Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 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.
It was a busy two hours this week! First, we welcomed into our studio Chris, James and Rob from the Poptart Monkeys, who talked about their forthcoming third CD, life on the road, their fans, their music and much more. We heard tracks from the forthcoming new CD as well as from the group's last album, "Just Like Me."
In addition, the Poptart Monkeys are one of over 300 bands and artists who will converge on Harrisburg this coming weekend to showcase at the 7th annual Millenium Music Conference. We heard music from several of those showcasing bands and artists (plus one who showcased at last year's event, Ninetail), and chatted with conference co-organizer Vikki Walls about this year's event. If you're serious about music as your career, Harrisburg is definitely the place to be this coming weekend!
