Congratulations Jesse Stewart!

Jesse has passed the auditions for Nashville Star. We're just awaiting word on her next step in the process. We're so excited for her!

Plus, Michael Hochandel wrote a great article about her in the Schenectady Gazette. Read it here.


Congratulations, Jesse and good luck on Nashville Star!

Rock on!

It's been too long!

Don't let me get ahold of something like this. I'm always losing passwords! OK. That said... A lot is going on in our Local 518 arena at 97.7 EXT.

First, congratulations to Sarah Pedinotti for settling on a new name for the band. Huh? Right. For a week they were The Raptors. Not really sure what is up, but you can read this cool interview with her to get some insight into the fun that is the Sarah Pedinotti Band.

Also, congratulations to Matthew Loiacono of The Kamikaze Hearts. He release his new solo album, "Kentucky," in April. Details on the CD release to come soon. He made this album as part of the RPM Challenge. He's running a contest for it called "Why Kentucky?" Find out more about him at either Heartstack.org, or The Kamikaze Hearts site.

More soon! Promise!
