Nostalgia Reloaded
Nothing embodies the rock-n-roll spirit like the great American road trip. Whether charting undiscovered highways or just getting the hell out of Dodge; turn up the Radio, thunder down a stretch of open road and watch your troubles disappear in the rearview mirror.
Eck McCanless (guitar/vocals), Jon Baughman (upright bass), and Mark Murphy (drums) bring the energy and vibe of an epic road trip to audiences as The Radio. Set lists include curated covers and fine-tuned originals, taking listeners on a joyride to favorite haunts and destinations unknown.
The band deftly tunes the Radio dial, picking up phantom stations broadcasting roots rock, Americana, traditional country/western, and soul. And like the best road trip music, these songs make you want to boogie down the road and onto the nearest dance floor.
