Backyard Rock: The River City Rocker
Get Ready to Head to The Backyard
We're live and streaming 24/7 on Live365, but our official launch is scheduled for this Labor Day. Stay tuned for updates and schedule announcement as we spend this summer building The River City Rocker into the station we want it to become.
Live, Loud and a Little Ridiculous!
Never shy about being on the mic, B.P. plans to return to his roots as a radio host and entertainer on Backyard Rock. While the show he hosted twice a week on the former Rock 98.9 won't carry the same name, it will still be just as silly as it was before! Be on the lookout for some occasional drop-ins from the boss as we get ready for our Labor Day Launch.
Same Edge, New Direction
Our focus is still on the music, but we're also making room for sports on a national and local level. B.P.'s recent experience with sports media in the Jacksonville area has shown that local athletes need just as much support as local musicians. Combining these two passions into one station will be the goal as Backyard Rock materializes.
The Message Is In The Music
We're a hybrid secular and Christian Rock station with a mission to "Meet People Where They Are" and wherever they are. We offer an invitation to hear the Gospel message with no pressure or fear of rejection or negative reaction. We do like heavy music though, and some of it is pretty awesome on both sides! We choose to play tracks that have a minimal amount of coarse language and try to stay away from songs with excessive use of explicit lyrics or subject matter. We do so to foster a positive and uplifting environment that welcomes Christians, Seekers, and Non-Believers to taste and see what life like is on the other side of the pain and agony of being lost and alone in a world that cares little.
There's always room for you here in my backyard.
-B.P.
Looking For Radio Play?
We're still staying true to the message of #BeSeenInTheScene from the old days and it's our honor to support independent, local, unsigned, and new bands! Have a song you need to get out to the world? Send it to us for consideration! We ask that you e-mail high quality MP3 files (320kbps bitrate) and give us your fully produced work. No demo recordings, or poor quality audio will be accepted. We also ask that you only send us Clean/Radio Edits of your music as we do try to keep the language to a minimum. All songs will be considered for airplay, but not all will make the rotation.
