Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the January 22 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.
Thanks to our guest in the studio this week, Johnstown-based singer, songwriter, guitarist and performer Dave Distefano (www.davedistefano.com), for an insightful and entertaining two hours. We got acquainted with Dave and his career to date, and heard tracks from his soon-to-be-released debut album. Dave also brought a guitar and harmonica along and performed two songs live on the air.
We also updated Local Music News, and introduced new tunes from Halestorm, Rik Golden, Periwinkle Shag, The Marauders and Suns Of Asylum. We celebrated the Steelers punching their ticket to the Super Bowl with the Groove Junkies’ “Steelers Pittsburgh Blues” to open the show, and we did two Local Flashbacks to recall tunes from Inside Out and Raging Slab.
