Marty Nightengale - Music

We have heard good things about Marty Nightengale so we made sure to catch him last week at Pappy’s Corner Pub and we’re glad we made the effort. Marty hails from New York and prides himself in having played 150 shows a year for the past 10 years. The good news is, he is now a resident of Northern Colorado and can be seen and heard all over town.

Marty’s song choices were driven by blues, pop, rock and some contemporary sounds. He did unique acoustic covers like “What’s up” by Four Non-blonds, “Crash” by Dave Mathews Band and an impressive version of “Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels! The nice thing about his set-list is it comes from the crowd directly, courtesy of a song book he passes around.

Pappy’s Corner Pub was packed and kept filling up with people from all age groups as the night went on. All seemed to enjoy Marty’s performance and even chatted with him while he took breaks. The nice thing about his performance was his interactions with the crowd and how he made everyone feel like they were buddies hanging out. All in all he is a charming and amazingly talented performer, and people appreciate him for the sake of being himself.

DJ Nunez - Music

A young local Dj with nowhere to go but up has been getting people on the dance floor all over Fort Collins.  With the death of vinyl records and the rise of the digital media, DJ Nunez is on the front edge with his fresh mixes and video Dj-ing. With his turn tables and computer in hand , he brings more than music to his local gigs, he brings skills. We have seen him several times around downtown Fort Collins, and can tell this guy loves what he does and does it well. What we really like  is he plays songs everybody knows, mixed with some new stuff, without cramming it down your throat.

DJ Nunez mixes top 40 with rap, reggaeton, r&b and hip hop (new and old school) while incorporating the music videos, using a video software program. If people don’t want to dance to the music, they can at least watch it. Besides the music, he keeps the crowd going with his Mc-ing skills and taking song requests, which makes every one happy.

Dj Nunez knows how to beat-match, scratch, choose the right tracks, read the crowd and pack the dance floor in no time at all. You can find him Dj-ing at the Drunken Monkey and Octane weekly. You can check out his schedule and “mixtapes” at http://www.dj-nunez.com.
