This recording from Sunday, March 15, feels like a surreal postcard from the past; a portal into another world. Kevin James Marquis plays a guitar next to the Coffee Cowboy on Main Street, Telluride, in a strange “in-between” time: on the heels of the ski resort closing, but before San Miguel County declares a State of Emergency. Marquis had a CD-release party planned that, like many other gatherings, was cancelled. So, he plops himself on a bench, perches a hat next to his foot, and plays for passersby.
