Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Anthony Russo Band performed at the September edition of the Open Music Sessions, the free monthly concert and party hosted by Denver's Open Media Foundation. Fresh off a tour behind Curtis Hawkins's LP South Clarkson Street, the local trio — which includes Hawkins himself on bass — brought its blend of smooth blues and boogie, featuring Russo's vocals and striking guitar work. Peter Gregory plays drums for the group. Watch the full performance below. Stems of the songs are available for download and remix, courtesy of the band and Open Media Foundation.
Listen to and remix to your heart's content with the stems from the Anthony Russo Band's Open Music Session.
About Open Music Sessions: Every month, Westword joins Open Media Foundation and Greater Than Collective to bring you Open Music Sessions, a video series aimed at introducing people to bands and providing context for their music. Every First Friday, we bring a band to the Open Media Foundation studio at Seventh and Kalamath and record a live performance. In addition to broadcasting the show live on the Denver Open Media TV stations (Comcast channels 56, 57 and 219), we edit the clips for certain songs, which you can find at westword.com. You'll also find additional information about the band and the recordings of individual instruments on select songs, which you are welcome to download in order to create remixes or simply to learn more about the way the music is constructed.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
