Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 6 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.
Occasionally, things do not go as planned. Due to last minute problems, our scheduled guests, Electric Candy Shop, could not make the roadtrip in from the Scranton area to be on the show. However, thanks to both singer Tony Giamusso and bassist Todd Maisano for calling in and sharing their thoughts on their band, their music, live show and more. We also heard several tracks from Electric Candy Shop’s newly-released second album, “Symphony On Saturn.” We also debuted new songs from Josa Step, X-Terra, Spoonchatter, Sound Driven and Tempered Edge.
