In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, I got to have my mom, Jeannine do my show with me! She killed it as expected, and I am just waiting for the news that she’ll be taking my job. If you’re still unsure how to treat your mom this weekend, Cleveland has so many things to offer! You could go on a hike with mom at the Holden Arboretum. Take her to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens to see the House Plant Exhibit and visit their special Mother’s Day Boutique! Or if she likes historic architecture, consider taking her down to Akron…

We’re reaching 60 degrees today, which isn’t a hot as some of you may have wanted but it beats the rain last week. Because Wednesday means another Walnut Wednesday brought to you by the Downtown Cleveland Alliance, an initiative to bring economic growth to the city we call home! Every Wednesday food trucks line the streets around Perk Plaza for one of the largest food truck events downtown has to offer! They’ve got local musicians adding to the ambiance as well. So do something different for lunch today and support a local restaurant! Here’s the food truck lineup for today. Swensons…

Today in Alt Rewind we’re playing Mazzy Star! A song I know you’ve probably cried to, thinking about Jimmy in 9th grade who didn’t have a clue you liked him. Or maybe it makes you think of Sarah, who you dated for a year but couldn’t ever feel satisfied in your relationship. Or possibly you think of your friend, Dan who seemed like a good friend, but he kept trying to change you. It’s off her 1993 album So Tonight That I Might See, the one and only “Fade Into You”. It was composed by Hope Sandoval and produced by…

The Gathering 2023: Day 2 (Part 2) & Interview with King Falcon
Written by Brady Marks
I've been sharing with you by time spent in Las Vegas attending The Gathering which is, quite literally a gathering of radio programmers, DJs, music journalists, record labels, and, of course, up-and-coming musicians meeting to discuss the future of the industry. We learned a lot about how to make our station the best it can be and saw a ton of awesome performances from musicians we can’t wait to play for you! Night 2 was such an amazing show, but for today’s blog, I’ll be focusing on the opener. The crowd was getting amped at Backstage Bar & Billiards in…

As I mentioned on Monday, I was out last week in Las Vegas attending The Gathering which is, quite literally a gathering of radio programmers, DJs, music journalists, record labels, and, of course, up and coming musicians meeting to discuss the future of the industry. We learned a lot about how to make our station the best it can be and saw a ton of awesome performances from musicians we can’t wait to play for you! Day 2 of The Gathering did not disappoint! It was a full day of music, so I’ll touch on the first half of the…

The Downtown Cleveland Alliance hosts it every year and today is the day it finally returns! Musicians typically line the plaza, but we might have to wait for next week when the weather is a little drier. Either way, my tummy’s already growling. Check out today’s lineup.

Don’t BLINK, you might miss their new music or a chance to win tickets… Blink-182, the men, the myths, the legends. They finally reunited the original gang, and kicked off their first live performance at Coachella last week, not just headlining one weekend, but filling in last minute for Frank Ocean and saving the festival. Ss we look forward to some new music from them…just a few days ago their drummer, Travis Barker, tweeted, “Album will be finished before we leave on tour”. Seeing that their tour starts this Thursday, I am waiting NOT so patiently. We love them for…

I was out for a couple of days last week because I was attending The Gathering 2023 in Las Vegas! It’s quite literally a gathering of radio programmers, DJs, music journalists, record labels, and, of course, up and coming musicians meeting to discuss the future of the industry. We learned a lot about how to make our station the best it can be and saw a ton of awesome performances from musicians we can’t wait to play for you! I’ll be showcasing the musicians we saw all this week. But for today’s blog, let me tell you about the first…

I can get over missing Blink-182 perform at Coachella once, but I am supremely jealous I wasn’t in the crowd for their two stellar performances, since they replaced Frank Ocean for the second weekend. And since I couldn’t make it to the show, you just know I watched that live stream! Week 1 of the festival marked the band’s first performance since reuniting with Tom Delonge (Can you believe it’s almost been 10 years since he took a step back???). The setlists on Week 1 and Week 2 were about the same, but on Week 2 they showed up ready…

I don’t know if it’s something in the air or just that we’re the furthest from Covid lockdown times we’ve been, but it’s setting out to be the biggest summer for live music.

All last week AJ was giving away tickets AND Meet and Greet passes to see Michigander at the Grog Shop. The show was last night, and when I scurried into the Meet and Greet a few minutes late, our lovely winners were already hitting it off with Jason Singer (the Man, the Myth, the Legend behind Michigander). By the start of the show, we had formed a little posse. I have never seen a group of strangers just instantly become best friends. We were all having so much fun dancing and laughing the whole night, that I almost forgot we had…

The date is April 14th, 1989. It’s just after midnight in Clarksville, Tennessee, and the earth begins to shake… the moonlit clouds seemingly part in an instant as an angel descends from Heaven. She’s in the form of a newborn baby, and she is blessed with a name… Carrie Danger. This is my tribute to Carrie, who has taught me so much about being on air, staying true to yourself, loving life, and honestly, how to be a badass woman. I love this girl and hope she has the best day! She won’t be on the air today as she’s…
