Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the November 9 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, Michael Reich, for making his annual trek in to enlighten us on his music, his career, the Pittsburgh Steelers and more. Michael recently released his third album, “Who's Minding The Store.” We heard numerous tracks from the CD, and Michael debuted a brand new song live in the studio for us as well. We discussed Mike's music and career, and with the Steelers finally winning a game this particular Sunday, we offered an optimistic forecast as the Black & Gold play a weak schedule for the rest of the regular season. It was again a fun two hours, and several lucky listeners won copies of Michael's new CD. We also debuted a new song from Third Standard; and we tipped the hat to Athens, GA-based rock band Southern Bitch, who played a show in the Altoona area this past week.

This week's playlist:

HOUR ONE:

DAVE DISTEFANO w/GRINNING MOB - “Light The Fire, Get Down”
MICHAEL REICH - “Turning On a Dime”
DARCIE MINER BAND - “Orphan”
MICHAEL REICH - “Don't Turn Me Away”
THIRD STANDARD - “Rabbit Run”
MICHAEL REICH - “Wireless”
SOUNDRIVE - “Stirrings Of The Soul”

HOUR TWO:

THE MARAUDERS - “Oh My My”
SOUTHERN BITCH - “Dandelion”
MICHAEL REICH - “Like A Fire” (live in studio)
MICHAEL REICH - “2nd Street (Hey Hey)”
NO REFILL - “Stand Up For Your Rights”
MICHAEL REICH - “Live For Today”
POKER FACE - “Prayer For America”
MICHAEL REICH - “Line In The Sand”

This coming Sunday, Nov. 16, our guests in the studio will be Cambria County-based rock group Soundrive. Together since 1996, Soundrive released their debut CD, “Resided Emotions,” earlier this year. Hear songs from the CD, plus listen to win a copy. And the group will perform some new songs live on the program as well. Explore the musical world of Soundrive on the “Backyard Rocker,” this Sunday night!
