Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the April 27 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.
Thanks to our guests this week, musical collaborators Zupe & Nichols (www.zupe.net), for an interesting, informative and insightful two hours! The two musicians enlightened us on their collaborative history, and gave us insight into the creation of their new instrumental CD, Speechless. We aired a number of tracks from the CD, and also gave away several copies to lucky listeners! We also debuted new songs from Summeoyo and Don Hughes, recapped the 18th annual Crazy Fest Amateur Talent Show (which happened earlier in the day) as we updated Local Music News, and reviewed Sarah Fleck & the Palpitations’ Blue Jeans & Daydreams CD 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.) Another fun show!
