H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 Christmas show will air on 12/10/16, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time.  The Christmas show at Rock 50 respectfully highlights songs that are heartfelt, and we recognize that the holidays can be stressful and depressing for many.   It’s not a “ho ho ho” show. We’ll play mostly softer rock songs with a Metal segue.  Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Type O Negative, Yes, U2 and more great bands.  For this show, it’s melancholy, sad, uplifting, and I hope you’ll hear something you like.

We start back in January 2017 with our Metal shows.

Stay safe stay strong. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Rock forever and ever,
Bill

H! Everyone,

Our Armistice/Remembrance show will air on November 12th, 2016 at Rock 50.  We’ll be honoring all those who have suffered in war.   The loss, carnage and devastation war brings to us all will be remembered.  We try to make the show uplifting even though it’s a solemn time.  We’ll also have a dedication for the November 13th Paris attack of 2015.  We’ll also play songs for the loss incurred in the terrorist attacks of 2016.   Please join us if you can.

Stay safe.  Stay strong forever and ever.

H! Everyone,

Our next radio show airs on Saturday, September 17, 2016 starting at 11:00 AM and ending at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. The show will be our 9/11 show dedicated to those whose lives were lost, families who still grieve; to the survivors, and the incredible police and fire services who dedicated themselves to saving others.  We’ll be playing some Metal, Hard Rock and a little bit of everything. “Lift you up music” wall-to-wall.  Never to be forgotten, 9/11 will always be honored here at Rock 50.

Stay safe and rock forever and ever.

H! Everyone,

Our next Rock 50 radio show airs Saturday, August 13th, 2016 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. In keeping with the Rock 50 July summer show theme, we’ll play one hour of Metal and Hard Rock dedicated to the fans at the summer Rock shows and the bands out there touring.

In the final hour of our show, equally dedicated to lovers of great music, we’ll play classic, everlasting songs that have prevailed through the best and worst of times: Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, bands that got us through the Sixties and beyond, who are still relevant today.

Here is some video from the Rock 50 show from May 28th.  It contains tributes to Nick Menza & Prince, as well as talk about Dave Lombardo & Dead Cross.
