The Racket
May 25, 2023 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Nighttime Rock
With johnny ghost
Do you claim to be born in the wrong generation? Do you think your favorite subgenre of rock is dead? Do you complain they just don't make music like they used to?
This is the Racket and I'm Johnny Ghost here to prove you wrong with a weekly selection of surf, garage, blues, rockabilly, Americana, and otherwise good old fashioned rock 'n' roll in modern times, with dedicated throwbacks to the 20th century every 10th episode. New songs for old souls, old songs for the new age, and all the proof you need that the kids still rock like they used to, every Thursday evening 6-7 on HD2; be there or be square.
Local Oldies (The 100th Episode Special)
We've reached triple digits! The big one double-oh! So, finally, I will do something I have been set on for the better part of two years: I will take you all, my beloved listeners, through a twisting tour of North Carolina's musical history.
