Camper Van Beethoven, Blue Merle, Graham Colton Band, Jem

Fox Theater, Boulder, CO......

Nashville's Blue Merle had one stellar song, "Burning In the Sun," which would be the centerpiece for the band's 2003 debut EP, their first single, and the lead-off track from their debut 2005 album Burning in the Sun. It didn't hurt that it sounded like Dave Matthews at a time when DMB and Matthews himself were in between albums. Unfortunately, the band wasn't able to capitalize on that terrific song and only lasted one album. (Guitarist Luke Reynolds would join Guster in 2010, a band I had seen in Boulder at the same conference the year previous.

Camper Van was good. Jem and Graham Colton weren't very memorable. 

There was a bar right next to the Fox Theater called Players Club (formerly Tulagi), and for these radio convention showcase performances, conference attendees could go back and forth between venue to see the artists performing at each with staggered set times. Here's who was playing at Players Club this night
