Bluegrass Breakdown: Colorado, Part Two

It’s more of a state of being than an actual state. It’s the 8th largest and 21st most populous state whose motto is “nil sine numine” (Nothing without Providence}.” Providence has indeed been kind, blessing the state with an incredible array of natural wonders that provided the inspiration for some memorable tunes. With the help of Coloradans Gary Cook, the Bluegrass Patriots, Trout Steak Revival, and Woodbelly, we’ll be continuing our celebration of Colorado.
