We are honored to host Clay Rose, of the Gasoline Lollipops, for a very special singer-songwriter night. Clay's guest is Bonnie Sims.About this event
Clay Rose is a Colorado singer-songwriter and frontman for the Gasoline Lollipops. Clay's authentic, soulful songwriting and lyrics make him a "must-see" on the Colorado music scene. We are honored to host Clay for a series of intimate "listening room" experiences at the Roots Music Project warehouse.
"We're going to talk about the songwriting craft, life influences, heartbreak, and all of the experiences that fuel good songwriting", Clay explains to a recent audience.
On March 16th 2023, Clay will be joined by Bonnie Sims.
Bonnie Sims: "I started singing as early as three years old, my father was a professional musician and played children's music for a living. Growing up I played at theme parks and summer festivals with my dad in a traditional string band, singing and playing mandolin and acoustic guitar. I played at Six Flags Over Texas (Arlington) and Silver Dollar City (Branson) as well as public libraries all over TX in support of my father's musical summer reading program. As a young child I sang on the theme song for the nationally syndicated children's television program, Wishbone, as well as recorded two family band albums with my father, Mike Cruciger.
I went to South Plains College to pursue commercial music and songwriting, and ended up meeting my husband and future musical partner there as well. He was already playing in a bluegrass band based out of Lyons, CO, so after graduating I joined him in CO and started writing and playing live shows, forming my own band Bonnie & the Clydes and releasing four studio albums over the next ten years.
Over the next few years through mutual friends we met our current musical collaborator, Robbie Nevil. With Robbie we began experimenting with a way heavier produced sound and started cowriting, namely for sync licensing and dubbed our new project Everybody Loves An Outlaw. Sync music felt like a smart thing to invest in, as musicians who had primarily made our income from playing live shows and selling our merch at shows, having our foot in another camp felt like a wise move. When Covid shutdowns happened across our entire industry at the start of 2020 we started to realize how significant that move really was. We ended up having one of our songs with Everybody Loves An Outlaw, 'I See Red', get placed in a Netflix movie 365DNI/Days and subsequently "go viral", changing the course of our career in seemingly an instant and giving us this incredible asset in the negotiations that followed. We went from being essentially invisible in the industry to taking meetings with VPs of A&R at Republic, Columbia, Arista and a handful of other labels, and ending up signing a singles deal with Columbia Records for 'I See Red' through the original music library that we had licensed our first batch of ELAO songs through, Extreme Music. We're excited to see where our ELAO music leads while staying connected to our community and each other through our duo project. "
