Being a rock fanatic myself, and hosting a weekly radio show centered around that genre, I began to wonder about the best ways I listen to rock music here in Fort Collins. With new venues popping up everyday, and fresh talents being discovered, there is certainly plenty of music to go around; it can even get overwhelming at times. So without further ado, these are (in no particular order) my go-to’s when I’m craving some rock.

  1. 106.7 KBPI

If you’re looking for a mix of new and old rock, and want to hear about up-and-coming rock artists, turn your dial to to 106.7 and prepare for some seriously awesome content. They do special rock news features and daily historical look-backs in rock history.

2. Surfside 7

Their motto is “Eat. Drink. Rock.”, and that’s exactly what they do. The cozy venue nestled in Old Town on Linden Street features lots of eclectic acts, and have karaoke every Wednesday night. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
