Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 23 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 in-studio guests this week, Bleech, for a fun two hours! We got acquainted with this Philipsburg-based power trio, and heard numerous tracks from their first CD, "Faded Memories." And the phone lines were jammed all evening as listeners called in to win copies of the album.
Along the way, we premiered new music from Wiskerbisket, Soundrive, Skell, and Free Kawfee.
