Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the December 11 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, Rhyne McCormick, and his wife for making the roadtrip through snowy conditions from Lewistown to be on this week’s program. We reacquainted our listening audience with Rhyne, and heard numerous tracks from his latest CD, Soul Dust; several lucky listeners also called in to win copies of the disc. Rhyne also performed three songs live on the air, and enlightened us about his career, songwriting process and more. We also updated Local Music News. It was a very entertaining and insightful two hours.
Here is this week’s playlist:

THE FLAME SKY – “The Price You Pay”
ROADKILL – “Santa Is a Big Fat Jerk”

In Local Music News…
Eastern PA-based party band juggernaut UUU has announced that they are hanging it up. According to a report in the December issue of Pennsylvania Musician, the group had gradually lost the desire to perform week in and week out; and decided to ride out their tenure through their tenth anniversary, celebrated last month, before calling it a day.
The State College-based party band Boost is also calling it a day. The group performed their final State College area show last weekend, and is playing out the month with several shows in Ohio. Two Boost members, bassist Bart Hipp and drummer Jim Logrando, are continuing to perform in another band project, Cool Ethan.
Flight 19 guitarist John McKelvey is reportedly doing well and on the way to a full recovery from a mild heart attack suffered before Thanksgiving. Former Electric Blue and current Matt Wagner Band guitarist Jimmy Tangeman has been filling in on guitar with Flight 19 while John recuperates.
A holiday season benefit concert will take place in the Johnstown area next weekend. The St. Vincent De Paul Family Kitchen Benefit Concert will take place next Saturday evening starting at 9:30 at Katie’s Place, formerly Dougherty’s “Terra” Tory, in Johnstown.
