MAGIC MUSIC

Boulder’s eclectic-acoustic, legendary jam band, Magic Music, is known for defining the sound of jam band music in Colorado, Magic Music inspired the ever-increasing trend of Rocky Mountain-based jam bands. Formed in 1970, the band’s celebrated highlights included performances at Tulagi on Hill, Ebbets Field, the 2nd and 3rd Telluride Bluegrass Festival, The Denver Folklore Center, touring with Navarro (Carol King’s backup band), and playing shows with David Bromberg, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Cat Stevens, The Youngbloods, Michael Murphy, Doc Watson, and more. Magic Music played their last gig in 1976 at The Blue River in Breckenridge with Navarro. “We were basically put out of business by disco and it's too bad, because this was truly fun music for listening and laughing - and a trip back to the Woodstock days,” said singer, guitarist and banjoist for Magic Music, Chris Daniels of Chris Daniels and the Kings. The original Magic Music members reuniting for this show will be Chris “Spoons” Daniels (from Chris Daniels and the Kings and Spoons), George “Tode” Cahill, Will “Wilbur” Luckey (from Alex Taylor’s Band), Bill “Das” Makepeace, Rob “Puna” Galloway (from Navarro and Leftover Salmon), Tim “T.G” Goodman (from The Too High Band, CBS™ solo artist, and the band Southern Pacific on Warner Brothers™ Records). Other members of the band included the late Lynn “Flatbush” Poyer who was the band’s founder. Magic Music is one of the most important and influential collaborators of the acoustic music movement of the early 1970s, also associated with James Taylor, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Old & In The Way, and Pentangle.
