Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the November 2 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 Halestorm for making the roadtrip in and again delivering a very memorable program! Band siblings/founders Lzzy and Arejay Hale, plus new members Joe Hottinger and Dave Hartley, discussed the band's rollercoaster ride over the past year, from losing members to picking up new members, hooking up with veteran producer David Ivory and manager Larry Mazer, and writing and recording new music. We heard several new Halestorm songs, including an exclusive Q94 debut of the new Halestorm original “Not Enough.” And with her trusty keyboard, Lzzy Hale sung two songs live in the studio as well! (Thanks to “Sparky the Engineer” for coming through with the right connector plug to put Lzzy's keyboard directly on air!)

Along the way, we also debuted new music from Funny Money, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Luca Brazi and Entity.
