THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Featured Artists

As I've said before, I approach this daily blog the same way I approach the weekly This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl:  I approach them as if there were an audience.  While the combined audience of Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) and TIRnRR is small in number, it's high in spirit (and occasionally high on spirits).  

So, if TIRnRR were important, it would also be important to keep ongoing track of our Featured Artists.  I've been doing that on Facebook, and it occurs to me that I should be doing that here, as well.  More Featured Acts to come in future weeks!



This is a (presumably) complete list of all performers that have ever been a Featured Artist on THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO with Dana & Carl.   When we have a Featured Artist, that artist is played at least once per set in that week's show, which generally means a minimum of eight or nine tracks in a three-hour show (and often more than that).  Our first Featured Artist was The Kinks, who remain the only act to ever take over an entire episode of TIRnRR; in fact, we have now done TWO all-Kinks shows.  This list will continue to expand as we program more Featured Acts on future shows.
