Last week we successfully predicted an enormous reception for You Me & Apollo‘s EP release show. A crowd of fans showed up at The Aggie Theatre on Saturday for the celebration that included Turn 4 and this week’s KRFC MusicShare artist, Esmé Patterson.

With appearances playing with various groups on “All Things Considered”, “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show,” folk and roll songstress Esmé Patterson has just finished her first solo album of original songs this Winter via Illegal Pete, Virgil Dickerson and Erin Barnes’ record label, Greater Than Collective. Described by Patterson in an interview as “raw,” All Princes, I is greatly influenced by Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks and Feists’s Metals.

American Songwriter called it “a warm, organic-sounding album that splits the difference between indie pop, folk-rock and coffeehouse jazz” in their full album premiere. Providing collaborations on the album are Nathaniel Rateliff, Roger Green (formerly of the Czars), Ben Desoto (Czars, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bare Bones), Genevieve Patterson and Sarah Anderson (Paper Bird), Carrie Beeder, Eric Moon, Mike Fitzmorris, Will Duncan, and many more.

You can sample the album below and buy it online from Greater Than Collective. Plus we’re sharing a free download of the first track, “My Young Man.”

Please note that downloads offered via KRFC MusicShare are intended to introduce you to great talent in KRFC’s community, and are NOT CD-quality recordings. If you want those, please support the artists by buying their music and/or seeing them live. Get more from KRFC MusicShare >>

In support of the Larimer Humane Society, this one-of-a-kind gathering will feature the banjo belting sounds of the Emmitt-Nershi Band, Bluegrass Delta Force, Constitution, Liz Barnez & Cary Morin Duo, and Turn 4.

Stop by our tent and catch up with our crew of music-loving volunteers! We’d love to hook you up with KRFC gear, get your membership up to date, and talk about everything KRFC has going on this Fall.

Tasty treats and luscious libations will be available for both you and your pup; Odell’s Brewing Company will even be donating a portion of their profits to the Larimer Humane Society so be sure to drink up for the cause!

Don’t miss Umami Eats (ooh.mah.mi), Shields Family Cotton Candy, and others who will be featuring provisions for all taste buds.

For only $10 a ticket ($15 the day of the event, children under 10 and dogs are free), four-legged friends and their bipedal comrades can join in all the fun. Grab a leash and come out for a day of education, awareness, and entertainment for the whole community.

“Turn 4‘s exciting Country sound will rattle your teeth and shake some fillings loose on one song and then touch your deepest regions on the next. Humor and sincerity ooze out of these songs like so much mud, blood and beer after a good barfight.”  – Jason D. Rogers / KRFC
