Here is the recap of the September 11 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBRX 94.3 and WBXQ 94.7.
Better late than never! Due to some special programming commemorating the 4th anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, the “Backyard Rocker” was delayed for the better part of an hour. But once the show did begin, we delivered as promised with two hours of maximum local and regional music.
It was a busy two hours, with several themes surfacing through the program. First, with the Steelers back in action, we opened the show with two songs celebrating the Black and Gold. Second, since it was the 4th anniversary of 9-11, we played several special songs written about that tragic day and about America in general. Third, we spoke with Bill Betts, a spokesman for the 3rd annual “Rock The House” Benefit concert, which takes place next Saturday, Sept. 17, at Greenhouse Park near Johnstown. With proceeds benefiting the IMAC Foundation (which works to make alternative medicines and medical procedures affordable to uninsured and low-income people), the show will feature performances from The Clarks, Pivot, Yum, Flap Jack’n Jill, Love Stomp, The Marauders and more. (For more information about the concert, visit the website http://www.imacjohnstown.org.)
And along the way, we updated Local Music News, and featured numerous new songs from Rachel Allen, Rhyne McCormick, Sodajerk, A Second More Than Forever, Formaldehyde Joker and Second Offense.
