Join me for some spicy rock and roll on 'Your Sunday Brunch' between 7 and 10 on January 27th.
We have some future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, artists with new releases coming out, musical birthdays and an album side.
This is a big year for Rush, who will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this April after more than a decade of being turned down for the honor. And who will be on hand to deliver the induction speech for the legendary Canadian prog-rockers? None other than "self-professed Rush superfans" Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Have you seen any of the new Alfred Hitchcock movies?
'Your Sunday Brunch' on the first weekend of December's kind of like a Hitchcock film; filled with suspense, intrigue, thrills and surprises.
Please join me from seven until ten for some tasty tidbits.
Mmmm....do you love waffles?
This is National Waffle Week so grab your syrup and get to ironing some waffles!
It's also a Labor Day weekend, so on 'Your Sunday Brunch' from 7-10 a.m. we'll be playing some working songs, getting ready for some of the great shows in the area and celebrating Friday's Blue Moon.
How about some leftovers on 'Your Sunday Brunch'?
We're going to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, graduation, this weekend's Super Moon, (thanks for the 'Moon' song suggestions), some rock birthdays and we'll play music from some of the bands coming in concert this week.

Did you watch the Grammy's on Sunday?
On February 12, it was music's biggest night, (or biggest award show, anyway), the 54th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast on CBS.
Some of our favorite classic rock artists were nominated for awards and others performed.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took the stage to open the show and 'The Promise: The Darkness on The Edge of Town Story' won the Grammy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, it was competing against Sting's '25 Years' release.
Joe Walsh played on a performance of Paul McCartney's new song "My Valentine." Neil Young was one of four performers paying tribute to McCartney. Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr was a presenter of a Grammy Award.
Weird Al Yankovic's, 'Alpocalypse,' was nominated for Best Comedy Album and 'Perform This Way,' (his parody of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'), was up for Best Short Form Music Video. (Neither, unfortunately, took home a trophy)
Did you see some concerts this year?
What was your favorite live show of 2011?
We were fortunate to see more than our usual fair share this year and there were some really good ones, so the choice of "the best" was a tough one.
I'd have to say the Foo Fighters performance at the Pepsi Center is the one that really stands out. They played for more than two-and-a-half hours and returned for a five song encore. Their "Wasting Light" album this year is showing up on a lot of "best of" lists and has been nominated for numerous awards.
The bands opening for Foo Fighters put on quite a show too. Cage The Elephant, out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, have a bright future ahead of them. Their second album called "Thank You, Happy Birthday" came out in January 2011.
With pop acts seemingly getting all the attention these days, seeing Foo Fighters representing rock in the 2012 Grammy Awards is a breath of fresh air for fans. The band is nominated in multiple categories for the 54th annual Grammy Awards, thanks to their latest album ‘Wasting Light,’ which is up for the prestigious Album of the Year trophy.
Foo Fighters hooked up with veteran rocker Joan Jett last night (Nov. 15) on the ‘Late Show With David Letterman,’ tearing through a raucous version of the title track from the rock goddess’ 1989 solo debut album, ‘Bad Reputation.’
Were you at the Foo Fighters show Sunday, October 9, at the Pepsi Center in Denver?
Bet you didn't make it to work on Monday morning because the Foo Fighters played until after Midnight, their encore was five songs.
Dave Grohl told the crowd at the beginning of their set that they were going to play for two-and-a-half hours because they have a lot of "*#&@ing songs." And they did, they played all the songs I could think of including; "The Pretender," "Learn To Fly," "Best of You," "Times Like These," "My Hero" and new ones from their Wasting Light album like "Rope" and "Walk."
The Foo Fighters are coming to Denver October 9! We've got more details, and a link to purchase tickets, after the jump.
