Suburban Home announces 14th Anniversary Celebrations


This from Virgil Dickerson of Suburban Home Records:

That’s right, Suburban Home turns 14 in September. As we have in recent years, we plan to throw a weekend of festivities that will be sure to leave your ears happy and your liver sad. Unlike some Anniversaries, this is not just another year. Our entire history at Suburban Home has seen its share of ups and downs. We have suffered through declining CD sales, experienced renewed interest in vinyl, and feel throughout all of this that we have been putting out the best records we have ever released. As other labels have been shutting their doors, we continue to eek by. This anniversary finds us celebrating much like I imagine an terminal patient might celebrate another birthday. Who knows how many years we have left? It’s not worth worrying about, instead we are excited to celebrate another beautiful year.

Mark the following dates on your calendar:

Thursday, September 10th – Suburban Home Anniversary warm-up show (either in Ft Collins or Colorado Springs)
Friday, September 11th – Suburban Home 14th Anniversary show #1 at 3 Kings Tavern
Saturday, September 12th – Daytime- Garage Sale/Flea Market, Nighttime- Suburban Home 14th Anniversary show #2 at 3 Kings Tavern
Sunday, September 13th – Suburban Home 14th Anniversary BBQ and Washers Tournament at Wash Park

So far, the following Suburban Home artists have committed to performing: Joey Cape, Jon Snodgrass, Chad Price, maybe Drag the River, Austin Lucas, Two Cow Garage, Mike Hale, Jr. Juggernaut, The Takers, and the Revenge.

We are still awaiting final confirmations from: Look Mexico, Tim Barry, Josh Small, In the Red, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, and Ninja Gun. And we are working on a few surprise performers that are a part of the extended Suburban Home family. Stay tuned, it should be one hell of a party.

I am working on a deal at the Towne Place Suites Hotel on 6th and Broadway for people coming in from out of town. I am also working on a few brewery tours, and other fun things to do for people that are new to our fine city. Just mark the dates on your calendar and start pricing out flights!
