Back after popular demand! Up next for your audible loving ears! Its been 3 years since the original Double Trouble hit the Halshack airwaves back during the crazy toilet paper lovin' year of 2020..lolLets serve up another stellar show for your musical tray! Its a wild varied romp through different genres that will have your head spinning at how I managed to make it all work with my signature flow..lolThis series was born exclusively on ZENO FM back in 2020! It was later released to the podcast feed. Over the past couple of months I have created almost 10 new shows for this fantastic series. They will slowly be released to the podcast feed over the course of the year. It takes a very different approach to what we normally do and throws your brain into mixed genre mayhem or melancholy bliss. 2 exact same song titles or 2 similar song titles from 2 different bands. Sometimes its 2 robust distinct styles going head to head in this lyrical mess of audible manipulation..lol This show will have you thumping your heels from rock to country to pop and back again! I try to set the song titles up where the next 2 songs are of similar styles until it changes and moves on accordingly. Its a blast! Catch more Halshack news at my website!

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 vacation or heading out to do errands you might as well enjoy the road while finding your final destination.

Time is running out for those of you have not had your voices heard to build your own show for Battleshack 4 fan appreciation episode!!See you soon!!

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 experience to produce a top hit. The hits of today fail in comparison on many fronts from the forefathers and mothers of popular music of the past. Its not about "Get off my lawn"!! or "Kids today and their music"...lol It's about the very quality of whats being produced from an objective professional perspective. That all stopped about 10 to 15 years ago. That's when the decline of diversity set in and we only have what we have today at the top. We cant forget what "powerhouse hits" came well before the industry decided to stop looking for real singer songwriters and closing our musical borders to the knowledge of the world radio sphere. Its a "crime" that no one knows these bands exist and could compete with the greats of the past! Its a "crime" that there's no central place for music where we can share in that collective experience that made our world so connected without the internet or our phones. These new technologies have made us less connected than ever before!Lets rock 80s/90s!! Pop wave, Brit wave, Americana/rock in this show!! Have fun!!Up next maybe Ep 28 Shacknation 13 (full talk and music) or another theme show, not sure yet! Whatever it is, it will be great as always from your trusted guru of the radio dial!We got some BIG announcements coming soon about the High Rock Music Festival and the Shackhole down at the Axehole in Lexington NC!Find my show everywhere on Itunes, Iheart Radio, Podomatic, Deezer, Amazon Music and many more!Halshack.com you can find everything here including the tracklist at the SHACKLISTS page!Halshack.com/shacklistsThanks so much for becoming a fan! Help spread the word! This has been a 10 year passion project with no money made! Time to turn Halshack into an LLC and start the income stream for the bands with festivals and much more!

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 outside the "concrete corporate" musicsphere with the Halshack! Lets all get back to the basics of what the last 30 years of hip-hop has taught us about writing a good catchy tune and that would be................It's all in the melody! Melody is the key to unlocking the sweet spot of rap infusion. There was once a day when rap was one dimensional and kept in a box. That box has exploded to an artistic robust world of music that only nature herself could have created. Catch my boy "IamTonyDomingo" with his debut track "You're Missed" (featuring the cool beats of UK producer 2Deep with sweet soft vocals by Marian) on the worldwide Halshack airwaves hailing the mountains of Tennessee. Try not to let the insanity of the world get you down like Leroy Booker with his new track debut "I'm Insane". Hope you have a good journey through the backwoods and down the backroads to visit my RAPSHACK. This is an exclusive trip you can only take here at the Halshack!

Happy Mothers day to all our loving Moms! Its been 4 years since the last Mother's Day show. That one dealt with all my female artists at the time to celebrate women and their achievements. This time around I'm building on the idea of family, moms, dads, kids, babies and more titles dealing with the subject of moms lives even if you are NOT a MOM yourself you will still enjoy this show. Thanks to all our Moms for the daily sacrifices they make for the love of their families. Sometimes life is great and works out how you want sometimes it isnt and these are life lessons that we all need to learn at any age. There are stories here of youth and never being to young for love or having fun in the night to growing older and desiring a more simple quieter life. Don't worry about the kids, they will be alright! You just focus on you this Mothers Day and have some "Whiskey Baby" on us!Thank you to our loving mothers for all they do!HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all!! Have a great weekend!Find the show all over the web from Itunes to Iheart, to Amazon Music to many more including my website Halshack.com Find the tracklist at Shacklists pageHalshack.com/shacklists

