The Last Waltz Again Artist of the Day...Matt Goldberg!!!
Matt's journey as a keyboard player began with piano lessons at the age of 5. After moving to Colorado with his family in high school, he soon found his way to Fort Collins to attend CSU. After graduating he naturally started jamming and meeting people in the growing music scene. Since then he has played in various acts ranging from blues, jam, prog rock, psychedelia. He has been grateful to be a part of DeadFloyd and Musketeer Gripweed for the past 15+ years as well as the growing Fort Collins music community, that more and more feels like one big family.

WHOA-Tickets are going fast!!! Tickets are going fast!!
Tonight's Artist of the Last Waltz Again is Sasha Stone!!

The heart of Sasha Stone Band is singer, songwriter, electric guitarist, and frontwoman Sasha Stone. Inspired by '80s chick rock as a musician coming of age, she developed an affinity for folk music in her adulthood. These two influences are apparent in Sasha Stone Band's unique identity as an electric folk band. Sasha considers herself a diamond in the rough and encourages her listeners to persevere with resilience through life's turbulence as she shares vulnerable, image-rich lyrics that detail her personal triumphs over abuse, loss, poverty, and addiction. She reminds her fans, "My writing comes from a place of despair at times but in the end, the message is always the same. Just try to hold on. You are not alone. You have got this."

5 DAYS AWAY!! Today's The Last Waltz Again Artist of the Day...Elise Wunder!!!!
Elise Wunder is a Colorado born songstress blessed with a truly rare voice that distills emotion into song. She has spent years investing, studying, and crafting her instrument. It's a cannon and a paintbrush; a voice of oak and leather with a tone that’s at once comforting, dynamic, and built on a solid stone foundation with a range that listeners don’t forget.
Her songwriting and style are rich and heavy in a way that does not suggest world weariness, so much as it does wisdom and an old soul. Elise Elise is a world traveler who is inspired by experience and culture. She has traveled to Haiti, Bahamas, Peru, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Puerto Rico, etc., and also lived in New Orleans for two years. She steeps all of these adventures into her music. Finding herself back home in Fort Collins, CO, she has an entirely new appreciation of home and her community. Elise uses her rich experiences to take listeners on a journey. Through the passionate embrace of love and the hollow ache of solitude, she makes the bitter drink sweet by speaking magic into the small moments of day-to-day living.

It's almost here....Just a few artists left to introduce as Artist of the Day!!
Michael Kirkpatrick, Rocky Mountain-based vocalist and songwriter blends elements of acoustic fingerstyle and folk rock to cradle lush songscapes in a fuzzy paradoxical blanket of sunshine and fog. Michael’s latest record “Away-O” is a sojourn of subdued frenzy for voice and guitar. Obsessed by mandolin and groomed by festival culture, Michael has carved a unique presence in the Colorado singer-songwriter, string band and rock scene. With a voice that ranges from a quiet rumble to powerful mountain-top exclamation, Michael's passionate vocals bring to life lyrics about dreams, sensuality, and reverence for nature. Currently, Michael is touring nationally as a soloist, working with neo-psychedelic new-wave americana band Violet Pilot and the popular Grateful Dead tribute: Pickin’ on the Dead. Michael’s projects on hiatus include: The Holler!, The Good Time Travelers and the underground festival: Holler!ween.

Tonight featuring legend Wendy Woo as The Last Waltz Again Artist of the Day!
Wendy Woo is a singer/songwriter in Colorado. She is also known for her guitar work, especially using her acoustic guitar as a percussion instrument in a style that she has come to call “Slap Tap”. Woo is one of a small number of Colorado performers to win the Westword Music Awards five times (after that, a five-time winner becomes ineligible and is named a member of the Westword Hall of Fame).
Woo plays both acoustic and electric guitar. She performs both as a solo and with her band. She has recorded more than 100 original songs in a variety of genres: folk, jazz, blues, funk, rock, and pop. During her career, she has been associated with three different Colorado music scenes: Boulder/Nederland, then Denver, and now Northern Colorado. Because Woo is so popular in Colorado, she has been called the ""Queen of the Denver Scene,"" the ""Denver DIY queen,"" the ""queen of the local scene” and the “self proclaimed Mayor of Loveland”. She has toured nationally, playing many of the most famous acoustic rooms around the country including “The Bitter End” in New York City, “Eddie’s Attic” in Atlanta, GA, “The Bluebird Theatre” in Nashville, TN “The Utah Room” in San Francisco, “The Rainbow” in Portland, OR and many other nationally renowned venues including “Red Rocks” in Morrison, CO and “The Fox Theatre” in Boulder. Colorado has always been her home-base. ""I know that I do get lumped into that hometown artist thing but ... well, the bottom line is that I love it here.""
Woo has always run her own music career. In 2004, she created a corporation, WooMusic, Inc., and has done her own recording, producing, booking, publicity, and publishing. She has been called a ""one-woman music industry."" And she has been a role model for other Colorado female singer/songwriters. Said one, “Well, we learned it all from Wendy Woo, didn’t we?” Through much of her career, she averaged 200 shows a year (though less now that she has three children). Live shows have been her form of music distribution; the more shows she played, the more CDs she sold directly to fans. She has released 12 albums and 2 documentaries including a 40 minute, award winning piece called “Unshaken: The Road to Woo” produced by Ferrari Films in 2019. In addition to her own work, Woo produced 10 songs on Sally Taylor's (daughter of James and Carly) first album. She was also a contributor to Taylor's 2014 Consenses project. In 2021 Woo became a voting member for the Grammies where she helps decide the winners of the Grammy’s as well as having an opportunity to submit her works for consideration.
Woo now resides in Loveland, CO where she plays locally as well as tours regionally while raising her 3 teenagers.
