COMBO Knows How to Throw a Par-Tay!!! What a FUN night at COMBO’s Songwriters Showcase at Dub’s Pub on South Broadway in Littleton last Saturday night. Many thanks are due especially to Steve Son who helped us to secure the venue, Christopher Ryan who provided the PA, to Dr. Annette Cannon who took a “tip” jar around and to those who donated to it which will help COMBO to get through the year with expenses.
We also like to thank the songwriters who brought lots of friends and family and performed: Tony “T-Loop” Molina, Jess Wayne (who drove all the way up from Taos, NM), Joe & Dan Alchemy, Toni Negus, Mark Henry Ham, JJ Fraser (and his back-up singers), Mad Dog Friedman (on his way to the International Blues Finals in Memphis in January), Angela Perry (who ran sound while Chris played), Arun Guragain, Lisa Selle, Mike Abbass (two songs in the top 12, and who help Chris load out), Steve Morrow (and his wife Nancy who helped Chris load in), Jamie Krutz (just all around helped), and Christopher “Shadow Animal” Ryan. We also want to thank Johnnie Johnson and his not-for-profit Innervision Records and Innervision FM Radio who co-sponsored the show, and to Rod Tanaka who figured out how to turn the stage lights on! What’s really interesting, too, is the DEI in the group – without us planning it that way! Everyone sounded different, the songs covered all genres, we had people from all over the planet (I’m not kidding), and the show was very entertaining!

COMBO Member, Winning Songwriter Christopher Ryan Drops New Video
I just released a new music video for my song Swing For The Fences. The video was created with Denver animator Jessie Rodriguez and is a hand made stop motion animation created with paper cut outs. It will also be screened at the Denver Underground Film Festival later this year. I love the results!
