The Wizard On The Waves NOLA

No, I'm not doing an MST3K style commentary about some old Sci-Fi movie. (Although that WOULD be cool.) Today I welcome the youngest band I think I have ever had on the show, but don't let their young voices fool you..these guys are well on their way to being ROCK GODS...have an awesome time and enjoy the facemelting... THE WIZARD HAS SPOKEN

Join me I dive off into an obscure internet mystery this week, and break out some music from 1984.

In order to make my new co-host Kevin, (Here after referred to as "The Shaman") I put him under pressure, and behind the mike. I was absolutely blown away. This is going to be a cool adventure! Welcome Aboard Shaman! Let's make some magic together!

We were back live this week after two weeks of Jazz Fest!! Really cool guests this week, NEW FOOLS. I also spin some of my favorite horn section music and I think Keven speaks a few words. Check it out.

I've totally got a theme going on this week, see if you can figure out what it is. No joke. HA! Don't forget you can always listen live every Saturday from 2-4 PM Central on 102.3 FM in New Orleans or streaming simultaneously worldwide..on whivfm.org/listen.

I'm playing some of the most influential (and some of the most forgotten) women in the history of music this month. It's going to range through every genre just like I always do, so enjoy. I also have a super special secret guest in the studio with me that may be my co-host for a few episodes coming up real soon. So stay tunes for the fun. The Wizard

WOW! Richard Rourke returned to the show to debut his new single and unveil his "Six Week Plan" and we listened to some Yacht Rock inbetwixt time. It was awesome!!

We pay tribute to the late great Jeff Beck, play some new stuff, and then listen to three new songs from NICMVIN.  Be sure to like, follow, share, subscribe and all that stuff.  Thank you --The Wizard

Wow this was a wild show. There's all kinda special treats in this one..enjoy.

This is my playlist of songs that I cant play on the radio... I told you, here's your Halloween Treat!!

Man, what a day!! Playing all my favorite Halloween Tunes and then (Fanfare) Metronome the City!!! Check out My linktree for more!  https://linktr.ee/thewizardonthewavesnola (Special Thanks to Full Tilt Records)

I'm playing all the artists that are nominated for the Offbeat magazine "Best of The Beat" awards I could squeeze into the show today, plus an interview with Ocie Crowe. 

Founded in 2014 by the husband-and-wife duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, The War And Treaty have emerged as one of the most electrifying new acts in American music. With a lionhearted sonic blend – both roaring with passion and tender to the touch – the showcase “pure love that shatters and defies every musical category,"  (Music Row) . Earning respect, they’ve gone on to...

I've had several guests from this label, but today I've got the label maker himself Rob Hudak. We talk about all the bands on the label and share their music. Find out more at fulltiltrecords.bandcamp.com. 

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, I take the time to reflect on how much I despise aristocracy...and the the music reflects that. Plus I had COVID so I sound strange and I'm slightly medicated. Let's have some fun!!

I didn't have a guest this week, so I'm playing whatever I want..(I kinda do anyway). New stuff from New Orleans artists. Listen to this one!! 

This week's guest is David Johnson, Digital Media Editor of Offbeat Magazine and Host of BEATCAFE on WHIV! Man, this guy has some stories. We don't even make a dent in an hour...check it out!

This week's "Special Guest" is Local NOLA Artist, Shawn Williams. She's a Singer/Songwriter, that has been described as Alternative, Americana, Blues, Country, Folk, Indie, Punk, R&B/Soul, Rock, Rockabilly...so what's not to like? Great Interview, absolutely a blast. I also play some 90's music and there's some discussion on serial killers. Check the LINK IN BIO for more info! --The Wizard &nb...

I got asked to guest host someone elses show, so I did....

A little musical tribute to two greats that have moved on to the next plane of existence.. Lamont Dozier and Olivia Newton-John. Lamont Dozier was instrumental to the early sound of Motown through the songwriting and production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Together they co-wrote and co-produced more songs than I could fit in an hour. (So I just hit the highlights.) Then in the second hour it's...

I didn't have anyone scheduled this week so I did an all music day. Played music from all my previous guests, and recorded the show live. ( I didn't edit anything either so you could experience how it is to listen live..haha) Share it will all your friends please...I need more listeners. Thank You.

Holy Crap, I still can't believe this happened. Playing new music and interview with Meschiya Lake!!! No lies, I was extremely excited to have her on the show. Check it out!

These guys got a horrible review on Offbeat Magazine, and I (for one) really enjoy their album and their music in general. you can find them at www.wherenothingburns.com (They have a record on vinyl!!!) Check them out! (You will really enjoy them if you're an angsty Gen-x/elder millennial like me.) 

A little side note for my listeners.
