Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 7 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBRX 94.7 and WBXQ 94.3. The show is brought to you by The Altoona Curve (www.altoonacurve.com), “Everybody’s Hometown Team!”
Thanks to our guest, Justin Mack (www.seventides.net), and his two partners in crime, manager Gung and friend Hub, for a wild and busy two hours! Justin, a Portage native now residing in Annapolis, MD, updated us on his career, and gave us insight into his new CD, Long Road Home, with color commentary from Gung and Hub along the way! We heard numerous tracks from the CD, plus two lucky listeners phoned in to win two free copies! In addition, Justin brought along his acoustic guitar and performed a song live on the air. And unlike Justin’s past two “Backyard Rocker” appearances, nobody was deathly sick nor did any equipment malfunction during the course of the program!
We also updated Local Music News, and reviewed Acalasia’s debut CD, What Makes You a Maniac?, in “The Professor’s CD Corner.” (The review can be read in the “Backyard Rocker” section of the message board area on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com.) And on top of all that, we debuted new songs from Deb Callahan, Tony Janflone Jr., Alicia Keister and Complete Circle. Wow, what a busy show!
Here is this week’s playlist:
HOUR ONE:
FELIX & THE HURRICANES – “Backyard Rocker”
SPOONCHATTER – “Smile”
JUSTIN MACK – “N.F.A.”
DEB CALLAHAN – “Fat Cat”
JUSTIN MACK – “Morning”

JUSTIN MACK – “Egodeath”
ACALASIA – “Based on True Stories”

COMPLETE CIRCLE – “Headline TV”
JUSTIN MACK – “Free” (live)
Next Sunday night, we originally planned to stage the next installment of the popular "Acoustic Jam Special." But since Q94 is in the process of moving into another facility, we've decided to hold off on doing the "Acoustic Jam Special" until after the dust has settled from the move. Instead, there will be no guests in studio, and we'll use the show to get caught up on new CD releases that have arrived at "Backyard Rocker" headquarters in recent weeks. So it will be maximum local and regional music on the “Backyard Rocker,” next Sunday night!
Forthcoming guests and specials include:
OCT. 21 - John Charney/Lori Howsare (Rocky Horror Show)
OCT. 28 - White Witch (Halloween Special)
NOV. 4 - Acalasia
NOV. 11 - Our Broken Silence
NOV. 18 - Subdue
NOV. 25 - Way Down East
DEC. 2 - Hi-Tyde
DEC. 9 - SongWorks
DEC. 16 - Images Of Eden
DEC. 23 - Christmas Special
DEC. 30 - 2007 Year in Review Special
JAN. 6 - Crow In The Snow
