On the March edition of Air Check, Jake and Jeff listen to some music with local musician and record producer Adam Hawkins during the musical roundtable discussion. Hawkins owns a recording studio in Colorado Springs called Right Heel Studios where much of the Pikes Peak region's local talent choose to lay down tracks. We also get a visit from the Denver-based bluegrass band Trout Steak Revival who play a couple tunes and talk with Vicky. Trout Steak Revival won the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Competition and are gaining national recognition for their music.

Trout Steak Revival is a bluegrass band based out of Denver Colorado, and their music has won them numerous awards and accolades, including winning the Telluride Bluegrass competition in 2014. The band is touring extensively around the country, and this summer they’ll play Virginia’s Floyd Fest alongside Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlisle, and the String Cheese Incident. The band took some time to talk with Vicky and play a couple songs in the KRCC studios before playing a packed house in Manitou Springs later in the day.
