LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Colorado’ - Daniel Rodriguez

Featuring the guest vocals of Carolyn Hunter and a special appearance by Tyrone the Dog, our featured track today is a song of homecoming. Colorado singer-songwriter, Daniel Rod­­riguez, turns to his acoustic guitar for memorable, melodic hooks to accompany his poetic and contemplative folk songs.

Daniel comments “I’ve traveled so many places in this world, from the mundane to the miraculously beautiful, but at all times I have looked forward to returning back home to Colorado. That’s what this song is about, and Jesse Borrell directed and captured this sentiment masterfully on camera for the official video for my song, ‘Colorado.’ We chased the sunlight to get both morning and evening golden hours, and took over a motel on the eastern plains to get these beautiful shots. I released the song recently as a single, though it will be part of a larger collection of songs under the album title ‘Sojourn of a Burning Sun’ coming sometime next year.”

Boulder Weekly refers to Rodriguez’s voice as “a timeless folk voice, deep and hearty, weathered but comforting.” With over a decade under his belt as one of the founding members and lead songwriters of the transcendental folk band, Elephant Revival, Rodriguez is well-versed in the Americana tour circuit. Before going on hiatus, after their third headlining Red Rocks show in May 2018, Elephant Revival had released six albums and performed countless shows and festivals across the nation as well as overseas.

Needing to fill the musical void that might have become following Elephant Revival’s hiatus announcement, Rodriguez immediately headed out on tour as a solo artist. He’s been chosen as main support for bands such as Fruition, Mandolin Orange, Josh Ritter, Birds of Chicago, and John Craigie in addition to being added to numerous festivals like Northwest String Summit, Jam Cruise, and WinterWonderGrass.

Daniel Rodriguez released his debut collection of songs as an EP titled Your Heart The Stars The Milky Way on February 15, 2019.
