Announcements and reviews about new music
The November 2015 CLASSIC ROCK magazine made a passing reference to a group called Babymetal. A letter to their COMMUICATION BREAKDOWN page peaked my interest with the following statement: ” If Babymetal is the future of rock, I wanna be a neanderthal.” With that said, I checked around. My first thought was, “What if […]
National Public Radio has a series called ‘Tiny Desk Concerts’ posted on the internet and they are a source of some interesting insights into musicians from a broad spectrum of genres. The concept is a bit strange: invite a musician to perform in an office and film it as a live, interactive interview. I first […]
Here are some photos taken from the Singing Hills stage (located up hill and to the west of the main stage in front of the chalet – the Peace Hill stage) taken on Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29, 2015.
The continuing tale of the Doley Brothers! If you are keeping score. . . Lachy Doley had sent WOAS an email out of the blue in the spring of 2015 asking if we would be interested in previewing the new single off his new CD Conviction. Naturally, I said yes and we engaged in some […]
Items of interest we are just passing along in case you missed them: An Update from Lucius: Well hello there, It’s been difficult to keep this under wraps but finally we’ve revealed the big news: our brand new second album Good Grief will be released March 11. Good Grief was produced by Shawn Everett and us with Bob Ezrin […]
I like Weird Al Yankovic. I like his parodies, his sense of humor, and his accordion playing. He seems to be the kind of guy you could sit down and talk to. With that said, I would really like to meet the guys in his band because they are able to take what Al does […]
Some time ago I mentioned one of our ‘golden nugget’ moments at WOAS-FM occurred when Australian Hammond B-3 wizard Lachy Doley dropped us a line announcing the release of his newest CD Conviction. Subsequent research lead to another happy accident when I discovered that Lachy has a keyboard playing brother named Clayton, a fact confirmed […]
Born on Long Island, NY on September 19, 1981, Scott Bradlee was the perfect age to be heavily influenced by the music produced in and around that decade. This leads one to believe that he may have been inspired by the post-disco period, the emerging hair metal scene, or even grunge. No, Bradlee fell […]
Wonderful! The new Rusty Wright Band CD Wonder Man is wonderful! When they last visited Upper Michigan for two performances at the Ontonagon Theater for the Performing Arts in March of 2014, they were promoting their last release This, That, and the Other Thing. A wonderful CD in its’ own right, TT&OT was recorded with […]
One of the things I absolutely love about working at WOAS-FM is finding golden nuggets. No, I have that backwards: I absolutely love when a golden nugget finds us. We get promotional CDs and information from bands and artists all the time. We make it a point to play the music they send us and […]
