local bands

Musicians love to ingest two things more than anything else: Of course, music of all varieties, and right behind that (also of all varieties) is FOOD! Well, maybe there's a couple of other things music makers dig, BUT now the only thing to figure out is when and where!

Robert Channing has been doing great on America's Got Talent and Greeley Ford and fellow Classified company are making a comeback on the Stanely stage for this year's Boilermaker, but get this... It was just announced that the two of them are actually going to be onstage TOGETHER

Bob Seward, local bar owner, hockey buff and the most rabid Red Sox fan you will ever meet stopped by today to talk about a benefit he's having at one of his clubs, Shots on Varick Street

Tucked inside an old church on Genesee St. lives a professional caliber recording studio that has seen countless national acts come through it's doors.

We haven't heard from Greeley Ford since he practically kicked off our 50 Musicians in 50 Days series back in January. Now he's back and with as he puts it, a VENGEANCE!

As cover musicians we can make you feel absolutely amazing (or maybe it's the alcohol) simply by playing a song in front of you that you'd only previously heard on the radio, not to mention that you can get that high for far less than you'd pay to see the actual artists

Just yesterday social media and new outlets were a blur over the fact that a local musician (who just so happens to be a volunteer firefighter too) had pulled two dogs out of a burning building. Now we've got Gary Johnson and the other three original members of Dashboard Nixon in studio

Last month we had Ceili Rain's Bob Halligan on the show sharing how the band got started and why it's been so successful for the last couple of decades. A couple weeks after our conversation, Bob and the band were featured on WCNY for their 'Artifex' show

Although it's over now, we spent two straight months honoring local musicians and while we did, we found ourselves honoring two of them posthumously and now in as many months, we've lost a third musician

Well we're finally here, I'm posting about the final guest musician for the 50 Musicians in 50 Days. Even though I'm kinda bummed that this whole series is over, that was only after the great time I had with Blaine Holcomb of the Fulton Chain Gang

This snowbird digs the sunnier skies in Florida, but after spending three decades here in the weather-afflicted Mohawk Valley establishing himself as one of our kings of blues, Midnite Mike can't help but always make his way back!

We've highlighted a few young guns on this station so far that are the future, if not already the present of our Utica music scene and next up, representing the New Hartford Spartans is Adam Manion, axe-man for the band Glen Street!
