Bet you are wondering what the Wonder Shack is? Its a new series where we will focus on potential "mega hit tracks"!! Lots of these tracks have only had one play or no plays or haven't been played in a LONG time in rotation. There's many different reasons why these tracks have not had that much focus. It makes you wonder what we're doing over here at the Shack...lolThe world is full of one hit wonders and wonders of the "musicsphere"! Its a wonder why you haven't heard of these bands yet outside of my show! Its a wonder why they aren't hits! Well no need to wonder anymore, were working on bringing them the attention and notoriety they deserve! So put your headphones on and head to the gym or hop in the car for a drive!!

Its August and Daft Punk (w/ Jawny Badluck) are bringing the fire! Its just hot and there's no mistaking that the heat you can find on the Halshack is just as hot as the heat outside! We're making some new nostalgic memories in the summer heat here in the Rap Shack! This show is half submissions and half regular artists on my show. It worked out to have room to focus on some new releases and past hits from the show! Check out Migs718 swimming with the "Sharks" on repeat from Rap Shack 6 while Ladibree is "Groovin" to new tunes as she was "Chosen" to bring back old school female lead hip-hop in a big way! Just finished up Reverbnation campaign #7 and this group of last finalists surely knows how to blister the airwaves with some melting hot rap and hip hop! 1300 submissions this campaign with 55 being chosen across all genres! Well done to the top 4% for catching my ear to make my show! We love our hip hop here at the shack! We even love our world beats too as we have Mt. Boi and Dwon to bring you some culture

Get your cowboy boots and your saddle together for a backwoods ride through the hills and valleys as well as plush the green meadows of the country soundscape that is the Halshack! Strap up for a good time from 2000s modern country flare to newer sounds of the country musicsphere, we will throw a little bluegrass party as well as you join in on the fun! Not to be left out of the party you will want to stick around for some southern style cowboy blues rock to wrap up your ride through the backwoods! Tailgating, fishing and wasting money plus many more nostalgic memories are here to be had and cherished. Its within music that we find our souls to help better understand ourselves and life's passions. Country music is at the backbone of what it means to be an American. Its in these lyrics and anthems that we come together as one for the great shared experience of the radio from years past! So what are you waiting for, hop in the car or on the horse and take me out to the barn to shovel the stalls....lol Might as

Time for summer fun! Who knows where the music will take you so lets get in the car and DRIVE baby! This will continue my famous theme show that started it all. Destination Unknown 1 was a sure fire hit!!! Lets capture the magic of the road again with a theme show full of "drive" titles or being on the road and reference titles for movement to unknown destinations and places. Summer as you know is a great time for travel or just taking a leisurely drive across the landscape no matter where you live in this world. Here in the USA taking a road trip is a favorite past time of ours. America is so big you can drive for hours and not even leave one state. You need to enjoy your road trip too while you pass the time in the car, truck or RV. That's what the Halshack is for! Hours of boring car rides can seem like a dull time when you think about it but your music destination is just around the corner with a touch of a button. So next time you need to spend some time in the car whether its driving to your family vaca

Lets get back to basics folks!! The 80s/90s were the king of the road for music! Diversity in music is what makes the culture of the world spin out on the airwaves. Back in the day we opened our ears and eyes and our borders to music from all over the world from the British Invasion to South African vibes to Gregorian chants even...lol Its a crime that music has flown in the direction it has. Newcomers (DARKBIRD) from Austin, TX are certainly not guilty of any musical "Crimes" as their new hit has soared in for a landing on the Halshack! I'm glad they decided to pick my landing zone and launching pad for their band. We will do what we can to help Darkbird build a nest here at my show!We even got super lucky to land Belinda Carlisle and Gabe Lopez in a new duet "California Blues". We are absolutely not feeling the blues around the Shack these days! I'm honored to have their support!  Over the years the labels seemed to have forgot where quality meets innovation and "catchy" writing skills as well as pro experi

Brand new Reverbnation Campaign #7 (Rap Shack 13) almost 1000 submissions so far and these roughly 20 new artists were chosen to be a part of my special rap/hip-hop series that's been earning many accolades throughout the industry. The nature of music is a funny thing. True it's ever changing but good quality acts don't usually go against the grain. Nature gave humans the ability to vibrate with the world in musical bliss across multiple genres and styles from new to classic and from young to old. Rap/hip-hop/R&B is deeply rooted in blues/jazz/gospel buried in the rich history of the backwoods also city pubs and clubs of the south.Rapshack thirteen is lean, mean, and green with the rising talent that can only be found out there in the indie wilderness of hip hop land. Take a musical hunting trip through the vast prairie of rap/hip-hop sounds that are a rare find from the usual habitat of the top music market. Rest assured you can always escape the insanity of the world as you spend some quality time outsi
