Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 16 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.
Guests bearing hot wings for the show host are always a welcome thing at the “Backyard Rocker!” Thanks to Bloomsburg-based singer, songwriter and humorist Dave Blackledge (www.daveblackledge.com) and his partner in crime, Dan Greak, for the wings and the two hours of fun on this week’s “Backyard Rocker!” We discussed Dave’s career and his latest album, Spread In On Thick, plus gave away several copies of the disc. Dave also brought along his acoustic guitar and performed two tunes live on the air. In addition, we discussed the 5th annual PA Singer/Songwriter Festival (www.singersongwriter.ws/festival), which takes place next weekend at Brookpark Farm Inn near Lewisburg. We heard music from several of the performers who will be appearing at this year’s festival, and we gave away blocks of tickets to several lucky listeners to attend the event.
We also reviewed the latest album by another festival performer, Hannah Bingman; her latest CD, Right, Right Now. (The review can be viewed on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com, in the “Backyard Rocker” section of the Message Board area.) We also debuted new tunes from Greg Joseph and Jackson Monsour.
Here is this week’s playlist:

Next Sunday night, we have no guests scheduled, so we will again be getting caught up on new CD’s that have been arriving at “Backyard Rocker” headquarters in recent weeks. We’ll also update Local Music News, and possibly review another new local/regional CD in “The Professor’s CD Corner.” It will again be maximum local and regional music on the “Backyard Rocker,” next Sunday night!
Forthcoming guests and specials include:
AUG. 6 – Cover Song Special w/Hair Force One
AUG. 13 – Nitekast
AUG. 27 – Fast Forward Special
OCT. 8 – Acoustic Jam Special 6
