Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the April 30 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.
This week, we welcomed guests from out of state, as New Jersey's Blue Number Nine (www.bluenumbernine.com) visited the program. We got acquainted with the band members, learned about their music and career to date, and heard several songs from their latest CD, Living It Up in the New World. The group also brought their instruments, and played two songs live on the air. And if you enjoyed what you heard from Blue Number Nine, mark Friday evening, July 28, on your calendars, as the group will be back in Altoona to play at the Blair County Arts Foundation's "Summer Sounds Of Jazz" concert series, at the Curtin Mall in downtown Altoona at 7 PM. And it's free!
Here is this week's playlist:
HOUR ONE:
THE MARAUDERS - "She Put A Curse On Me"
FELIX & THE HURRICANES - "Icy You"
BLUE NUMBER NINE - "Dig My Hands"
BLUE NUMBER NINE - "The Lucky Ones"
GRADE E - "Mined"
BLUE NUMBER NINE - "Castles" (performed live on the air)
BLUE NUMBER NINE - "Never Felt That Way"

Next Sunday night, we welcome the return of Middletown-based singer, songwriter, guitarist and "Rock Diva," Sherri Mullen! Sherri recently released her second studio album, On The Edge; we'll get reacquainted with Sherri, hear songs from the album, and you'll have chances to call in and win copies! Also, it will be a "Harley Qualification Weekend," so you'll have opportunities to call and get qualified for Q94's 2006 Harley-Davidson Street Bob, being given away June 17! Sherri Mullen returns to the "Backyard Rocker," next Sunday night!
