Horizon, a band based in Mancos, will host a show Friday at Mancos Brewing Co. in celebration of the release of their first CD.<\/p>\n

The release party runs 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the brewery, 484 U.S. Highway 160 East Frontage Road.<\/p>\n

Horizon is composed of members Yves LF Giraud (lead singer, songwriter and guitarist), Linda Gimble Baker (singer, flutist and saxophonist) and Isaac James Kimbro (vocals and drums).<\/p>\n

The band formed in August 2022 and now has created more than 75 songs, according to Giraud.<\/p>\n

While Giraud is the one behind the lyrics of Horizon\u2019s songs, Baker and Kimbro come up with many of the musical arrangements, \u201cadding their magical, musical ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to the band\u2019s style, a genreless vibe may be the best way to describe them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of style, although difficult to describe for me, I think we combine R&B, funk, rock and folk, among other styles,\u201d Giraud said. \u201cHonestly, we\u2019re not sure, and I think we like it that way. It gives us a sense of individuality as a band.\u201d<\/p>\n

This individuality and ability to write their own music makes the albums release even more special to the band members. They hope the five-song album is the first of many.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis album means a lot for the band not only for being the first one, hopefully of many, but also because we feel it is a great studio quality representation of what we do live, the way we interact on stage musically and the energy we share with the audience through our songs,\u201d Giraud said. \u201cWe have a great connection as musicians, but also as individuals. And as many of our fans and friends tell us, it shows. With this first album, we have tried our best to portrait the love we put in what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show will also feature special guests Kevin Frazier on electric guitar, Carrie Schneider on keys and Mr. Bill on bass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are blessed to have them join us, and we can\u2019t wait to share that special day with them,\u201d Giraud said.<\/p>\n

People who attend the CD release party can expect a fun time filled with community and music at one of the places that gave Horizon their start.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been quite excited to finally be able to release this album, and we plan to have a lot of fun with this show,\u201d Giraud said. \u201cThe Mancos Brewing Company has been of great support to us, giving us one of our very first shows back in 2022, and a monthly residency every first Friday. We could not think of a better place to do this CD release.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDs and other merchandise will be available to purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to add how grateful we are for our amazing Montezuma supporters, and beyond,\u201d Giraud said. \u201cPlaying all original music can be disheartening at times. We\u2019ve been received with great enthusiasm from Day One, and we could not be more thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band is making plans for a full-length album, inspired by the support they have received from fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s to come next,\u201d Giraud said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
