This has been an unbelievable heatwave!  So Bill decided to keep the summer theme and bring to you original songs from some of our outstanding concerts.

This week’s show brings us to the Medford Fireworks where we recorded a fantastic show with No Commitment.  It will feature one of the original songs out of many they performed that evening.

Going back to last year’s anniversary show, we have an original from Dr. Lou and the Privileged Few.  You’ll be seeing more of them in the next few weeks since we just taped them this past week at the “Rock Out Hunger” food drive in Burlington Twp.

Then onto last year at Hollystock.  The Genies sounded incredible under a tarp in the pouring rain.  The rain had shorted out the PA system, but they didn’t let that stop them.  And I am so glad I braved the rain to catch their performance!

Last year at Florence’s July 4th Celebration we caught Tommy Conwell, backed up by Throddle, performing for a very eager audience.  A day of 100 degree heat and then a thunderstorm, but his fans waited through all that to catch the terrific show he gave them that evening.

We have an encore presentation of Bill & Friends from this year’s Croft Farm Rockfest ’13.  He just likes to remind everyone “Do not drink & drive!”

Our July 27 show will include all-new footage from recent events!

Two events coming up this Sunday and next Saturday:

For our country music fans, you can enjoy our producer Bill singing harmonies and playing the keys with The Trump Boyz, Sunday, July 21, 7:00 – 8:30 PM at Hainesport Concert in the Park, Marne Highway, 1 Hainesport Center, Hainesport, NJ., next to the Muncipal Bldg., in the Gazebo.  Bring a blanket or lawn chairs and enjoy the great music and the beautiful park.

Then on Saturday, July 27, one more chance to catch The Trump Boyz, with Bill, at the Pine Barrens Festival, 520 Medford Lakes Rd., Tabernacle, NJ.  This is a great event.  A full carnival, plenty of food, a Beer Garden, 50/50’s.  Probably an all day event, but The Trump Boyz go on at 9:00 PM.  Info 609-268-8383.

Our new sponsor, Woodstock Trading Company, is hosting an Incense Lecture on July 26th and an Artisan Craft Show on July 27th, with music by Cover This Band.  Stop on by and check out all the great merchandise they have to offer!

More upcoming events in next week’s blast, which will include the August date for Dr. Lou’s concert at Burlington Center Mall.

Hope everyone can keep cool and enjoy this week’s show!

Our June 22 MIDNIGHT show consists entirely of Croft Farm Rockfest footage: original songs by No Commitment, Dr. Lou & the Privileged Few, The Count Josephine Band and Volt.

Tune in on June 29 at MIDNIGHT for Rockfest performances by If All Else Fails, The Defused, Lore Constantine and Bill O’Brien & Friends playing “Arrive Alive.” This is Bill’s original song, and his Rockfest performance was backed up by Dr. Lou, Angel Casiano and John Moceri.

Next week I’ll have some upcoming events IMT will be attending over the summer.  We’ll let you know what events are ahead.  You just may have some free time and would like to be a part of a taping or two.

Remember to thank our sponsors for their generous support! Support them as a “thank you” for their contributions to keeping local original music on TV!

Now that our anniversary concert is a wonderful memory, IMT should be returning to a normal routine.  At least as normal as it can get for summer.

I want to thank all of the fantastic bands that performed at the concert.  Thank you to No Commitment,

If All Else Fails, The Defused, Volt, Dr. Lou & the Privileged Few, The Count Josephine Band and Lore Constantine.  You all did an incredible job!  And thank you to Cherry Hill Township for supplying the venue.  Such a beautiful place for a concert!

I would also like to thank Angel Casiano and John Carr for singing the National Anthem with Bill.  Thanks to Angel, Lou Pica and John Moceri for backing up Bill on his original “Arrive Alive.”

And special, special thanks to John Carr for bringing the backline and PA, plus setting up the bands the whole day.  John you are the best!  Footage of the day will begin airing next Saturday.  Of course, on IMT we can only air the original music.

I’m sorry for anyone who did not attend the concert, because you missed out on all the remarkably entertaining cover songs all the bands rocked out on that day.  You’ll only be able to enjoy the originals that IMT will present on the next few shows.

Next concert, make sure to come out and listen to great bands performing a collective of classic rock, in addition to their original songs.

