazine
Oskar Blues Brewery is releasing the latest installment in its Singing 12-Pack™ series.
Starting May 18 (in Colorado only), specially marked Singing 12-packs of Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub Scottish Style Ale include a 12-song, limited-release compilation CD. The CD features new songs from ten Colorado bands (established favorites and up & coming acts) and two national bands.
The CD was done in conjunction with Marquee Magazine, a Boulder, Colorado monthly music publication. Marquee’s staff selected the songs on the CD.
“Life without great beer and music is not living,” says Oskar Blues founder Dale Katechis. “And the best beer and music is made by passionate people in small batches. With our Singing 12-Packs we help great local bands gain new fans, and we give our beer lovers fresh, full-flavored music.”
Colorado artists on the CD are Great American Taxi (featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon), neo-honkytonk heroes the Railbenders, rockabilly powerhouse 18 Wheeler, “porch music” aces Oakhurst, and trad-country flag wavers Halden Wofford & the Hi Beams.
Other local acts are hard rockers Anava, world-music rocker Beto Hale, eclectic-acoustic group Zebra Junction, groove masters Polytoxic and dance club favorites Funkiphino. The national acts are roots rockers Remedy Motel and fast-rising indie rockers Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s.
The new Singing 12-Packs will appear at select retailers along the Front Range area, including Applejack Wine & Spirits, Argonaut Liquors, Boulder Liquor Mart, Colorado Liquor Mart, Morgan’s Liquors, North Boulder Liquor Mart, Superior Liquor, Wilbur’s Total Beverage, Liquor Depot, Supermarket Liquors, Liquor Land, Twin Peaks Liquors and others.
“It’s our job to let people along the Front Range know about the best music,” says Marquee co-publisher Dan Cohen. “There are many exceptional bands here in Colorado, and teaming up with Oskar Blues for a Singing 12-Pack is a great way for us to expose people to those bands.”
The new Singing 12-Pack disc was pressed by Hapi Skratch Records in Loveland, Colorado, one of the state’s premier independent music producers.
Oskar Blues Brewery’s previous Singing 12-pack CDs have featured music from Yep Roc Records, the Supersuckers, Yonder Mountain String Band, Big Bender Records, KCUV- AM 1510 and others.
