Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 3 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBXQ 94.3. The show is brought to you by The Altoona Curve (www.altoonacurve.com), “Everybody’s Hometown Team!”
We knew what we were up against; major competition from the sporting world. But rain, sleet, snow or the Super Bowl won’t stop the “Backyard Rocker” from its appointed rounds; and while the big football game drama played out in Arizona, we presented the annual “Super Bowl Widow’s Special,” and put the spotlight on the ladies of local and regional music. We heard from the women who sing and play instruments on the local and regional music scene. Along the way, we debuted new tunes from Just Megan, Jennifer Drummey and the Small Band, Haley Sheeler and Meghan Carr. We also updated Local Music News, and presented two editions of “The Professor’s CD Corner;” reviewing Christine Havrilla’s Velocity CD during the first hour and Deja Vudoo’s Scratching the Surface CD during the second hour. (The reviews can be read in the “Backyard Rocker” section of the message board area on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com.)
