WTYU.rocks The New Sound of Classic Rock
Black Leather with a Blue Suede Soul Kevin McElroy Editor, Tune Up Magazine We lost Ozzy on July 22, 2025, and he once again rocked the world — just not in the way any of us wanted. For me, the news hit like a gut punch. Ozzy’s been part of my life since the day I dropped the needle on Side A of Diary of a Madman and looked up […]
Algorithms Don’t Pour Beers or Book Gigs Kevin McElroy Editor, Tune Up Magazine We always tell people: don’t burn bridges. But maybe we don’t say often enough: build them. And not with demos. Not with sales pitches or Instagram tags. You build bridges with presence. With curiosity. With just showing up—when it’s easier not to. It Started with a Simple Decision Johnny E and I are both a couple of […]
Brian Basher Program Director, WTYU.rocks Rock Royalty Pays Homage to Triumph (and It Rules) I know everyone has been on a Triumph kick here lately, but damn their new tribute album "Magic Power: All Star Tribute To Triumph" kicks ass from start to finish and it is heavy on the "all stars" My favorites are from Tesla the Band's Jeff Keith with "Hold On" and Night Ranger's Jack Blades "Follow […]
Kevin McElroy Editor, Tune Up Magazine It starts with Guiseppe “Joe” DiPietro, the man behind Howard & Nan’s at the Berlin Farmer’s Market—or as we locals call it, The Auction. I didn’t know Joe, and in fact, just this past year was the first time we got to talk on one of my occasional Sunday morning trips to The Auction. I was picking up some jazz records for my wife […]
Nancy Adler, C.F.T., S.S.N., S.S.C. Nutrition Editor, Tune Up Magazine Hey Guys, There are no Resolutions. Let’s Set Realistic Goals!! Alright, guys, the holidays were a blast—big meals, bigger laughs, and maybe a little extra eggnog (no judgment!). You’ve been living like a rock star, headlining feasts and family gatherings. But every great show needs an encore, and now it’s time to regroup, reset, and get back into a groove […]
Kevin McElroy Editor, Tune Up Magazine A New Year, A New Rock Resolution It’s a new year, and I’m going to keep hopeful. Before the holidays, I was listening to Eddie Trunk’s Trunk Nation show on Sirius XM, and he proposed what I thought was a great idea: Instead of calls complaining about what’s not happening in Rock, why not channel some positive energy? Listeners could share their hopes and […]
KK Law Middays, 10am - 2pm, WTYU.rocks Apologies for the delay, folks—still shaking off the holiday hangover, but we’re back and ready to rock! The boss hasn’t let up on the homework, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Out of a big stack of tunes, these six stood out and made the cut. Crank ‘em up, let me know what hits hardest, and drop your own Sixpack picks in the […]
Kevin McElroy Editor, Tune Up Magazine The Ripple Effect of Passion: Inspiring Creativity Norman Harris built more than a guitar shop. He created a haven for musicians, a time capsule of music history, and a treasure trove of stories that continues to inspire generations. Norman’s Rare Guitars, the Netflix documentary chronicling his life and legacy, is a masterclass in how one person’s passion can change the world. The film captures […]
KK Law Middays, 10am - 2pm, WTYU.rocks Making the Cut: KK’s Weekly Playlist Challenge Alright, Six Packers, let’s talk shop. Every week, the boss hands me a list of 10–15 songs as my “homework.” That’s right, homework. I know, I know—sounds like the dream gig, right? But let me tell you, picking just six songs out of that list is no walk in the park. And the boss? Yeah, they’ve […]
