In the latest episode of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, episode 704, we dive deep into the musical journey of Craig Veltri. Join us as we explore his latest full-length acoustic concept record, “Letters to the Defendant,” delving into the raw emotions and personal experiences that inspired the album. From the struggles of alcoholism to the redemption that follows, Craig shares the intimate details of the downfall of his marriage and the subsequent housecleaning of his life. But it's not just about the personal stories; we'll also uncover Craig's musical influences, his background in the industry, and his perspective on the ever-evolving music scene in 2024. Get ready for an insightful and heartfelt conversation with a talented artist. Tune in and discover the stories behind the music on this episode of the Pennsylvania Rock Show! To turn a phrase from his song “Home Out on the Shore,” Craig Veltri is a “country/urban hybrid” In August 2015, Veltri released his first full-length album, A Million Miles to Go. Mostly autobiographical, the entirely acoustic album is a surprisingly eclectic mix in musical styles while still maintaining a pointed and direct lyrical approach. In August 2020, Veltri released his first EP, Vagabond. Produced by former Charlie Daniels Band drummer, Jack Gavin, this EP is a culmination of Veltri “cutting his teeth” in Nashville for the previous 5 years. Veltri has released 6 singles since Vagabond continuing to flex and stretch his creative range. Whether it be “Shine On”, a Beatles inspired song penned by Veltri and produced by fellow Pittsburgh native Bryan Cole, or his most recent single “Wandering Eye”, a song with a Hank Williams inspired motif co-written by Abby Hankins and produced by PT Houston of Off The Row Studios, Craig Veltri intends to never shy away from any genre of music and refuses to be pigeonholed. In November 2022, he released a video for the single “Makin' Noise on Music Row” filmed entirely on location in Nashville, TN with the help of Eli Adelman and Ten Bears Productions. His latest record, a full length, acoustic, concept record entitled “Letters to the Defendant” details the downfall of his marriage due to alcoholism, his personal housecleaning and redemption. A proud native of Pittsburgh, PA, Craig Veltri currently resides in the Steel City. He is also the host of The Craig Veltri Interview, a talk show and podcast airing on Scarfire Radio (www.scarfireradio.net) every Thursday night at 6 pm.

What The Riff?!? makes another "stab" at Halloween with these theme songs, movie and TV music, and rock songs with a bent towards the macabre. We hope you enjoy this second "Halloween" special! Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran This is the breakthrough song off Duran Duran's Rio album. It was inspired by the Big Bad Wolf in the Little Red Riding Hood story. It is also wone of the first times where video popularity drove the success of the band, with Duran Duran on constant play for the new MTV station.Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo Danny Elfman fronted this new wave band before he became famous for his work on film scores. It also appeared in the comedy film "Back to School" starring Rodney Dangerfield.This Is Halloween by Marilyn Manson Oingo Boingo wrote this track for "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and shock rocker Marilyn Manson takes on this cover.Theme from the "Harry Potter" film series The Wizarding world of Harry Potter has been an enduring franchise, and this music draws us into that world from the first few notes.Pet Sematary by The Ramones Steven King was a big fan of the Ramones, and invited the band to his place in Maine. While there Dee Dee Ramone wandered into the basement with a copy of King's "Pet Sematary" and returned an hour later with the lyrics to this song.Bad Things by Jace Everett "True Blood" is a series on HBO based on a novel called "The Southern Vampire Mysteries," and the show portrays vampires in a campy, dark comedy style. Country singer-songwriter Jace Everett provided the intro music to this series.Werewolf Bar Mitzvah by Donald Glover and Tracy Morgan A skit in the television series "30 Rock" would produce this song. Originally a 7-second clip from a skit, it was turned into a full fledged Halloween novelty song due to popular demand.Witch Doctor by David Seville The origins of this song go back to 1958, where Seville tells the story of how a guy learned to talk to girls from a witch doctor friend. It has become a well known novelty song covered by a number of artists.Devil in Disguise by Elvis Presley The King dropped this single in 1963 about a girl who uses her charm to manipulate people to get what she wants. It peaked at number 3 on the Billboard singles chart.You're Dead by Norma Tanega Singer-songwriter and experimental musician Norma Tanega was better known for writing songs for Dusty Springfield. However, this song which she penned in 1966 was picked up for use in the vampire satire "What We Do In the Shadows" in 2014.Devil Went Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band Folks, don't bet your soul against the Devil. But if you do, make sure you're the best fiddler that there has ever been. Charlie Daniels would peak at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with this song.Runnin' with the Devil by Van Halen The first album that Van Halen produced was a monster in itself, and this track was the first one on the album. It is a great introduction to the band, not only for Eddie Van Halen's guitar work, but also for David Lee Roth's screams, Michael Anthony's high harmonies, and Alex Van Halen's percussion work.
David Bowie would leave the glam rock genre of his previous albums for a more soulful sound with his ninth studio album, Young Americans. This album features blue eyed soul, or what Bowie would refer to as "plastic soul." David Bowie moved to the United States in 1974 during a time when tax concerns were driving many artists out of the UK. He was living in New York City at the time, and starting production on the album in Philadelphia where he worked with guitarist Carlos Alomar. A funk guitarist, Alomar had worked as a session musician at the Apollo Theater and would become a collaborator and band leader for Bowie over the next decade. In addition to Carlos Alomar, Bowie worked on this album with a number of artists including Robin Clark, Ava Cherry, saxophonist David Sanborn, and a new musician named Luther Vandross.He would also collaborate on this album with ex-Beatle John Lennon who was recording in New York at the same time as Bowie's recording moved there. Bowie and Lennon had met previously at a party hosted by Elizabeth Taylor. Lennon collaborated with Bowie during his "lost weekend" period.Young Americans contains elements of soul, funk, and R&B, and was a deliberate attempt to garner more success in the U.S. market. It certainly achieved this result, though critics would deliver mixed reviews. The transition from glam rock to blue-eyed soul would not be one which all fans embraced, but David Bowie would follow his own creative muse. It would not be the last time we would see a significant stylistic change from Bowie. It was nevertheless a commercial success, going to number 9 on the US albums chart, remaining on the charts for almost a year.Rob brings us this funky example of “plastic soul.” Young AmericansThe title track was recorded in Philadelphia, and hit number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, Bowie's second-highest chart success to this date. Then unknown singer Luther Vandross conceived the backing vocal arrangement. The song provides impressions of American life through the eyes of an English man. David Sanborn provides the saxophone work.Across the UniverseThis cover of the Beatles song also found collaboration with Beatles' alumnus John Lennon. Backing vocals and guitar are provided by Lennon, who considered this song a better version than his own. Critics tend to disagree, as reviews on the Bowie version were primarily negative.FascinationThis track began as a jam by Luther Vandross entitled “Funky Music (Is a Part of Me)” which was performed before the Bowie concerts in 1974. When Vandross was retained from the “Diamond Dogs” tour, the two collaborated to create the song “Fascination.” The song was an homage to the Philadelphia funk sound.FameThis single hit number 1 on the US charts, the first Bowie song to do so. Composed by Bowie, Alomar, and Lennon, the high backing “Fame” vocalizations are provided by John Lennon. Bowie would describe it as a “nasty, angry” song directed at management with which he had previous issues. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Ease On Down the Road by Consumer Rapport (from the motion picture The Wiz)A soulful take on The Wizard of Oz featured Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow. STAFF PICKS:Judy Mae by Boomer Castleman Wayne initiates the staff picks with a controversial song that went to number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics tell of a father to a 17 year-old girl who marries a woman half his age. When an affair ensures between the stepmother and the daughter, the father dies of an accident shortly thereafter. It feels like a racier version of “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.”Long Haired Country Boy by the Charlie Daniels BandBrian brings us a song about a guy with a very passive attitude about life. “I ain't asking for nobody for nuthin' that I can't get on my own. If you don't like the way I'm livin' you just leave this long-haired country boy alone.” It was off the second album from the CDB entitled “Fire on the Mountain.”When Will I Be Loved by Linda Ronstadt Bruce features Ronstadt doing a cover originally from the Everly Brothers in 1960. While the original peaked at number 8, Ronstadt's cover would go to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is a vocal trio between Ronstadt, Kenny Edwards, and Andrew Gold. Trampled Under Foot by Led Zeppelin Rob finishes the staff picks with a song John Paul Jones claims was inspired by Stevie Wonder's “Superstition.” The lyrics were inspired by blues artist Robert Johnson's “Terraplane Blues” from 1936. A Terraplane was a classic car that serves as a not-so-subtle source for sexual innuendo. It is off the band's double album, “Physical Graffiti.” COMEDY TRACK:Bertha Butt Boogie by The Jimmy Castor Bunch This funk novelty track went to number 16 on the US pop chart and number 22 on the US R&B chart.

