It's continually placed atop local awards things and continues to develop its deep folk sound with depth. "These Old Bones" is a thinker; grab the whiskey ..."-Rooster Magazine BIOOne Flew West delivers a live show that hits you in the face with the force equivalent to a kick from John Claude Van Damme. Blending the sounds of rock and roll with folk and pop, the band is a force to be reckoned with. OFW was a Top 3 Finalist in Channel 93.3's Hometown for the Holidays in 2014, with their single entitled "Kind of Love". In the spring of 2015, they performed at Channel 93.3's Keggs & Eggs 10 Year Anniversary with The Dirty Heads. The band won a Westword Music Award under the Folk category in 2015. 2016 has seen a multitude of successes including selling out the Marquis Theater and Hodi's Half Note as a headliner, a Westword Music Award nomination for Best Pop Band, and a spot on Channel 93.3's Big Gig at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre. One Flew West has performed with many notable acts, including: The Wombats, Highly Suspect, The Dirty Heads, 3OH!3, The Devil Makes Three, Brick+Mortar, Joywave, The Unlikely Candidates, Saints of Valory, Barcelona, The Spill Canvas, and many more.

In addition, One Flew West has performed at and headlined Colorado's most popular concert venues including the Fox Theatre, The Aggie Theatre, Hodi's Half Note (Sold Out headliner),The Marquis Theater (Sold Out headliner), The Summit Music Hall, The Larimer Lounge (Sold Out headliner), The Belly Up Aspen, and the Gothic Theatre.In July of 2015, OFW recorded a new EP entitled "Selective Memory" with producer Andy Rok Guerrero (Flobots, Bop Skizzum, Andy Rok and the Real Deal) and engineer Jeff Kanan (No Doubt, Madonna, Kelly Clarkson) which was released on October 30th.When Virgil Dickerson went to college in Boulder in the mid-’90s, the town was abuzz with original music and a vibrant community of musicians. “But what’s going on in Boulder now? Nothing,” said Dickerson, now the founder of Denver-based music companies Suburban Home Records and Vinyl Collective. “Most of the interesting Colorado music not coming out of Denver is coming from Fort Collins, not Boulder.” Ah, the Great North of Fort Collins — what with its wide, tree-lined streets, its cozy Old Town and its sleepy Colorado State University campus.

Its days as an Army outpost long past, modern Fort Collins is your average charming college town. Brewpubs have long been the rage, but it’s also educated, sprawling, relaxed, outdoorsy and — recently — increasingly musical. Thanks to a solid number of small venues, a ready audience of college students and an evolving sense of confidence, local bands are making a mark far and wide. “From the music I’ve been hearing and the people I’ve been working with, the stuff Fort Collins is doing as a community is really cool and encouraging,” said Jonathan Bitz, who books Denver club the Meadowlark. “It makes me want to be up there for the first Fridays where they have several hundred people come out, and they just party and listen to music and see art. “It’s a support system that feels new and young and fresh up there.” Fort Collins has a solid musical heritage that includes All, the Descendents, Blasting Room Studio, Drag the River, Monofog, Matson Jones and more.

But now the steady stream of diverse music leaping from the small city is starting to turn heads. “I love telling people that I’m from Fort Collins,” said Derek Vincent Smith, a.k.a. DJ/producer Pretty Lights. “People never expect it.” Pretty Lights has since moved to downtown Denver, but Smith still is selling out clubs across America — and he crossed the million-downloads mark last year as he was about to headline a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre.Fort Collins dream-pop band Candy Claws became a blog favorite in 2010, even securing a spot on NPR critic Robin Hilton’s year-end Top 10 list with their record “Hidden Lands.” Ukulele wiz Danielle Ate the Sandwich also represents Fort Collins, even though she now lives a little south, in Loveland. Rock band the Northern Way has a radio-ready sound that could be picked up by a major label any minute now. And Fort Collins even had its own showcase of music at last year’s South by Southwest Music Festival — a day party at the world’s most influential music event that included Candy Claws, the Northern Way, Wire Faces, Fierce Bad Rabbit and Motorhome.

Bitz and the Meadowlark are celebrating their passion for the scene up north with a Fort Collins residency that will run Thursday nights at the Meadowlark throughout February — starting Feb. 3 with Eliza Boote, the Kevin Costner Suicide Pact and Sour Boy, Bitter Girl. “When I think about the best music coming out of Colorado, Fort Collins keeps coming to mind,” Bitz said. Local band manager Rande Kamolz agrees. After living in Boulder for seven years, watching the number of small venues dwindle — thus lessening the gig opportunities for local bands — Kamolz made the move to Denver. “Losing a lot of the small venues like the B Side Lounge really hurt Boulder,” said Kamolz, who manages the Kevin Costner Suicide Product and works with the Fort Collins- based arts collective Act So Big Forest. “The Program Council at CU tried to bring music into town, but it’s hard to compete when kids would rather go out and party. It’s easier for bands to go to the Hi-Dive in Denver, where they’ll have an automatic good crowd because that’s not always the case in Boulder.”

Being able to gig out regularly is a huge stepping stone in any band’s career, added Dickerson, noting the section of Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” that addresses the Beatles’ grueling time in Germany. “The ability for bands to cut their teeth and play shows regularly is huge,” Dickerson said, “and Fort Collins has that infrastructure of rock clubs in Surfside (7), Hodi’s (Half Note), Road 34, Avo’s, the Aggie and more.” Let’s not forget Everyday Joe’s, the nonprofit coffee shop that “supports local musicians to the extreme — as well as bringing in amazing touring artists,” said Jonathan Alonzo, who used to manage Candy Claws, plays in Paean and founded Act So Big Forest. Everyday Joe’s hosts regular shows for the Fort Collins faithful. More important, it’s a coffee shop with an actual stage and a decent sound system — and it’s still a favorite haunt for one of Fort Collins’ most famous musicians. “My favorite place to play in Colorado is Everyday Joe’s,” said Danielle Anderson, better known as Danielle Ate the Sandwich, a mostly solo folk act with more than 3.5 million YouTube views and a No. 5 peak on the iTunes singer- songwriter chart.

“It’s such a quiet room, and the people — the Fort Collins people, who are my people — are good people.” Anderson has been gigging out for more than five years in Fort Collins. “There are more acts coming out of Fort Collins and being serious about it — making CDs and touring outside of Colorado,” she said. “They are more than just local bands who play every once in a while for their friends. They’re real and serious about it, and that’s a big difference than where we were five years ago.” Tommy Metz remembers those days. “When I was younger, it was me and my friends playing around,” said Metz, a Denver-based Fort Collins expat better known as the man behind experimental electronic outfit Iuengliss. “There were a couple bands, like Green Lemon, that we’d go and see. But it was mostly us seeing each other’s bands. Now it’s spawned into a bunch of groups of friends who have different music projects. It’s really exploded up there. Act So Big Forest, I think a lot of those guys went to my school — Lincoln Junior High and Poudre High — but they were all younger.
