Denver PBS TV Special: Righteous Bluegrass Band (1971)
This was shot by Producer Chris Curtis at KRMA-TV Denver, with location shoots on Loveland Pass at 12,000 feet in the snow, a symphony hall and in the TV studio. One of the first times the band had been in a studio recording and the first of many TV appearances.
About the Band:
The 1970’s and 80’s the Colorado music scene burgeoned with much young talent of all genres. One of those was a 4-piece bluegrass band in 1970 that evolved through three evolutions with players who later garnered an Emmy nomination, a number one Billboard song, orchestra compositions, University level music teaching, movie and TV soundtracks and dozens of recordings. One musician lasted through all iterations and it wasn’t the obvious singer/songwriter but rather the banjo player! Country was spawning a new sound — country rock and the banjo was able to run the table, at least in these three band kinships.
