Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #71: Some Like It Hot
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
With Summer fast approach and the weather ratcheting up I thought it would a great idea to fire out a show of some killer new tracks and some of my favorite older tracks and a couple of legends in there too to rounds things out. Just what you need to get yourself fired up and into that dancing mood before the dog days of summer find you a drunken mess in a kiddie pool. Be well friends !

It has been a while so I thought it was time to post another new show. While the best way to listen is live at the times listed below, I will keep putting up shows as I have the time to. This episode is a nice mix of stuff including a handful of new tracks from the likes of The Articles, Danny Rebel and Winds of Matterhorn for starters. As the weather gets nice the tunes get hotter. So fire it up and enjoy it the way ska is meant to be enjoyed... LOUD !

Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #69: Music Without Words
Sunday Apr 11, 2021
Sunday Apr 11, 2021
I deviated my usual Sunday Traditional Chill Session this week, but fear not I still have you some chill cooking up. For the longest time I was not down with Ska tunes that did not have lyrics. As I worked my way backwards through 3rd Wave Ska in the tail end of the 90's I started to appreciate it a little bit. Well I appreciate it plenty fine today, but simply do not spend enough time doing so. So today's show it all Instrumental tunes from the 60's all the way up to today. You really get to hear the wide diversity and many influences in this brilliant music and its absolutely awesome! Hope you dig it and Happy Sunday. If you enjoy the show please subscribe and share.

Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #68: The Indecent Proposal
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
We all know that today's Rude Boy and Rude Girl's can be a little bit cheeky, but so too could yesterday's legends. In fact they wrote the book with Rocksteady! So this episode we flip through some of the true scorchers of yesterday and today. There is nothing as cheeky as an indecent proposal in the view of ska! I sat of this show idea for a long time, I hope you enjoy it!

Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Spring is definitely on it's way. The days have gotten longer, the air is starting to warm up and soon I will be out mowing the grass. Sorry for the lag between shows school has been keeping me busy! Though you can always catch the shows live 3 times a week :) This week I grabbed some new tunes, some great tunes, some favorite tunes threw them all into a bag and poured them out and this is what you have. And let me be honest, it's a pretty damn good show! Doing these live I am pretty particular about quality, but sometimes you just have to let it go. The music is great even if I sound silly. Hope you enjoy the tunes!

Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #66: In Remembrance
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
So 2020 was quite a year. We all found the strength and determination we maybe knew existed. Would found the ability to persevere in the face of adversity. We saw turmoil and change, heard promises and lies. Most of us come out of 2020 better people, but sadly some of us did not come out at all. This episode we mourn the heavy losses of the last year in our music community. Performers who, while gone, have left us with legacies and music for generations to come.
Rest In Power and thank you for all you have left us!

Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #65: Roots and Culture
Saturday Feb 06, 2021
Saturday Feb 06, 2021
This weeks Episode comes on the heels of post Covid. I was stricken with the plague, it kept me down a while and while it was mild it had taken me a little while to fully bounce back. But I think it's safe to say I have arrived. This show I bring you a excellent cross section from across the ages and spanning the breadth of the genre, truly a little bit of Roots and Culture. Hope you enjoy the snow and hope you didn't get blanketed with the 30" of snow like we got here!

Rocksteady Tonight - Episode #64:Swing This !
Wednesday Jan 27, 2021
Wednesday Jan 27, 2021
Welcome this another special one off episode. Back in the 90's when Ska was rocking on all 8 cylinders another genre was making a comeback right behind it, this was Swing. I never enjoyed Swing quite as much as Ska, but I sure loved the dancing and the styles, especially all those legs! Gin and Juice and Cigarettes and a horn section was the right recipe for a good night out. The Swing Revival has largely fizzled out again in North America, but it was hopping for a little while and it was fun. Hope you enjoy this throwback show and the memories it brings back of better days.
