Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season!

On this week’s show, The Union has returned performing a Mike Riley song.  Mike owns Riley General Contracting (one of our sponsors) and has been helping support IMT for awhile now.  Thank you Mike for everything you do for us and the show!  Not only are you a gifted musician & songwriter, but a gifted carpentry artisan as well!

We also have a new song from Volt who we met at Hollystock this past summer.  We’ve had many requests for their return.  So here they are from a show taped just a week or so ago from our sponsor Dr. Lou’s Place.

Continuing this 2nd show from our Christmas trilogy, we’re featuring a Christmas song by Cathy Gulden from Delaware.  Thank you Rob for finding her for us!  And as a special Christmas treat, Blue Heather teams up with Dr. Lou & the Privileged Few for a rockin’ Christmas tune.

Next week we’ll bring you new songs from Nicki Sbaffoni and Kenn Kweder.  Then we’ll wrap up the Christmas trilogy with a couple of songs featuring Louise Mandrell.  Louise is the middle of the three Mandrell Sisters.  We were requested to tape the Rowan University Winter Concert, at which Louise was the special guest.  She is a wonderful entertainer and we are so very happy we were given permission to share part of her evening’s performance with you all.  Thank you Dr. Pastin, Rowan University and all the musicians and singers that made the concert such a wonderful experience that evening.

Well, enjoy the shows we’ve worked so hard to bring to you. And we couldn’t do it without the support of our wonderful sponsors–so make sure you thank them for keeping original music on TV in the Delaware Valley!

All of us at IMT wish everyone a wonderful, prosperous & Happy New Year!

Inside Music Today: August 25 Show

On By GretchenIn Room Two ProductionsLeave a comment

We decided to wrap up this exciting summer with a little from each of the events we covered the last three months.  Our August 25 show begins with Blue Heather and Dan Casper from our Anniversary Concert in June.  Moving on to July 4th, one more song from Tommy Conwell, with back-up by Throddle. It was the hottest day of the summer, but a nice evening of entertainment after the storm.  Then we’re back to the rains of Hollystock, with one more song from Volt and the final song we were able to record that day from The Late Ancients.  All these events happened right here in Burlington County.  Pretty cool!  Watch our August 25 show now on Youtube!

September 1st begins our new fall season and adds a new interview segment to the show.  We are trying our best to bring information about the Philadelphia music business to our artists.  In the debut interview, Bill and Dr. Lou discuss their experience at a meeting of the Philadelphia Recording Community.

Following the interview, we’re featuring Glenn Basham and RT Funk Band, recorded at Dr. Lou’s Place just a week ago.  Last Sunday we were at Hebe Music, where we caught John Cantamessa, this time with The Main Street Band.  What a great, tight sound!

After a “long time, no see,” we got to see our old friend Dave Weber again.  He came down to Hebe‘s to record with Donna Delany.  He’s better than ever, especially in this performance with Donna.  Dave, so wonderful to see you again!

To anyone who may have made the trip to Hollystock last Saturday, I’m sure you are still drying out as we are.  It was such a shame the weather decided to keep to the weather of the original Woodstock.  Hollystock was a wonderfully-planned event, only to be slightly spoiled by the off and on downpours all day.

We taped as much as we could, until the tents we were under could no longer hold back the deluge.  Due to the sensitivity of the cameras to water, we were forced to leave.  But our hats are off to Main Street Mt. Holly for a well-planned and well-run event.  Thanks for the memory!

On to this week’s show.  We are lucky to have another song from Tommy Conwell at the Florence Patriotic Day.  Thanks to Throddle for being his back-up band that evening.  A job well done!

We return to the Record Collector for Lisa Bouchelle & Bob Burger.  Then it’s back in time for a song from Dave Weber.  That song, only one week old, was recorded right on our couch during an interview for the original IMT.  Talk about talent!  We’re looking forward to recording Dave’s new songs in a few weeks!  Can’t wait to see him again!  Also from the early days,  we have Sic Vikki and LeCompt.  This show has quite a line-up of talent!

Enjoy the show on YouTube!

Next week we’re taking you to our day at Hollystock featuring Volt, Liquid Island and The Escape Plan, from the Hebe Music Stage, and a song from The Genies, from the Blue Light Studio Stage.  I was able to capture The Genies playing acoustically under the tent, with the audience huddling beneath.  Even though the video doesn’t show it, it was pouring all around us.  I know because the water was running down my back off the edge of the tent!  So if the video is a little rough, please understand my challenge.

I hope you all tune in and check out this week’s line-up!  Enjoy this first weekend in August!

If anyone is in the mood for plenty of music, Hollystock is the place to be today.  With four stages in downtown Mt. Holly, you’re sure to find a band you love.  After a day of live music, tune in to our show at midnight and enjoy second songs from The Poet-Lariats, Uncle Monster, Nytrous and Dr. Lou, from our taping in June.

Watch it now on YouTube!

Next week we’ve got another song from Tommy Conwell from the Florence Patriotic  Celebration. The band Throddle backed him up that evening.  Also on the August 4th show, we are back at The Record Collector with Lisa Bouchelle and Bob Burger.  Then we go back in time with Dave Weber, Sic Vikki and LeCompt.  What a great line-up of talent!

Last Monday Bill and Dr. Lou went to the Philadelphia Songwriter’s Association meeting.  We’re looking forward to working with some of the people Bill met that night and bring their talents to our audience.  We will have more info on that soon.

Hope everyone can come out and be a part of the music this weekend in Mt. Holly, and then make it home in time to watch IMT!

We’re right in the middle of summer, and I know after a week like this past one, I am grateful for today’s drop in temperatures.  Sure felt great!

Liquid Island at our Anniversary Show

This week we have some vintage footage of Mother Redcap & Rock Heart from the early fun days of IMT.  Great memories.  Also on this week’s show, Blue Heather & Liquid Island from the anniversary concert, plus Tommy Conwell from the Florence Patriot Day celebration.

Watch it now on YouTube!

Watching all this outdoor concert footage should put everyone in the mood to come on out to Hollystock on July 28 from noon until 9 PM.  Hope to see you there!  Steve from Mother Redcap will also be performing at Hollystock next Saturday.  We’ll be there taping at the Mill Race stage, behind Hebe Music.  We’ll be taping the Steve Oakley Band at 7:30 PM, plus some other bands throughout the day.   Drop by and see us!

Next week, when you get home from Hollystock, tune into IMT‘s return to Dr. Lou’s Place and enjoy Dr. Lou, Uncle Monster, The Poet-Lariats & Nytrous performing the second songs they each recorded that evening in June.

IMT is beginning to book for future TV tapings at both Dr. Lou’s Place and Hebe Music.
