Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 22 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 the members of Right Side Thief – Joel Stiles, John Solinski, Ken Karlheim and Dan Way – for joining us on this week's program. Currently a studio project, Right Side Thief is putting the finishing touches on their debut CD, slated for a summer release. We discussed the project; heard melodic, progressive-geared songs from the CD; and learned about Right Side Thief's plans to perform live this coming summer. We also debuted new songs from Hannah Bingman and New Eden Orchestra.
