Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 2 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 recapped the 10th annual Millennium Music Conference (www.musicconference.net), which took place the previous weekend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Harrisburg. We heard sound clips from the conference, including excerpts from some of the panels and trade show, as well as a portion of the musical keynote address from Rusted Root’s Michael Glabicki. We also heard tunes from some of the over 200 bands and artists who showcased in the Harrisburg area during Millennium weekend.
Along the way, we reviewed the new album by Harrisburg’s The Illuminati, called Love And War. (the review can be viewed on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com, in the “Backyard Rocker” section of the Message Board area.)
Here is this week’s playlist:

Next Sunday night, we have no guests scheduled on the program, so we will take the opportunity to get caught up on lots of new local and regional music we have received at “Backyard Rocker” headquarters in recent weeks – including leftovers we didn’t get to this week on the Millennium Music Conference Recap special, plus new music from Pittsburgh’s Billy Price and Tony Janflone, Jr., and much, much more! We’ll also check on Local Music News, and review another new local/regional CD in “The Professor’s CD Corner.” It’s more maximum local/regional music on the “Backyard Rocker,” next Sunday night!
Forthcoming guests and specials include:
JULY 16 – Dave Blackledge
AUG. 6 – Cover Song Special w/Hair Force One
AUG. 13 – Nitekast
AUG. 27 – Fast Forward Special
OCT. 8 – Acoustic Jam Special 6
