Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the September 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. The show is brought to you by The Altoona Curve (www.altoonacurve.com), “Everybody’s Hometown Team!”

Thanks to our guests this week, Pittsburgh area rockers the Tony Mollick Project (TMP). Group namesake Tony Mollick has been through a lot since his last visit on the program two summers ago. Last June, Tony nearly lost his life in a serious motorcycle-car accident, and spent the better part of the next year recovering from his injuries. Tony told his story, as well as how his bandmates, bassist Fuzz McGirk and drummer David Blake, kept the group going in their leader's absence. We heard two new tunes from Tony, including a song from his upcoming solo cover song album and a new TMP song; we also heard other TMP songs, plus dug into the archives to flash back to Tony's two previous projects, The Groove Junkies and One Night Stand. We also debuted new tunes from Jenny Drummey and the Small Band, Jimmy Adler and Bill Deasy. It was a fun and entertaining two hours!
