H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 show featuring hard rock and very heavy metal will air this Saturday, April 19th.

For our focus on drummers/percussionists segment, this month we’ll focus on Johnny Kelly. Johnny has played in a number of bands, the most well known would probably be Type O Negative. Recently Johnny joined “Kill Devil Hill,” and I had an opportunity to see him play and meet with him. I’ll talk more about our get together on the show.

Also we’ll be playing some of the greatest metal bands on earth. Check us out if you like metal and great drummers.

Stay safe, stay strong.

-Bill

H! Everyone,

In preparing the radio show for Saturday March 22, 2014, I had an uplifting time putting together the “new” focus on drummers segment. Dave Lombardo with Philm were February’s featured artist/artists, and I thought it went rather well.

This month, I’m going to play some great work from two legendary drummers, Jim Capaldi and Mitch Mitchell. Their legacies will live in rock history forever.

Also being played: Caliban, Skeletonwitch, DevilDriver, possibly some more Harsh Toke. Lots of Metal guys, lots of Metal.

Stay safe, stay strong,
Bill Ward

UPDATE: The March radio show has been moved to Saturday March 22. Tune in then to hear Bill and loads of Metal!

New Video: Bill Ward gives a deeper look into his art piece “Sound Shock” from his art debut (www.billwarddrumart.com). The piece reflects how his perception has been altered from years of exposure to epic frequencies.  Get a closer look at the piece here – http://billwarddrumart.com/canvas5.html

New Video: Bill discusses his art piece “Arch of Doubt” (www.billwarddrumart.com). One of Bill’s favorites in his art debut, the piece holds special meaning to Bill as you’ll hear in this video.  Get a better look at it here – http://billwarddrumart.com/canvas11.html
