 ALERT ALERT!! ---------ALL-NEW  music bonus show!!Ep 23.5 (Dare to Be Squared) Aug 26, 2021-- Special bonus introduction from yours trulyAs fate and destiny would have it, a little birdie must have landed on Sarah Woods desk at BSQUARED MGMT and tweeted in her phone to look up the Halshack! I'm not sure how she found me yet whether it was the little twitter bird or the book of many faces...(lol) with a well placed promotional post, that has yet to be discovered. I love a good mystery!...lolSo keeping with the story about our pre-destined futures, turns out that one of our very own artists, LAINEY DIONNE, is part of their team unbeknownst to either one of us. Sarah didn't say one word about it when she approached me so I just assume she had no idea. I brought that point up so she was happy to hear that great news!  (That's usual par for the course with me, everything just falls into place on its own..lol) I dug through a rabbit hole folks for 10 hours of somewhere in the ballpark of 60 profiles at least and honed in on the A-class talent of the BSquared roster. Lainey has a new album coming out in less than a week and you can (Pre-Save) on Spotify as well as catch her in 3 other episodes of my popular show! Also she is in a contest in New England so please check out her social pages to find links. She has been nominated for 5 different categories. GO VOTE FOR LAINEY!!

BIG NEWS may be afoot as we look forward to helping to decide the fate of NBC scouted band UNDECIDED FUTURE in a new show coming next summer, they are almost at the final decision to be on the show) We're rooting for you guys!!! We are working on some things behind the scenes together that may prove beneficial for so many aspiring hopefuls that have graced my show.This is why important people from the President of Reverbnation and NBC casting scouts have come to me for talent as well as many stars have allowed exclusive music projects for my show!

BRAND NEW SHOW ALERT!! BRITISH INVASION Ep 22.5 JULY 2021 The British are coming!! The British are coming!! Let the reverie begin for all music lovers who will hear these great sounds and bands from our fine talented friends from "across the pond"!! Its nearing the 4th of July here in the states as we celebrate our great yet tattered country that has much rebuilding to do but we are Americans and we are resilient just like our friendships abroad. As we look back to important holidays like Memorial Day, where so many allied forces gave their lives in the name of freedom, we are reminded of great relationships forged over the years with our friends we fought so hard to break free from then we fought along side of to help rid the world of tyranny. Memorial Day weekend 2015, NARROW PLAINS won a spectacular contest to come to the states and work with famed producer John Davenport and play a couple gigs while they were here. I got the pleasure of meeting with the gents in my home area at the Blind Tiger in Greensboro, NC. I was elated to meet these fine chaps, we had a beer, some laughs, and a great interview which you can find posted on the podcast feed. I was honored to flap my gums with the fellas for 320 mins and record their show. I used some "live excerpts" from the show in Greensboro and mixed them with their song they recorded at Deep River Studios in Sanford NC, USA! So with Memorial Day recently passing in May and 4th of July coming its a great time to remember and honor our British, Irish, and Scottish pals from way across the "giant lake" of salt and seaweed...lol Speaking of memorials....We have a special TRIBUTE in this episode for VIOLA BEACH, young British rockers with a HUGE future who's lives were so tragically taken from this world in a terrible auto accident in Sweden in 2016! Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these wonderful young men. I appreciate this rare opportunity I was given to help support this band and help with their release of a possible new tribute album in the future! I'm very honored to Have VIOLA BEACH in my camp of talented artists! Its so ironic to be doing this show now unplanned mind you, I got the idea off one of my US artists spent some time evidently in London and met a friend or potential lover, not sure which. She wrote a song called "Hey London" and I just ran it in the (Summerscapes episode, June 2021) all about places around the world and how you get there and want to get back home. Great episode! It made me think about London and Narrow Plains and all my good friends and bands and radio stations that support the show! I said its time to do something special for my friends in the UK!! (some I'd consider family, just love you guys!!) Then the irony of all to release it unplanned at our Independence Day from England who are now are best chums on the planet!!...lol BIG THANKS to TIZZ SHEARER at XRP Radio and Dave Cruttendan with DISCOVER UNSIGNED for always supporting the HALSHACK and showing us much love and exposure to you fine brilliant folks in ENGLAND, IRELAND, and SCOTLAND!! Be sure to catch brand new FULL TALK and MUSIC (Ep 23) later this month and BATTLESHACK 3 super exclusive voting and band showdown contest will be kicking off later this summer!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADS!! Congratulations!! If you're reading this then we made it to 2021 and hopefully past all the bullcrap and the nonsense that had us all down the last 2 years!! Well lets "cut the crap" as us Dads like to say and show off only the finest in unknown rock this 3rd time around for another jaunt into my library and my headspace of vast musical knowledge of nuances and rock flair. (See Rock Ages 1 and 2) for more pure rock goodness!! Rock is not meant to be nice nor are its fans forgiving when it comes to skills of the axe laden guitar string. Music is about showing off all your skills and musical weapons one possesses in their arsenal of experience and expertise. I am Generation X. We learned to earn our keep and we perfected what modern music is today. Gen X is the best at music. We don't hand out participation trophies because we know the quality of talent that is out there. Once you've heard that then it makes no sense to settle for second best. It existed once at the top tier for many decades but that seemed to have been replaced with sub- standard expectations today. You want on the Halshack?? You got to earn it! You earn it by creating something that catches my valuable well respected discerning ear! Millions of fans DOES NOT impress me, what you create does even if you only have a 100! I can spot quality years ahead! I hope you enjoy my day of music for DAD to ROCK!! Find everything Halshack at my website www.halshack.com 24 hour radio station www.zeno.fm/halshack Show is also on just about every major music platform! Go find all the back episodes. There's only about 80 different episodes to jam!! Even some country and rap!! Thanks for becoming a fan!!

Warning!!!! ADULT CONTENT 18+ Well if you're in the mood for thumpin' down the highway or you just want to thump your bedroom with your love then look no further! I put together this special show off a cue from a new friend who has a very sexually based podcast. It's something I've often thought about doing but waiting to get the right music together for it. So here you go. Have a little fun on the house or in the house...lol whatever you do, be sure to make it special!!

MAY the fourth BE WITH YOU!!...lol Official release of the exclusive radio show (Double Trouble). Its Star Wars day and of course my show has something to do with Star Wars (huge fan...lol) and the song titles and it just so happens to be time to release this to the world! "I can't explain my life folks! I just live it"...lol Well, in light of Star Wars Day, its time to shed the sabers light on this very cool show (released last year to radio only!!) full of broken men and echoes of the past when music meant more than background noise! Just like Anakin, I too was a "Broken Man" when I started my journey into the music business many many years ago! That's when the music started to change for the worse at the top tier level. People who know better never forgot the "Echoes" of the past greats of music while this new (bad batch) of songs infiltrated the airwaves. Some thought it was great while others had "Faith" we wouldn't completely "Ghost" the soul of music for all the fancy "Lights" and glory of a new electronic sound while real bands and musicians were left feeling like "Monsters" and outsiders to the music industry. Here we are 9 years later since that fateful day in 2012 when I decided it was time to be the change that we so desired before the industry loses all credibility. I made a point to "Never Give Up" on you the listener just hoping for the day that folks would "Remember Me" when they tune into the radio when looking for music that is NOT being boxed in by "Walls". "No Walls" around music means diversity can grow and be encouraged. Well I hope you enjoy my little story as much as my show! Go find your fave episode now and remember "the force of excellent music will always be with you on my show" You can always stream or download the shows here at PODOMATIC or just about anywhere on the web from ITUNES to IHEART, to DEEZER, to AMAZON MUSIC plus many many more!!