Tonight’s show features The Black Feathers from our taping in early spring at Dr. Lou’s Place.  Because of so many requests, Artisan has returned with their most talked about original.  Then from a fundraiser held at The Coastline, a song from Danny & the Juniors and another from Blue Heather.

Next week IMT will begin the airing of Croft Farm Rockfest footage.  The bands will be listed in next week’s blast.  I don’t want to forget to thank our concert sponsors.  Thank you to ‘mom’ from Woodstock Trading Company, our newest sponsor.  Stop in and check out all the great merchandise.  I know you will love this place!

One of our past sponsors returned, Qwik Fix Jewelry Repair.  Kerry, thanks for coming back to help make this concert possible!  Dr. Lou’s Place has been with us from the start.  Thank you Lou for your support and performing at the show.  Good Luck with your new Wing Shop at Burlington Center Mall!

And last, but not least, the biggest thanks goes to Mark Oberstaedt.  Mark, we could never have pulled this off without you. Our deepest gratitude for everything you did to make this a wonderful project on which to work.  And thanks to No Commitment for allowing Bill to sing “Smoke on the Water” with you that day.  Thank you Mark for the suggestion!

Hope you all enjoy the upcoming shows! We’ll be posting more photos of the Rockfest soon, courtesy of Craig Kupper and Cherry Hill Patch!

Despite all of yesterday’s rain, Croft Farm is ready for us, so the concert will begin as scheduled at 2 PM TODAY!

This afternoon, all your favorite bands will take this stage and rock Cherry Hill! We hope you’re as excited as we are to celebrate our 19th anniversary with a day of music. We’re thrilled that yesterday’s rain didn’t get in the way of today’s plans for a fun day of music.

Due to some technical problems with our edit system, we will be rerunning the June 1 show this week.  We apologize for this problem. It’ll be a concert recap with music by No Commitment and Volt!

The show that should have run June 8 will run June 15, featuring The Black Feathers from England.  Then from a fundraiser we taped at the Coastline several years ago, we will present a song from Blue Heather.  The same evening, Danny & the Juniors performed also.  We have that song that also features Angel Casiano, who we did not know at the time.  How cool it is that Angel now works with us!

We are also featuring a song from Artisan, for which we’ve had many accolades.  So, for their many fans, here it is again!

We’re in the middle of our first heatwave and it isn’t even officially summer yet!  I guess the weather is getting us ready for our first concert of the summer season, our 19th anniversary concert next Saturday, June 8.

This week’s show will also prepare everyone for the upcoming concert.  Two of our young bands, No Commitment and Volt have songs featured on the show to get everyone in the mood for this concert.  Bill finishes up his interview with Mayor Chuck Cahn and then interviews Patrick Oberstaedt, lead guitarist of No Commitment.  A very informative as well as entertaining show.

Come on out to the 19th anniversary concert, Croft Farm Rockfest, at Croft Farm in Cherry Hill, NJ.  Take Route 70 to Brace Road,  Come down two traffic lights and make a right onto Borton Mill Road.  Parking will be in the lot to the left, then a short walk up the road to the concert area.  A full day of music beginning at 2 pm from No Commitment, If All Else Fails, The Defused, Volt, Dr. Lou & the Privileged Few, The Count Josephine Band, Lore Constantine, plus our producer Bill with some of his friends.  Food and vendors on site.  Pets, blankets and chairs welcome.  Come out and enjoy!

Then after a day of outside music, tune in to IMT at midnight featuring another song from our English friends The Black Feathers and several other surprises.

We’re busy tying up all the loose ends for the concert, so I hope you tune in for this week’s IMT and then we see you next Saturday at Croft Farm! As always, we couldn’t do our TV show or concert without our sponsors, so be sure to patronize their businesses and thank them for helping bring original music to TV in the Delaware Valley!

Enjoy the weekend!

Tune in on May 25 at MIDNIGHT for original music by If All Else Fails and Mike and Flora, both taped at our Shamrock Pub Acoustic Road Show! There’s also a concept video by Angel Casiano and part 2 of our interview with the Cherry Hill mayor.

Our June 1 MIDNIGHT SHOW will get you in the mood for our Anniversary Concert! We’ll feature songs by No Commitment and Volt as well as interviews with the mayor of Cherry Hill and No Commitment’s lead guitarist, Patrick.
