LOCAL RECORDING ARTISTS “ON THESE AIRWAVES” RELEASE DEBUT CD

On These Airwaves Band from Myrtle Beach

 

MYRTLE BEACH, SC:  The Myrtle Beach music scene receives another boost as locally based On These Airwaves release their first studio recording “Sunset Provisions” on Saturday, July 11, with a free concert on the main stage at Broadway at the Beach’s Celebrity Square.   Tom Yoder, guitar legend, recording artist and former local resident, will open for On These Airwaves, taking the stage at 8:00 p.m.  

Band founder Eric Long, calls the project, “A realization of the entire band’s dream to put together a ‘thinking man’s album’.  All of us are long-time musicians, playing for the love of playing, but also wanting to ‘scratch the recording itch’.  We want to be at the vanguard of promoting independent artists along the coast of South Carolina.  Top quality talent, production, technology and opportunities are right here in our own back yard”. 

The band’s website http://ontheseairwaves.com describes their signature sound as, “a musical brew consisting of vintage spices – Beatles and Byrds; classic herbs – Floyd and REM; and modern garnish – Radiohead and Elbow.  Lush harmonies mask a deeper, sometimes introspective musical theme.  OTA’s “Sunset Provisions” is a record of life.  From the joy and fear of childhood to the fear and joy of being an adult,”

 “The bands website is to the right under Myrtle Beach.  I believe these guys have got it!!!!”  I hope to make it to the concert………

It Gets Wild in Myrtle Beach!

Recently there was an introduction on tv that I can’t remember where it was…..  but it was about the wild life park here in Myrtle Beach.  WOW, I didn’t know.   Well, I haven’t seen it yet; but, I plan to take my granddaughter there this week.  I’ve put the link to the right!

Myrtle Beach Safari!

BabyBoomer Radio?

I can remember when I moved to Myrtle Beach from Columbia in 1972; and, shortly, thereafter, one of my friends started to work at WKZQ FM radio.  FM radio station was a new thing.  But definitely better than an AM station.  Well, look what’s happened…… QRockRadio, the clock has turned back.  If you can remember the 70s, 80s in Myrtle Beach, you’ll remember this group of guys…. http://qrockradio.com/  

I’ve decided to add this to my Myrtle Beach links.  So check in anytime to listen and to see what’s happening in Myrtle Beach BabyBoomer World!

My friend later hired me to work for their AM station WTGR “Tiger” radio.  My friend now is the publisher for “Sassy” Magazine and many other local publications.
