Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the December 18 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 Fat Vinny and Randy of Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys (http://www.angelfire.com/blues2/fatvinny/), making their annual pre-holiday visit to the program this week. Vinny and Randy updated us on the latest Wiseguys happenings, and we heard several tracks from the group’s new third album, Tight Play. We also provided information on how three lucky listeners can win copies of the new CD. We also discussed Fat Vinny’s new solo acoustic show, and heard a song he recorded recently. In addition, we reviewed the Tony Mollick Project’s debut album, Blues Catharsis, in “The Professor’s CD Corner” (the review can be viewed on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com). And with Christmas just a week away, we played several Christmas numbers from local and regional artists.
