Playlist Update
Thanks to everybody that listened to our live broadcasts during The Blizzard of 2007. We had a blast. The eyewitness blizzard reports from our intrepid Weaterbabe were definitely the highlight of the broadcasts. It's pretty unbelievable how many fans she has.
We are contemplating doing a weekly live broadcast of two hours based upon a theme of some sort. Being free form, the theme could be based upon just about anything. We'll post more information when we get it all figured out.
The Sound Cellar's playlist has just been updated with a bunch of great music. From Herb Alpert to The Legendary Stardust Cowboy and tracks from John Hammond's new album, "Push Comes To Shove," we're playing some great tunes and rarities. Check it out.
Thanks.
We Are Broadcasting Live Again Today!
The Sound Cellar is broadcasting live from the aftermath of The Blizzard of 2007. Tune in to hear some fab tunes. We're playing it straight today, no more silliness, maybe...
BTW, my good friend Kip checked in and he is right, it was The Blizzard of 1978, not 1977...he should know; he was my eyewitness weather reporter and a disc jockey at WEAX for The Blizzard of 1978.

The Blizzard of 2007
The Sound Cellar will be broadcasting live from the Blizzard of 2007 in central Indiana.Thirty years ago, in the Blizzard of 1977, I was on the air for 36 straight hours at WEAX at Tri State Univetsity in Angola, Indiana, a record that still stands to this day. So, in "honor" of that feat and since we are officially having a blizzard today, we're going live.If you get disconnected from the broadcast, please reconnect. For many different reasons, mostly internet stream reliability, live broadcasts can be interrupted.Send emails with requests to:the_sound_cellar@indy.netThanks!
John Hammond - Featured Artist for February
There's nothing like listening to John Hammond to take the chill off of a cold winter's night. And, John's new album, "Push Comes to Shove," produced by G. Love and John's wife Marla, will melt the frost right off the window.John is one of our favorite artists here at The Sound Cellar. We've been spellbound by his blues since the first day we dropped a needle on his album "Big City Blues." We haven't been the same since we first witnessed a live performance of John playing his timeless blues. John Hammond is a treasure. He is the consummate gentleman troubadour traveling the world spreading the gospel of the blues to all who are willing to lend an ear and take his message to heart. The world is a better place thanks to all of the years the John has been preaching his blues and by the looks of things, he's not going to be slowing down any time soon.After performing this past summer at his alma mater Antioch College, we had chance to chat with him about his new album where he mentioned that G. Love was producing it. He was visibly excited about the sessions and very pleased with the resulting recordings. It's easy to understand his excitement. "Push Comes to Shove" stands among the best work of his career, and if you know anything of John's extraordinary career, that's making a bold statement.The Sound Cellar will be featuring as much John Hammond music as the Digital Millenium Copyright Act will allow. All month we'll be playing cuts from "Push Comes to Shove" and more from John's expansive catalog. And, the playlist will be taking on a decidedly more bluesy feel as we do our part to spread the gospel of the blues this February.
