KRFC Live@Lunch

Dave Beegle w/ Christian Teele & Michael Olson

Dave Beegle is one of the most talented, respected, and creative musicians in the state of Colorado. Whether as sideman for various big-name musical acts (Liz Barnez and Taylor Scott among them), head honcho in the eclectic Dave Beegle Acoustic Band, or just letting his classic rock flag fly in the Dave Beegle Blues Band, Dave's incredible command of his guitar is somewhat at odds with his approachable, humble nature. 

RADO LIVE@LUNCH

In 2019 RADO formed and took up the cause in Denver’s prolific music scene. The band melds together ferocious psychedelic rock music with syncopated dance grooves and stylistic melodies while mixing in thoughtfully crafted lyrical & vocal hooks. The music of RADO is heavily centered around building improvisational jams that reach soaring and everlasting peaks.

d'Lovelies

With 3-part harmonies and hot guitar licks, d’Lovelies bring upbeat, danceable tunes to venues around the Front Range. Based in Lyons, Colorado, we play traditional blues, jazz, Western swing, and original Americana. Led by guitarist and songwriter Rob Pate alongside vocalist Erin Friedman and bassist/vocalist Duane Webster, this musical phenomenon serves up rocking live performances that are De-lightful, De-licious, and De-Lovely.

Teresa Storch Band

When you experience Teresa Storch Band, you first feel the solid, rhythmic energy: the pulse of a meditative ballad or the infectious groove of a jam-rock tune. Next, you notice the catchy, guitar-laden melodies. As your ears dig deeper you’ll find the lyrics pulling at your heart and soul. This is what happens when a singer/songwriter from the Boston area creates music with an electric guitarist from the New Jersey jam scene.
Teresa Storch Band grew organically from the meeting of (now husband and wife) Teresa  Storch and Peter Lacis. Storch’s soulful voice and lyrics combine with Lacis’ soaring and complex guitar arrangements, creating an original, genre-pushing rock sound with jam and roots origins. As the Teresa Storch Duo, Storch and Lacis have toured internationally, performing at festivals in Scotland and Ireland.

Damien Gunn and the Magnificent Bang Bangs

From Backroads Ballads to Boot Stompin' Beats: The Raw Grit and Glory of Damien Gunn Band
They ain't your average Nashville darlings, these rough-and-tumble troubadours hailing from the heartland. Damien Gunn Band bleeds red, white, and blue through every sweat-soaked chord and whiskey-soaked lyric. Their music? Forget neatly polished pop-country or radio-friendly ballads. This is American grit distilled into six-string anthems and foot-stompin' rhythms, a sonic tapestry woven from the threads of classic rock and modern country, with a generous splash of outlaw spirit thrown in for good measure.
Think Springsteen jamming with Skynyrd in a honky-tonk after midnight, fueled by moonshine and a shared love for the open road. Damien Gunn, the band's namesake, leads the charge with a gravelly voice that's weathered like his worn leather boots. His songwriting paints vivid portraits of small-town heroes and blue-collar dreams, tales of heartache and hard work set against the backdrop of dusty highways and starlit skies.
These ain't no studio-sculpted boys. The Damien Gunn Band thrives on the raw energy of the live show. They've shared stages with some of the biggest names in the biz, from Aaron Lewis to Puddle of Mudd, but their true magic unfolds in the sweaty confines of dive bars and dusty county fairs. Here, the music becomes a primal force, a call to arms that unites strangers in a shared roar of guitars and boots stomping the hardwood floor.
And if you think their patriotism is just lip service, think again. These boys put their money where their hearts are. Their "Operation: Fill the Boot" initiative has raised over $90,000 for veteran support organizations and first responders, a testament to their unwavering commitment to the folks who keep America running.
So next time you're hankering for some honest-to-goodness rock 'n' roll with a country twang and a whole lot of heart, seek out the Damien Gunn Band. They'll leave you hoarse from singin' along, boots scuffed from dancin', and with a renewed appreciation for the raw power of American music. Just remember, bring your own boots, 'cause these boys are gonna fill 'em up.
This ain't no ordinary country band, folks. This is the Damien Gunn Band, and they're here to remind you what American music sounds like when it's played with soul, sweat, and a whole lot of heart.

Heart Medicine

Heart Medicine is a soulful reggae-pop woman-led band from Fort Collins, Colorado. The band focuses on making music about positivity, celebrating life even when life is hard, and smiling till your cheeks hurt. Don’t be surprised when Amy’s heartfelt lyrics and captivating vocals leave you wanting more. Heart Medicine was initially formed as Amy in the Peace Pipes in the winter of 2014 in Amy Russell’s effort to expand her solo piano/vocals into something that could encapsulate the energy and passion of her vulnerable lyrics. Music has been a powerful outlet for Amy that has given her a voice for the pain she has endured through abuse and betrayal, channeling it into a message of hope, triumph, and love. When reviewing the 2015 self-titled album, Scene Magazine wrote, “The lyrics are often personal and are seemingly always accompanied with a message of optimism.” Heart Medicine established itself throughout northern Colorado, playing over 100 shows across the front range. In addition to releasing several singles in 2023, including Watch Me, Special K, and Take Me Back, Heart Medicine also re-recorded several tracks from their Amy and the Peace Pipes, released in a compilation called Echoes of Peace. The band is preparing to return to the studio to finish a new album for a 2025 release. Heart Medicine continues to promote the realization of inner beauty and self-worth, conquering adversity, and embracing the optimism that lies in the unknown through its unique piano-rock/reggae/alternative sound.
