The Velvet Ropes – Troublesome Fire

“Troublesome Fire” by The Velvet Ropes is a poignant tribute to the resilience of Lyle and Marilyn Hileman, an elderly couple who chose to stay in their cherished home as the East Troublesome Creek Fire ravaged Grand Lake, Colorado, in October 2020. This heartfelt song captures their unwavering love and courage in the face of disaster, blending raw emotion with a blues and roots rock sound. Featuring guest harmonica player Bob Reed, the track showcases the band’s dynamic lineup: Lance Woodson on guitar and bass, Cinco Barnes on lead vocals and guitar, Perin Moretti on keyboards, and Brent Taylor on drums. Together, they deliver a powerhouse performance that demands attention.

The Velvet Ropes, a distributed ensemble of multi-instrumentalists and composers, are known for their eclectic and challenging compositions. Drawing inspiration from legendary bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Rush, they focus on crafting elaborate and unconventional works of musical art. “Troublesome Fire” is their seventh original song, adding to their growing repertoire of thought-provoking music.
