This isn’t really an episode, well kinda. It is a recording of an air shift I recently did as an Alumni Fundraiser for WIXQ 91.7FM, Millersville University Radio 917theville.com.
I did a radio show back in 1992, and used to play mostly local music and some alternative. This time around I play some sailing related songs, some local stuff, and just obscure stuff I love, mixed in with a few songs I used to play back in the day…..
Enjoy!
Thanks to Matt Cleveland of Occasions DJ service for the great record

Matt McAndrew


Welcome to the 9th episode of the Hootenanny Down The Hall Music Podcast featuring former Voice contestant Matt Mcandrew and California band BetaPlay. Both were on tour with The Plain White T’s recently at the Baltimore Sound Stage, and I was able to catch an interview with Tommy from BetaPlay. Unfortunately I was unable to chat with Matt but maybe some other time. I’m starting to realize that trying to interview artists at shows is a pretty difficult thing to pull off. I am also hoping that the verbal okay from Matt’s sister and tour manager Meredith doesn’t get me in hot water by posting parts of his live show. That’s why I always try to get face to face with the artists!

The Hunts


Back in June we stopped by Rams Head Live in Annapolis, MD, at the behest of a couple of French dudes who were crew on the Tall Ship L’Hermione. They were going there to “See Some Rock and Roll!”
Well, hell, we had to go at that point.
The show was opened by Annapolis local band The Presser Strings, followed by San Francisco band Panic Is Perfect, and Chesapeake, VA natives, The Hunts, a family band consisting of twin sisters and five brothers.
It was a great show where I was able to record thanks to the bands and do short interviews with both of the headliners, who were just starting a summer long national tour.

Emily Grove and her band play at Tellus 360 in Lancaster, PA in June 2015


Welcome to the 7th episode of The Hootenanny Down The Hall Music Podcast featuring Asbury Park, NJ native Singer/Songwriter Emily Grove and Lancaster, PA native Poet/Writer/Singer/Songwriter Jessica Smucker, and their respective backing bands.
Emily Grove has a recent album called “Life of a Commoner” which was produced by Jason Rubal in Harrisburg at Seventh Wave Studio’s. I caught her originally when she was touring with David Ford many moons ago. She is currently working on video projects and performing new cover songs at 5pm, eastern standard time, most days on Facebook.
Jessica Smucker has been out in the world as a musician for about the past 8 years, working with many of Lancaster’s more prominent musicians, and released an album called “Tumbling After” last September. The album was produced by Chad Kinsey at the Upper Room Studios in Lancaster, PA. Having taken a break from touring to have a baby, she is now touring once again in support of the album.

The Ogham Stones


The Ogham Stones are a Lancaster area Celtic/Irish/Traditional/Rock band that have played around the area since 2011. I was able to catch up with them before Christmas at McCleary’s Pub in Marietta, PA, and also checked out a rehearsal session, where I was able to interview the band and get some recordings of the practice. The Ogham Stones are working on some original material for an upcoming EP due out by St. Patricks Day 2015, which may include a special cover song from one of the regions favorite Roulette Girls. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!
So much thanks to the band and my buddy John Flavin, lead singer. It was great hanging out with them. You can check them out at www.reverbnation.com/theoghamstones and over at Facebook, www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ogham-Stones/148004071926345

The Sharks in 2013


Welcome to the Hootenanny Down The Hall Music Podcast, episode 5, featuring The Sharks from Lancaster, PA. The Sharks formed in the late 1970’s, made a run towards the national scene with constant touring, an MTV contest win, an Electra Records EP, and an MTV video. The band went through some changes in the late 80’s and called it quits in the early 90’s. In 1999/2000, the five most constant members got back together for a reunion show, which ended up leading to almost a decades worth of shows in and around the Lancaster/Harrisburg, Pa area. In 2009, Sam Lugar the lead singer passed away suddenly. In 2010 his son Ian joined the band in place of his father for a memorial show “Samfest” at the Chameleon Club. Since then they have gotten together three more times in four years, and hope to do it again in the future. Please Join me as I chat with Mr. Chris Smoker, Wayne Terry, Nora Seggel, Matt Ritter Aka DJ Neidermeyer, and my father Steve “Zero” Wettig about the band, its legacy and its future.

On this episode of The Hootenanny Down the Hall Music Podcast, we revisit the Basement Tapes, literally going through cassette tapes I found in the basement, this time it’s a compilation tape I put together in 1995 for my fanzine “Spastic Et Loud” which I put out in the mid nineties. Featuring bands from the area and bands I was featuring in the rag. I decided to give a little background on each band in between songs, some I know more about and some I can’t find much information on. The genre’s range from Metal to Punk, with a little activist American Indian singer/songwriter stuff in between. Jet Silver, Liquid Brick, Subsonics, Deadlove, Jessie Nighthawk, The Incoherents, Bighorn, Hammer and Tongs, Violent Society, and The Oogies are featured.
Thanks to all the bands for letting me feature their music back in the day, please feel free to check them out if you can find them!

I was a Dj at WIXQ 91.7fm from Millersville University in the spring of 1992 and had a show every Tuesday from 2-4pm called the “Age Of Ragnarock,” in which I tried to feature some local and regional bands, much like I’m hoping to do with the Podcast.
First we hear 100 Virgins “Shiver,” some blathering on by yours truly, then we hear Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy with cover of the Dead Kennedy’s “California Ubber Alles.” We hear some PSA’s and LIVE (formerly Public Affection) with a song called “Tired of Me,” The Almighty Shuhorn, a regional band from Philly, Murphy’s Law with a cover of “Ebony,” Skincrawl with “I won’t talk,” Resin with “Figurehead,” The Incoherents with “Squalor” and “Shallow,” The OOgies with “Careless,” Monkey Fears with “Lust,” and Brom Bones with a live version of “Butchers Fields.”
Keep your eyes and ears open for new episodes coming soon featuring Bighorn and other local and regional acts from the 90’s, as I dig through the basement tapes. The Sharks episode is coming up with the live show they are playing on Nov. 29th 2014 at the Village night club in Lancaster.
