Radio Crystal Blue and the date of the week I published the show (I use the
Sunday date)

PROGRAMMING:
NEXT SHOW will be published on or about May 1 and will be available
for about 1 year. You will hear music in several segments of top
indie/DIY/underground songwriters and bands.
ALSO: The next podcast will include more music from David Uoskkinen’s In The Pocket: Essential Songs Of Philadelphia “Sessions” album. The album contains 10 songs, all from artists with strong Philly ties. 2 songs shall be aired from this exciting concept album.


RCB Novus Ordo is a separate podcast with 6-8 songs, one each from a brand new recording. I spin the music and give you the backstory of each artist.

VISION: I’ve kept to my promise, and reworded my vision for my life and put it to digital ink and design. It’s the latest post on my website, which you can read at http://wp.me/p1FKJJ-G6
 
RCB REWIND:
RCB Novus Ordo: What is there to say about Vance Gilbert? Elements of every type of Vance song is in the one I spun this week, which actually is a little more uptempo than others. The humor, the perspective, it’s all there. Kerri Powers and that voice of hers….heard in full expression on her newest album that you’ll hear when you download or stream this podcast.
 
RCB proper: Yes you do hear The Waybacks in Segment 1. They do just a handful of shows a year now, and played at Merlefest this past weekend, along with The Steel Wheels. Carolann Solebello, The YaYas, and Karyn Oliver–they are the No Fuss And Feathers Roadshow, and you hear them in this segment, if you download or stream this podcast. Segment 2 repeats a new single by Sugar Lime Blue and another hard-hitter by The Halley DeVestern Bend. Patty Smyth from the band Scandal takes lead vocals on a new version of a classic Philly song. It actually reminds me of a few Pretenders tunes. Segments 3 and 4 run from unique songwriter-oriented material to Americana to folk. I particularly like Ben Bedford’s tune “What We Lost”, a well-written one at that.

SUBMISSION GUIDLINES
I focus on CDs as opposed to downloads, though I make exceptions in the event of albums that are digital releases only. Music must have a 2014 release date or not released otherwise before July 2013. All new albums debut on RCB Novus Ordo; on rare exception, some debut on Radio Crystal Blue proper.
I’m also interested in featuring, great compilation or soundtrack albums track-for-track, to help tell the story of those albums.
Electronic press kits) submissions can be sent via one of these companies.
