Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the August 31 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 guest, David Burtner, for some interesting and insightful discussion on this week's program. During the first hour, we introduced the listeners to David's onstage alter ego, Summeoyo, who performs a unique mix of modern pop, hip-hop, funk and humor. We heard numerous songs during the show from Summeoyo's debut CD, "Don't Judge A Song By Its Title." We also discussed David's goals for Summeoyo and his own career; David would like to market Summeoyo towards morning radio shows and advertising jingle possibilities. We also got inside the creative process that David goes through when he develops a song; we played an early clip of "Lusty Busty Femme Fatale," and then played the updated Summeoyo version of that same song in its entirety. We discussed songwriting topics, production issues, copyrights and publishing, and other issues. In all, it was a very insightful and informative two hours.
We also premiered new songs from Brad Yoder and Dave Kephart, Jr.
