Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the September 2 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.
The “Backyard Rocker” didn’t take a holiday this Labor Day Weekend, it was a jam-packed two hours! First, thanks to our in-studio guests, area rockers Spirit Lost (www.spiritlost.com)! We got acquainted with the band members and learned about their music and career to date; plus we heard newly recorded songs from their forthcoming CD, expected out by year’s end. And the group brought acoustic instruments and performed two songs live for us.
We also aired an interview with Bill Hocherl and Kevin Siegel of Rock For The Troops, the music scene initiative formed through Rockpage (www.rockpage.net) to gather videotaped greetings and well-wishes for local troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bill and Kevin gave us the lowdown on Rock For The Troops and their day-long free concert event next Sunday, Sept. 9, at downtown Altoona’s Heritage Plaza.
We also updated Local Music News, and debuted new tunes from Ted McCloskey, The Nightcrawlers, The Rustlanders and Dashboard Mary. And we reviewed Vs. the Earth’s new CD, The Initiative, in “The Professor’s CD Corner.” (The review can be viewed in the “Backyard Rocker” section on the Message Board on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com.)
Here is this week's playlist:
