Before he became the bass player for Donnie Iris and Cruisers in 1992, Paul Goll played in Erie bands like The Web of Sound, Anacrusis, and Real To Reel in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1970s he left Erie for Florida and toured up and down the East Coast with his band Powerglide for over a decade before returning to Erie to Play in Mr. Gone. Throughout those years, he has played with some of Erie's finest rock-and-roll musicians, and he still gets to play with his long-time friend Marty Lee in Donnie Iris's band.

The one and only Donnie Iris returns to The Morning Show to talk about his upcoming return to Pittsburgh when he'll perform at the UPMC Events Center in March 2024. Ike Taylor wants people to start respecting the Steelers for their 6-3 record.

Charlie Batch, Gene Steratore, Donnie Iris, Ike Taylor, and Billy Gardell.

Henry Lee Summer latched on to the sound of pop and rock radio in the 80s and rode that bad boy to a couple of late-decade hits, and a handful of good, heartland rock and roll albums.  But in his home state - Indiana - Summer was more than couple nice radio hits and a handful of albums. Weird that he could be, maybe? Really not. His story is like a lot of local-but-more-music heroes. Cleveland and Providence and Pittsburgh and Toronto. Artists like Donnie Iris, Kim Mitchell, John Cafferty, and Joe Grushecky.   Henry Lee Summer mined the sound of late 80's rock and roll with his own little twist, influenced by Top 40 AM radio hooks, and, in the best way, a product of live sets in the smoke and noise and chaos of a live rock and roll club. His is the sound of the Midwest. The studio recordings - most of them - shined up for presentation to the masses, and the live shows greased and gritted for the faithful. And he played great shows. Evenings that turned revival-ish. A shared act of live, loud, shakin' crowd-into-it rock and roll.  Henry Lee, well beyond most of his hit-making days, brought the goods, man. His last hit was the early 90s.  I saw him making it rock in a live setting be fantastic ten years past that.   And then he wasn't.  And now he is again. I loved seeing Henry Lee live. Here's an episode driven by a hope to share how great that act was without overselling it.  Because in the end, Henry Lee Summer had a handful of hits on the radio. Nothing more than that - unless you saw him live. Then it makes more sense: the straining-to-be-loose studio albums that never quite were roughed up enough (other than the second major label release  - "I've Got Everything") as he chased the right mix of hanging on and totally in the groove. That balance was what he harnessed on stage.   So these are my stories of discovery and the way one musician nothing much to most music fans, found a way to mean something more where he was and when he could.  Maybe this one is a little more personal than usual. I'm OK with that. I hope you are too. Enjoy the listen.   SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts Read Rob's current and archived writing at rockforwardmusic.com website: rockpopandroll.com EMAIL: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com

The great Donnie Iris just turned 80 years old and is still out there playing packed shows that totally rock in his homebase of Cleveland and Pittsburgh. To celebrate we welcome author D.X. Ferris to discuss his book The Story of Donnie Iris and the Cruisers. Part oral history, part narrative, Ferris goes through every benchmark in Donnie's career, including every track on every album with Donnie, Mark Avsec, and the rest of the band. We learn about why Ferris felt compelled to write this book and honor Donnie in this way. Plus, we have a copy to give away. Enjoy!  www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

Afternoons 3-6 on 105.9 The X Mark continues to talk Penguins to kick off the second hour, We welcome Donnie Iris to the program to talk to Mark ahead of his show in Moon this weekend We get back into the Pens and Mark talks about an article on CBS sports about the 5 things the Steelers need to do this offseason.

Val shares some of her own limericks to provide you some inspiration for the Pott of Gold contest. Donnie Iris turns the big eight-oh. Wes Uhler is live from Indianapolis for the NFL Combine and wonders how much help the Steelers can get with four of the top 80 picks in the draft this year.

HOF Steelers insider Ed Bouchette joined the show. Ed talked about how often he avoided covering the NFL Scouting Combine. Ed commented on Andy Weidl putting the draft board together for the Steelers like he did for many years with the Eagles. Ed said the owners normally don't have a ton of power in the draft, whether it be Dan Rooney or Art Rooney II, with a few exceptions. Poni asked Ed what he would do with Mitch Trubisky, who is set to be the most expensive backup QB in the league. Ed talked about the importance of re-signing Cam Sutton, but still thinks left tackle is the biggest need. Ed listed off the priorities for the Steelers heading into the off-season. Ed thinks there are too many holes on the Steelers defense to be a contender.  How important is it for the Steelers to re-sign Cam Sutton? Omar Khan said it's a top priority for the Steelers off-season. Poni said it's something that has to happen. Sutton posted one of the best numbers for passer rating against last season.  Game Time – Who is older or younger than Donnie Iris?

Is there any better way to kick off Season 4 of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast than chatting it up with rock and roll legend, Donnie Iris?! On February 28, King Cool will celebrate his 80th birthday. We thought it fitting to invite Donnie onto our podcast since the title of it sums up his current life—he is living better longer—continuing to play packed shows with his band The Cruisers, owning every square inch of the stage by performing his signature knee slides and fist pumps while hitting all the right notes on classic hit singles like, “Ah! Leah!” and “Love Is Like a Rock.” After a little prodding, we get Donnie to reveal the secret to this longevity in the world of rock and roll—a lifestyle that isn't kind to everyone. Donnie talks about the inspiration behind some of his most beloved songs and dishes on what he'll do to celebrate his milestone birthday year, which includes playing shows with fellow rock legends Foreigner and REO Speedwagon.

Larry with Jim Krenn and Sheila Hyland throw a surprise birthday party for Donnie!

Donnie Iris returns to the Palace Theater for two shows next month to celebrate his 79th birthday - it'll be his first performance in nearly 22 months! Plus, Merril Hoge takes a look at the Steelers most pertinent needs and which would be the quickest to fix in the offseason. Comedian Todd Glass is in town at the Arcade Comedy Theater for five shows starting tomorrow night through Saturday night. And Phil Bourque returns for the first time in 2022 to recap an exciting roadtrip for the Penguins ahead of Matt Murray's return to the 'burgh tomorrow night for Pens-Sens from PPG Paints Arena.

We've always wondered how the other half lives, especially those bedazzled rockers in the Hollywood Hills, maybe we should just do a Yinzer Cribs version with Donnie Iris instead! PFT Commenter mourns the firing of Urban Meyer, plus we say goodbye to our beloved Greentree abode

Although a lot of people remember Steve McConnell from his days as the drummer in The Snowmen, his music career has included stints with plenty of well-known Erie acts, including Ruby Port, ATV, Mr. Gone, and the Rhythm Method. He also played drums for Donnie Iris for a few years and was involved in the early days of Dirty Looks with Henrik Ostergaard. Steve talks about pursuing his musical passion and then later in life switching gears and entering the healthcare field. Snowmen "Crazy" video Snowmen Live

Unless you live in Ohio or Pennsylvania, you may not have heard from the great Donnie Iris for a while. Many of us fans probably even carry some regret that he wasn't a bigger star when he was active back in the 80s. Well, there's no need to worry! Donnie has been living the life for many years now, playing a few shows a year along the Rust Belt, putting out an album or two here and there, and enjoying the spoils of his labor. This was a light-hearted, funny conversation and I think you'll agree it's good to hear from Donnie again!  www.donnieiris.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

With this episode, we're cranking the power pop sound. A lot of bands fit this genre so the episode is a teaser – a primer if you will. Not everything that ever happened, but a taste of that sound. Some history, some not-so-talked about bands, and the roar of guitars bashing, sugared harmonies, and cracking drums.  We dive into some rocking rabbit holes to talk about bands and artists, and hear throwbacks to the sounds of many, including Marshall Crenshaw, Rockpile, Phil Seymour, and Donnie Iris. Cheap Trick may be the biggest of the genre, still doing their thing, playing "Surrender" and their great catalog live. The Raspberries had “Go All The Way” and are widely thought of as early power pop heroes.  Matthew Sweet did the sound better than almost anyone in the 90s.  It is a sound that I still love.  So let's go.  Turn it up.

This week we pay respects once again to the great music city of Cleveland with a local legend two-fer.  First up is keyboardist and songwriter Mark Avsec. Mark's first big break was when he joined Wild Cherry ("Play That Funky Music") in the mid-70s before then jumping to Jonah's new band Breathless for two excellent albums in the latter part of the decade. From there he forged what would be the defining musical relationship of his life when he and Donnie Iris joined forces for a run that continues to this day. He even wrote Donnie's biggist hit "Aah Leah" which reached #29 in 1980. A legal issue relating to Aah Leah inspired Mark to go to law school. He's now a copyright lawyer in Cleveland and still gigs with Donnie whenever possible.  Jonah started out in one of Cleveland's biggest draws of the early 70s, The Michael Stanley Band. He eventually wanted to try his hand running his own band and performing his own material when he went on to form Breathless and released two great albums. Unfortunately, Breathless never quite broke to a mass audience (despite opening for Kiss). Since the early 80s, Jonah has continued to record solo albums that rock most excellently. Though he may have retired to LA, he released another excellent solo album this year with Nusic.  Enjoy this conversation with a couple guys that have seen a lot and done a lot and have the scars (and killer songs) to prove it.  http://www.jonah.com.co/

Wes Bertrand and I continue our series based on Nathaniel Branden's book, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem. Today's show includes a discussion based on the sixth pillar, the Practice of Living With Integrity. Do your ideals, convictions, standards, beliefs and behavior line up? Do most people know what their ideals, convictions, standards and beliefs are? The root of self-esteem is not in accomplishment or output, but in our practices. However in school, we are only our output. WORDS AND BEHAVIORS MATCH “Integrity is the integration of ideals, convictions, standards, beliefs—and behavior. When our behavior is congruent with our professed values, when ideals and practice match, we have integrity. If they don't, we lose face in out own eyes." SUPERIORS AND AUTHORITY FIGURES untrustworthy because of incongruence Being an adult with an inconsistent boss was stressful enough "ONLY I WILL KNOW..." -dispel the idea that only the judgment of others counts -TRUTH: only mine counts when it comes to self-esteem LIVING WITH GUILT (original sin is anti-self esteem) 1. face and accept full reality, without disowning or avoidance 2. seek to understand why we did what we did 3. acknowledge to others the harm we've done, convey understanding of consequences 4. take restorative action 5. firmly commit to behaving differently in the future SELF ESTEEM isn't taught but IRRATIONAL STANDARDS ARE -religious teachings that damn pleasure, state, culture, society courage to challenge deepest assumptions of "good" -teaming living consciously with need for integrity to examine values we were taught -Practice of Integrity has inconsistencies in our lives explore this! why? -challenge: high personal standards while feeling like we're living in a moral sewer, the feeling of a lonely and heroic undertaking PRINCIPLE OF RECIPROCAL CAUSATION behaviors that generate SE are also expressions of SE practice of pillars genesprates a need for them, not work anymore (exercise or nutrition) THE SIX PILLARS OF SELF-ESTEEM 1. The Practice of Living Consciously 2. The Practice of Self-Acceptance 3. The Practice of Self-Responsibility 4. The Practice of Self-Assertiveness 5. The Practice of Living Purposefully 6. The Practice of Personal Integrity Questions to answer in this series: what is self-esteem? why is it important? what can we do to raise self-esteem? what role do others play in our self-esteem?

Donnie Iris had a monster hit in 1981 with “Ah! Leah!.” Now’s he’s just released his first-ever holiday-themed record, “Ah! Leluiah!” One of the disc’s highlights is a take on Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” in which Iris overdubbed every single vocal part himself – a total of 81 Donnie’s on that single track! We also chat with him about his new venture King Cool Light beer.

Thursday night marked the 31th anniversary of John Lennon’s death. We pay tribute to one of the most influential musicians in the history of music through a special 2-hour edition of Icon Fetch. The show will feature live calls from listeners and recorded interviews with a wide array of musicians who were affected by Lennon’s talent. Among the guests are May Pang, who was Lennon’s girlfriend during the year and a half “Lost Weekend;” Delbert McClinton, who taught Lennon how to play the harmonica in the early days of the Beatles; and Tommy James, Gary Wright and Wally Bryson of the Raspberries, who all had a chance to meet Lennon during his lifetime.Other artists include Grammy winners Shelby Lynne and David Lanz; rockers Dwight Twilley and Donnie Iris; melodic songwriters Marshall Crenshaw and Jason Falkner; and underground veterans Peter Case and Steve Wynn. Several authors who have written recent books about the singer, including Robert Rodriguez, Ken Sharp and Keith Elliot Greenberg, will also weigh in with their thoughts.

Donnie Iris - Ah! Leah! Yes, it's totally cheesy, but whenever I hear it, it sends me back to 1981, when I finally moved back to the states from Guam. I had just settled in a duplex in OB (That's Ocean Beach, and I still call it that. I also have an OB decal on my car window to this day.), and I was in radio heaven. After four years living in a place that had one decent radio station, and one so-so backup, I had plenty of choice. There were a few good stations in San Diego, and if I tweaked my antenna just right, I could occasionally pull in KROQ or KLOS from the LA area. I'm relatively certain this song got airplay on those stations, as well as those that played Top 40 songs. A little factoid about the song: Donnie Iris, who can't stop his burning desire for Leah, was a member of the funk-rock band Wild Cherry. Remember Play That Funky Music, White Boy? He was also a member of The Jaggerz, and wrote a hit song for them, The Rapper. Donnie is still around, too, and performs with Donnie Iris and The Cruisers, mostly near his home in western Pennsylvania.