His novelty tune "Captain Kirk's Disco Trek" led to his first serious foray into children's music and a Grammy for "Sesame Country." He has had nonstop assignments since then.Dennis has served a music director for several children's TV shows, including the PBS series "Noddy" and, most recently, "BJ's Teddy Bear Club" which airs on TBN and just earned him his second Emmy award.

The band has grown in popularity and was even nominated for a Grammy in the spoken word category for an audiobook collection of interviews with Beatles fans called, "Fab Fan Memories - The Beatles Bond."When your childhood heroes are people like Danny Kaye, Jack Benny and Jerry Lewis, you can't help but have a silly side to you. Creating and producing music, particularly children's music, allows me to be as silly and creative as I want to be. And playing in a Beatles band makes me feel like a rock star.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band is iconic. But did you know it was written about a real-life, Famous Fiddler, from the 1920's? In a rare interview, Charlie Daniels revealed he was inspired by the 1925 poem The Mountain Whippoorwill. The poet of The Mountain Whippoorwill had read a news article in a local paper gawking over a young man who came down from the poverty-stricken mountains of Georgia and blown away all the patrons at a fiddling contest at the local fair. He continued to compete, and continued to beat the best fiddlers in America with absolutely zero training and zero lessons! His name? Lowe Stokes. Lowe Stokes went on to be one of the best fiddlers in history, peaking around the 1920's and 1930's. In this Roots Music History Documentary, we dig into the Roots behind the song The Devil Went Down to Georgia and the forgotten life of Lowe Stokes. #Famous Fiddler #ROOtSMusicHistory #TheDevilWentDownToGeorgia #ThecharlieDanielsBand #music #history #historyfacts #documentary #fiddling #fiddlingcontest #competition

Brian and his family have owned https://georgesmajesticlounge.com/ (George's Majestic Lounge) on Dickson St for more than two decades. And, if that wasn't enough he purchased the https://waltonartscenter.org/amp/ (AMP) in the early 2000s and proceeded to help make Northwest Arkansas a regular stop for music acts both big and small. Brian's goal all along with the purchase of the AMP was to create, “ A small town vibe with world-class amenities!” It looks like he has done just that, attracting a lot of big names to the Northwest Corner of the State.

Brian shares the thinking and process of running a music venue here in Northwest Arkansas. It's not an easy job dealing with performance artists, but Brian has had a lot of practice taking good care of his employees and the talent that comes to the area. Learn about the origins of the AMP. For instance, the original location was the parking lot of the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville before it moved up to its current space in Rogers just off I-49, and more importantly, how Brian teamed up with one of the largest companies in the world, Walmart to expand and improve the venue.
