As part of the Robin's Nest's summer series celebrating legendary bands of the ’60s and ’70s still going strong after more than five decades, Rockin' Robin will be joined by Roger Earl, founding drummer of Foghat and former drummer for Savoy Brown. Roger has been the one constant member of Foghat for more than 50 years, and he’ll stop by the WUSB studios between dates on the band’s busy touring schedule. Join us Friday, August 21 from 2–3 p.m.

WUSB’s Sunday Street Series welcomes legendary blues guitarist, singer and songwriter Rory Block to The Long Island Museum on Sunday, October 4 at 5 p.m.

Known for her powerful, authentic interpretations of traditional country blues—as well as her own original compositions—Block has built a celebrated career carrying the music’s rich traditions forward for new generations of listeners.

This Thursday at 4 p.m., join Captain Phil’s Planet for a special conversation with Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery as they preview their new collaborative album, The Roaring Waves.

Eight years in the making, the album brings the two acclaimed guitarists together for something Hackett describes as less traditionally progressive and more “cinematic” and atmospheric.

The project came together gradually between touring and other commitments, with sessions at the Racket Club and their home studios. Rothery describes the process as refreshingly old-school—two friends getting together, playing and seeing where the music takes them.