"Themes are us" here at the Halshack! ..lol with special guest (CAVO) This show came about because of a submission from Alternative Twist Radio! They submitted to me a new competent talented artist by the name of Will Buck! I searched through his library and found this "little diddy" that almost "slipped my grasp"..lol with his song "Sleight of Hand" Will bucked this idea into my head to do a theme show based solely around this song. I had to find a way to use it so I dug deep through 10 years worth of my catalogue new and old to pull out one of the best episodes in the theme series to date! The best shows come along unplanned!This episode is all about what one faces from the negative side of life. Its a very serious tone. Some of the songs are upbeat but the show as a whole will tax your inner self and test your strength plus your mental fortitude. You can and will survive. Learn how to cope and find the inner strength needed to push forward. A good support system in your life is a must. Everyone experiences loss in many ways from the loss of a loved one to the loss of their family unit to losing ones keys or even losing yourself to the madness we call life. We all desperately want change but some lack the will or the fortitude to see it through. I have been in a very dark place the last several years of my life at different moments after the loss of my family unit plus the loss of my pets dying to losing my great house at the lake after 7 years then my car died. (lost house due to owners selling, I was a renter). Life has been somewhat strange and an adventure ever since...lol Its allowed me much introspective and retrospective on how to cope with life's curve balls. Through it all the music and my new phase of life have kept me positive and happy, for the most part, despite all the misery!New adventures are on the horizon as we plan forward for a SHACK HOLE at the Axe Hole/Friction Skating in Lexington NC! Next year coming August 2024 is the High Rock Music Fest with Halshack at CARAWAY SPEEDWAY! (hopefully, we are waiting on county approval for a permit for the festival at this time)Spotify playlist for some of the potential acts at the fest. we could see 40 to 50. Heres at least 15 to get you started!https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7acb5ugqLCvykCiztlz027?si=8ba26a7ba0e24883We will keep you posted!Find the show everywhere you find great podcasts like ITUNES, IHEART RADIO, AMAZON MUSIC, PODOMATIC plus many more!Find 15 pages of content including video shows like MTV, contests, and music blogs plus more!

Rap Shack 12 is sure to delve into some great jams to make you go "........DAMN!"..lol We're back again with another edition of my stellar rap and hip hop series I'm becoming renown for around the globe per our official radio submission campaigns with Reverbnation! This rounds out official campaign number #6 with the company. Moving on to 7 this summer!! We had 1500 submissions and chose about 50 to fill a few shows! Be sure to get your submissions in for the next campaign starting May 15th and ending July 31st! "She wanna do it for the Gram!" says Black Shawd and indeed we do want to get our message out to the Gram and Tik Tok and anywhere else who wants some dope tunes for your ride or to flash your hide...lol I managed to put together a cool special featuring some new rap infused R&B with a little soul pop in between then we go cruising into the islands for a little flavor of Jamaica. Skylar Lutes and Drifting Roots were having fun in the sun till the boys in blue thought they we're a "suspect" for bringing too much good music to your ears! Meanwhile MIGS718 is getting "Wasted" off good vibes after his BRAND NEW track just released!! Then we're going to take a slight stroll down memory lane to the harder edge of rap with some various new and old style hip hop mixes! Thanks for enjoying this journey with me. Its hard to put these shows together and manage to find all the right material to form a proper flow in order to arrange these various styles in a one hour setting. I manage to get lucky and do it everytime which is quite intriguing that I can do this without flaw. It does take alot of work. I have to dive through every single library of every potential artist for the episode and find the song that works and is presentable and professional enough for radio play. If its not there it doesnt make my show. Thats the quality Ive become known for. I appreciate everyone so much for becoming a fan and recognizing what we do here at the Halshack! It means the world to me and the most to these artists who have no voice to help them stand out! Find our shows across multiple platforms like itunes, Iheart, Amazon Music,. Podomatic, and many more plus my website at Halshack.comSee you soon! Time to start up some theme shows again and have a Shack Hole "live" event coming soon to the Axehole and Friction Skating this summer in Lexington NC. where we hope to announce our official plans for the High Rock Music Fest Summer 2024 once we get the approvals and location solved. See ya later alligators!! ...lol ....... Peace out my friends!!

