Live On The Grass Roots Show - Mary Lou Scherder
Flashback Friday - It was a very most perfect first interview with Mary Lou Scherder earlier this year, as she stopped on by the studio and introduced us to her new CD "Charlie's Daughter". Don't have it? Get it. Here she is performing "The Very Most Perfect First Kiss" from that CD. Mary Lou has been very active in the local music scene, you can see her out performing almost every week, and if she's taking a break from scheduled shows she's out hoping up on stage at an open mic or with another band.

Grass Roots On The Scene - East Coast Turnaround
The Grass Roots Show "On The Scene". Bob and Utah made their way down to The Hard Rock Cafe to catch long time friends of the show EastCoast Turnaround, along with rising local star Paul Luc (first time for both of us hearing this guy), and incredible singer/songwriter Chris Knight. All 3 acts were phenomenal, and there was some goosebump and shiver down your spine moments with some of the songs, as well as plenty of laughter, and plain old "I can relate to that!". We talked with some of the guys from East Coast Turnaround after the show and we'll get that on an up and coming show soon, and see if we can hook up with Paul Luc at some point as well. Keep supporting folks, best value for your entertainment dollar, bar none.
