Write Minded: a Fresh-Funk-Fusion-Jam-breaking-genre-boundary-band competed for Scene Magazine Fresh Talent Showcase and took home the grand prize pack that includes free recording time, a spread on the cover and a spot at the Arise Festival.
Write Minded calls Fort Collins home. They are a six-piece band comprised of:
Vocals / Sam Mouton (who competed on The Voice in 2012)
Vocals / Jesse Neth
Bass / Jarod Ford (Turtlebear)
Guitar / Forrester Tamkun
Drums / Jonah Greene
Keys and Synths / Wilson Slaughter
Scene Magazine is an independent monthly publication that empowers the local Fort Collins music Eco-system with journalistic support. The Scene has evolved with Northern Colorado Music. They still exist in print; despite that, some say it is extinct, in addition to a digital version online.
The Competition is in its 3rd year of existence, staged, so all ten bands go head to head for 20 minutes each. Judges vote for the winners who are announced at the end of the evening.
Competing Bands included:
The Seen and Unseen
Johnny and the Mongrels
The Bardots
High Country Lowlifes
Race to Neptune
South to Cedars
Senorita Sometimes
Write Minded
The Great Aerodrome
I Am the Owl
