Russ shares with us, in great detail, his process for turning inspiration into platinum success. Song From The Warehouse / The Hits Rewired is available now.
We are joined once again by Joe Grushecky to talk about the Iron City Houserocker’s new deluxe edition of Blood on the Bricks which is available for the first time on CD. The new collection includes an impressive second CD featuring a portion of a club date on the tour, demos of songs on the album and also so never before heard tracks. Joe reflects back on working with Steve Cropper on the album, the live show included in the set, and so much more. Blood on the Bricks is available now.
Finally we are joined by Rebecca McCormick of Pittsburgh Brewing Co to talk about their new concert destination in the Pittsburgh area appropriately named the Iron City Stage.
