In memory of Rich Ring

Today I learned with great sadness of the death of Rich Ring, who was a former broadcaster here on Mushroom FM.

Billy Wright this week on The Juke In The Back!

The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

Our next rockumentary series is "The Elvis Presley Story"

After 218 episodes, we have concluded the remarkable series “The Lost Lennon Tapes”, so it’s time to use our rockumentary slot to profile another legend.

For the next 13 weeks, Mushroom Fm will be running “The Elvis Presley Story”. Presented by Wink Martindale, a broadcast legend and one of Elvis’s long-time friends. It features rare content and interviews with Elvis himself and others from his inner-circle.

Whether you’re an Elvis fan or you simply want to understand what all the fuss was about, “The Elvis Presley Story” is a must-hear.

Deep Dive is reminiscing

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the harmonies and talents of Australia's Little River Band. We hear about the lonesome loser, learn that help is on its way, and experience a cool change.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which for those in Australia is 8 AM Tuesday. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. Cruise up to that SmartSpeaker of yours and ask it to play Mushroom FM, out will come to the magic carpet and you will be there.

Deep Dive is where we focus on one artist for one hour, and it can be heard only on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

It's a Positive Potpourri of Pleasure, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's coming up on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. We're featuring the work of Loreena McKennitt, as she has celebrated a birthday recently. We will also remember the amazing master of the flugelhorn, Guido Basso, who passed away on February 13 of this year. Yes, he has a Folkish connection! And of course, we'll have our usual great mix of music for your enjoyment, and the show is live this week!

Remembering artists who left us in December 2022 and January 2023 this week on the Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's first forty years with nods to other decades and genres.
This week, I remember more artists who left us in December 2022 and January 2023 including an expanded tribute to Barrett Strong that I started late in last week's show.

The Treniers this week on The Juke In The Back!

The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
There were so many influential Rhythm & Blues artists who had a great impact on the development of Rock n' Roll, but were never able to profit from the new genre they helped to create.
