April Storms: AS #600, Earth Day, and Baseball
More great acoustic-rock will rain on Storm listeners during
the month of April.
Fleetwood Mac takes centerstage in the Eye of The Storm for
the first weekend of April. 4/4 is opening day (or should I say, opening night)
of Major League Baseball, so we'll celebrate with acoustic music for our national
pastime, and baseball Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins will "pitch" in as
well.
Earth Day is April 22nd, so we'll get into the ecological mind set
with some green acoustic-rock from Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell
and Midnight Oil. Plus, Bob Dylan gets the spotlight in the Eye of The Storm
On the last show of April, we'll celebrate the 600th Acoustic Storm, by
featuring Tom Petty in the Eye of The Storm.
Thanks for all your support of The Acoustic Storm since October of 1998!
4/3-4: FLEETWOOD MAC (Baseball, too)
4/10-11: MOODY BLUES
4/17-18: DYLAN (Earth Day Storm)
4/24-25: TOM PETTY (Acoustic Storm #600)

Storm Moves to Saturday Mornings in Phoenix on KSLX
Acoustic Storm listeners in Phoenix asked 100.7 KSLX to bring back the third hour and return The Storm to weekend mornings, and the station has obliged.
So The Acoustic Storm now airs Saturday mornings from 6-9 on KSLX.
The Acoustic Storm's first-ever episode aired on KSLX Sunday morning, October 25, 1998. The Storm moved over to KPKX-The Peak in Phoenix in 2004 and returned to KSLX last August, running Sunday evenings from 8-10.
Thanks for your support, and see you Saturday mornings for the full three-hour Storm in the Valley on 100.7 KSLX!

Super February on The Storm
The Acoustic Storm will celebrate February with some theme shows.
Since Super Bowl 44 will feature The Who as half-time headliners, we'll spotlight Pete Townshend and The Who in the Eye of The Storm on the weekend of February 6-7.
We've also got a couple of songs in honor of each Super Bowl team. For the New Orleans Saints, we've combined the titles of a couple of songs into "It's Hard To Be a Saint in the City of New Orleans" with Bruce Springsteen from his debut album and Arlo Guthrie's cover of the Steve Goodman classic. For the Indianapolis Colts, it wasn't as easy to come up with songs that have "Indianapolis" or "colts" in the title, so we'll play one of Indiana's favorite sons, John Mellencamp with an acoustic version of "Pink Houses," along with some stripped Stones with "Wild Horses."
For the weekend of Feb. 13-14, The Acoustic Storm will celebrate Valentine's Day with an entire show dedicated to the theme of love. Of course, you gotta have heart with Valentine's Day, so we'll focus on Ann and Nancy Wilson with Heart in the Eye of The Storm. You'll also hear music from the Lovin' Spoonful and the critically-acclaimed band Love. Plus, we'll keep the Valentine's theme going with acoustic rock from The Beatles, Stones, Springsteen, Dylan, Clapton, Doors, Van Morrison and lots more.
February 25th would have been George Harrison's 67th birthday, so we'll highlight George, both solo and with The Beatles in the Eye of the Storm the weekend of Feb. 20-21.
For the last Storm of February, we'll escape winter (at least musically) with a weekend getaway featuring the "Mayor of Margaritaville" in the Eye of The Storm with Jimmy Buffett in words and music.
Here's a plug for Lauren Greenfield. She's the daughter of Storm-friend Mark Greenfield, who got the ball rolling for The Acoustic Storm on Majic 102.7 in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Lauren is attending Florida State as an Interior Design major and is competing for a Blackfish scholarship to study in Italy for six weeks this summer.

Heading Towards An Acoustic Storm Christmas
The Acoustic Storm will bring holiday cheer to the airwaves the weekend of 12/19-12/20 with our annual presentation of "An Acoustic Storm Christmas." This special edition of the show will feature a double bill in the Eye of The Storm with Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, as you'll hear Christmas music and memories from Jon Anderson of Yes and Greg Lake of ELP.
We've also got traditional Christmas songs from Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie (with Bing Crosby), Marshall Tucker and Jeff Beck; plus acoustic-rock holiday classics from John Lennon, Elton John, the Eagles and Jethro Tull.
As an added treat, we'll head to the archives for those vintage Christmas messages from the Beatles to their fan club, which date back to the early '60s.
Here's the December line-up for featured artists in the Eye of The Storm:
CLAPTON Unplugged (12/5-6)
JACKSON BROWNE Solo & Acoustic (12/12-13)
YES and EMERSON LAKE & PALMER: Acoustic Storm Christmas (12/19-20)
