As part of the Robin's Nest's summer series celebrating legendary bands of the ’60s and ’70s still going strong after more than five decades, Rockin' Robin will be joined by Roger Earl, founding drummer of Foghat and former drummer for Savoy Brown.

Roger has been the one constant member of Foghat for more than 50 years, and he’ll stop by the WUSB studios between dates on the band’s busy touring schedule.

Join us Friday, August 21 from 2–3 p.m.

WUSB’s Sunday Street Series welcomes legendary blues guitarist, singer and songwriter Rory Block to The Long Island Museum on Sunday, October 4 at 5 p.m.

Known for her powerful, authentic interpretations of traditional country blues—as well as her own original compositions—Block has built a celebrated career carrying the music’s rich traditions forward for new generations of listeners.

Details:

This Thursday at 4 p.m., join Captain Phil’s Planet for a special conversation with Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery as they preview their new collaborative album, The Roaring Waves.

Eight years in the making, the album brings the two acclaimed guitarists together for something Hackett describes as less traditionally progressive and more “cinematic” and atmospheric.

The project came together gradually between touring and other commitments, with sessions at the Racket Club and their home studios. Rothery describes the process as refreshingly old-school—two friends getting together, playing and seeing where the music takes them.

Hear more about The Roaring Waves this Thursday at 4 p.m. on Captain Phil’s Planet.

WUSB is live at the Great South Bay Music Festival this weekend!

Find us near the Jambalaya Stage on Saturday and Sunday, July 25 and 26. Stop by and say hello if you’re attending!

We’ll also be broadcasting live from the festival on Saturday night from 7–9:30 p.m. Tune in at 90.1 FM, 107.3 FM, or listen online at wusb.fm.

On Wednesday, July 1 Paul Newland and his sometime collaborator, Mr. Edison will devote Suburban Hymns to songs of summer.

Happy songs, sad songs, hot songs, humid songs, sticky songs, sweaty songs and hopefully some songs to cool you down a bit before things get too out of hand.

So grab a cool beverage and huddle near your speakers on July 1, between 2:00 and 5:00 pm. before Democracy Now! gets you hot and bothered again.

While they’re on a break from the Happy Together Tour, two legendary voices of the ’60s join The Robin's Nest for special conversations.

Bob Cowsill

Rockin Robin welcomes Bob Cowsill, singer, guitarist, and songwriter from the legendary family band The Cowsills. One of the most successful pop groups of the late ’60s, The Cowsills helped inspire the creation of The Partridge Family TV show.

Another legend and a true part of the soundtrack of our lives, Gary Puckett is one of the most recognizable voices of the ’60s and the lead vocalist of Gary Puckett & The Union Gap.
