Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the September 21 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.
What a wild and crazy show this week! We previewed the 3rd annual DeltaPalooza benefit concert, taking place next Saturday, September 27, outside the JFK Student Center on the campus of St. Francis University in Loretto, with proceeds going to the American Red Cross. We welcomed four brothers from the event’s sponsors, Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, to discuss the show. We also welcomed a number of musicians involved in the show, including Chris V. & the Stanley Street Band and Moxie. We got the lowdown on everything that will happen during DeltaPalooza, and the brothers (who are musicians themselves) and musical guests jammed together live on the air! We also debuted new songs from The Clover, Charlie Wheeler Band, The Jellybricks, Born & the Beanstalk and Valencia; updated Local Music News, and reviewed Ryan Matthew’s Driving Home 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.) As I said, a crazy show!
Here is this week’s playlist:
HOUR ONE:
THE CLOVER – “Kiss Me I’m Irish Today”
THE MARAUDERS – “Late Night Livin’”
RICKY LEE – “Barbecue Snake and Apple Pie”
CHARLIE WHEELER BAND – “I Got to Ramble”

THE JELLYBRICKS – “Ruin Us”
BLAKKJAK – “Step Back”
BORN & THE BEANSTALK – “Space Oddity”
VALENCIA – “Holiday”
HOUR TWO:
LIES INC. – “Don’t Blink”
THE AVANTGARDE – “Mama’s Right”

SHADES OF JUNE – “Awake”

Next Sunday night, with no guests scheduled in the studio, we’ll use the opportunity to get caught up on a number of new local and regional recordings that have arrived at “Backyard Rocker” headquarters in recent weeks. We’ll also update Local Music News, and review another new local/regional CD in “The Professor’s CD Corner!” We’ll feature maximum local and regional music on the “Backyard Rocker,” next Sunday night!
