Once again another episode of Rock and Roll Report Radio will be hitting the airwaves of Montreal and beyond as we will be on from 10:00 – 11:00 PM EST at www.ckut.ca or CKUT 90.3 FM in the Montreal area. And I say we because tonight (July 11) I will have a very special host as Miss Shaz Millar will be co-hosting the show with me and introducing you to some amazing rock and roll. The interesting part about it is that Shaz will be in Australia while I will be in Montreal!

Looking ahead over the next few months I will be having a number of bands on the show. As a matter of fact it looks like I am booked solid to next February with an amazing array of talented musicians and bands so make sure you tune in to Rock and Roll Report Radio on the Drastic Plastic Program, second Monday of every month on CKUT 90.3 FM.

Aside

We are making a couple of changes on the look and feel here at Rock and Roll Report but not with the great content from our amazing stable of writers! So please be patient while we tweek out bits and rework our bytes to make the site an even more fun and informative place for you to get your rock and roll kicks.

Thanks!

Toronto’s Sweet Thing had a busy fall in store for fans. They have just released their second music video for “Change of Seasons” as heard on feature film ‘Easy A’ and just wrapped up a Canadian tour with Justin Nozuka.

Tune in tonight for a special edition of Rock and Roll Report Radio as I pay tribute to my dear friend Sharon Vaughn

I invite you all to tune in tonight (August 9th, 2010) from 10:00 – 11:00 PM EST for a special edition of Rock and Roll Report Radio where I will pay tribute to a dear friend and fan of The Rock and Roll Report, Sharon Vaughn.

Sharon recently lost her courageous 3 year battle with cancer and I felt it only appropriate to spend the hour playing some of her favourite songs as my special tribute to her.

If you are in Montreal you can listen at 90.3 FM. If you are outside the Montreal area you can listen online at www.ckut.ca.

As Sharon rarely missed a show I know she will be listening with her speakers cranked up to 11. I hope you can tune in as well.

Thank you.
