Night Rock Radio

Night Rock Radio A deep cuts & celebrity interview show anchored by Tom Lounges w/co-host Hegewisch Lisa Sotiros.

"Night Rock" was a vintage radio show rooted in deep cuts and forgotten favorites and anchored by celebrity interviews by show host Tom Lounges. "Night Rock" was originated in the late 1970s and a revised version of the venerable program had aired for 9 consecutive years on Northwest Indiana station -- WXRD / X-ROCK 103.9FM -- until it ended in May of 2012. Lounges has since taken the celebrity/mu

sician interview segments that were a major part of the "Night Rock" program and created a new program called "MIDWEST BEAT with Tom Lounges" that has been broadcast weekly since December 2012 every Tuesday evening (7pm CST) on 89.1FM-Lakeshore Public Radio. Many fans of "Night Rock" have continued to follow Tom Lounges to his new home on the dial, where they now hear new interviews with many of the same kind of major music stars once featured on "Night Rock," artists like -- Charlie Daniels, Paul Rodgers, Jim Peterik, Roger Taylor (Queen), Rod Argent, Justin Hayward, Ian Anderson, and dozens more. Music fans can now listen to on demand podcasts of all "MIDWEST BEAT with Tom Lounges" programs 24/7 at -- http://lakeshorepublicmedia.org/local-programs/midwest-beat
