Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the June 10 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.
Thanks to our guests via phone, singer Bryan Harmony and guitarist Larry Werner from the Allentown-based band Spitshine (www.spitshinemusic.com), for taking time out to chat with us this week. Bryan and Larry informed us of the latest Spitshine happenings, including their collaboration with noted producer David Ivory. We heard some new tunes from the Spitshine/Ivory collaboration, as well as tunes from Spitshine’s first two CD’s. We also dug into the archives to play a tune from Bryan’s and Larry’s previous band, Jolly Roger, for a “Local Music Flashback.”
We also spoke with Missy Miller of Fast Trackers Relay for Life (www.fasttrackersrelayforlife.com), to discuss Fast Trackers’ 4th annual Relay for Life Band Jam, a day-long music event happening this coming Saturday, June 16, at the Shade Gap Picnic Grounds in Huntingdon County. And we debuted new songs from Justin Mack, Doug Forshey, Spin and Real Be Easys.
