About Us

Second Story Garage brings in awesome musical acts from Colorado — or those just passing through — to a small, makeshift recording studio in the newsroom of the Daily Camera, a news outfit in Boulder.

Your host is Quentin Young a reporter at the Daily Camera (Boulder).

Once a week, a band comes in, chats with Quentin, and plays a few songs. Then we share all of that with you. Learn about the Garage by clicking here.
