The Colorado Sound

Host Chris K., aka “goat,” is no stranger to Colorado music and radio.  He has been on the air in Northern Colorado off and on since 1977, with on-air stints at KPAW (classic rock), KGLL (country), KCSU (public radio, Americana, rock & jazz shows), KSQI (AOR & AAA), KIMN (CHR / Hot AC), KUAD (Top 40 / AC) and more. He is arguably the first dj in NoCo to have ever played a rap record on the radio (KUAD, 1980) or in a mainstream, mass-appeal dance-club (Theo’s, Greeley, 1980).

Chris’ articles, essays, criticisms, reviews, and editorials have appeared online and in local, regional and national music and radio publications like Scene Magazine, FMQB, the Album Network, GodsofMusic.com, Makeastar.com, C0nsensus.com, and the Colorado Music Buzz.

Chris K. has been a character in the music scene along the Front Range of Colorado in four decades now … and despite the grass he chews on regularly, he shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