Please welcome Belinda Carlisle to the Halshack!! Well last year we didn't get to put much focus on this special event! Due to the Wampus Cat Music Festival with Lit, Everclear and Sister Hazel this song was completely over shadowed! I talked about the song and played it in the Wampus Cat Special but it was a wash for their representation! Well I'd like to give this song justice and put the proper focus on the stellar career of Miss Belinda Carlisle of the Go Go's fame! I'm honored to have her on the show! She released a book recently about her troubled life behind the scenes which I believe many of us did not know about! I'm thankful she found a clean road to sobriety and she's with us today to share her stories of trials and tribulations. I'm glad she's overcome her problems and back on the road touring and cutting new music like this song with Gabe Lopez! Gabe submitted to me again for the show which we've already heard Gabe 3 times now on 3 diff tunes so thought we should swing back around to this little "diddy" about feeling the blues for home in CALIFORNIA BLUES! Honored to have this duet! This is all part of Reverbnation Campaign #6! We had 1500 submissions and all total almost 50 were chosen. There was 2 Shacknation shows and one rap show still to be released Rap Shack 12 will be out soon! Announcements will be coming shortly in emails to the lucky winners to get on my show! This is a great show. 10 minutes longer than normal. Lots of varied popular styles blended together. First you have some pop then a little EDM to swing your hips too then we work into some modern contemporary and off with a Brit wave to end the block. Third we will rock you out with various styles of new rock from light to heavy in your face tracks with Once Around at the end! Its a blast! Share to your friends and associates! You find the show all over the web! Itunes Iheart Amazon Music Podomatic and many more!!Halshack.com See you again soon for Rap Shack 12!High Rock Music Festival plans are in full swing for Summer 2024! More on that later!

Its time for SPRING and time for us to spring forward into action!! Time for Shacknation 11. New Reverbnation Campaign #6 is underway and almost near closing time. You got one more week to get your submissions into for this campaign for a shot at my show through the Reverbnation Opportunities Program! Weve had about 1500 submissions this go around and have chose 45 roughly for 3 shows! Shacknation 11 and 12 and Rapshack 12 coming soon!Ive been stagnant lately on life and the show! Its time for that to change! Its time to get motivated on more radio shows and starting my plans for a "Shack Hole" down at the Axe Hole here in Lexington, NC and the bigger picture of the High Rock Music Festival "goin down" here in my county (hopefully...planning stages) late Summer 2024. This show is full of surprises and quality talent!! 2nd track is a new comer from Austraila, Xanna Behn, and the 2nd artist to make my radar from the land down under. Shes got a potential pop hit on her hands! Its an earworm folks! Tomboy is no boy at all and shes got massive appeal feeling a bit lucky these days cause shes inflicted with the "Lucky Girl Syndrome"!! This is one of the more unique pop hits Ive heard in many many years. It mixes up about 6 genres in one song and is a throwback to multiple styles of artists from the 80s and 90s. Its a finely crafted tune and well worth worldwide exposure. Plenty more for you to enjoy from indie rock, pop, alt and some indie folk/blues thrown in the mix as well as The Slacksons are making a reappearance from all the way across the giant pond with their funky cool version of STORMY WEATHER! Love having the Brits on my show! You can find my show on some British radio stations as well like XRP and Discover Unsigned Radio!Thanks again to all of these quality artists! More to come from some of them in future shows as always the quality songs stay in rotation here on my show as we are building a new music universe (old school style) for the next generation of the industry!

DADS ROCK 2 feat. CAVO (new song) Its June, Its FATHER'S DAY month and DADS love rock in all its forms plus DADS just plain rock at life (most of us anyway..lol) In this episode you will hear from major rock band CAVO (former WB), BELOW 7 (Sony), MARQUIS of VAUDEVILLE (Dexter and Charmed) JR RICHARDS (former lead hit song Counting Blue Cars--DISHWALLA) plus Baltimore's #1 rock band CRASHING ATLAS (new Evanessence type band) also many other great bands!HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!Time for a story bio......... (I usually make these story bios off the cuff..lets see if I can work some magic here...lol)As Dads and as all people in general we sometimes find ourselves battling our own demons to be set free. Sometimes those battles can be lengthy and hard fought nights of depression and decay to the body spent enduring "100 Weeks in the Dark". In order to find your way to the light you may have to thrown down some "Kerosene" to fire up your path forward to a new life and possibly a new found love and support with feelings of bliss as you tread forward to that lovely emotional state of "Bliss Chemical". Be careful to not allow the negativity back in your life. As soon as things get better the "Wolves" come to tear apart everything that you love. Our younger "Millennial" friends, cousins, brothers and sisters, have had a tougher time at life than we Xers have in some respects but hats off to them for managing to survive this cold yet web connected world. They still remember a time when we didn't type out our hand written "Letters to Penelope". We never know what the future may hold. "Where We're Standing Now" may not necessarily be the place you're supposed to be. You may have to get "a Little High and a Little Low" before you find where to plant your roots as have I and many of us have from all walks of life. Many of us have found a "White Light" at the end of the tunnel in love and relationships whether it be lovers, friends, or family but sometimes those lights come in the form of powder burns when their words sting like "Bullets". It may make you feel like you are not being validated and going "Unnoticed" for your contribution. Take a second to think about how you respond or what your next move is. The world can be a huge scary place when facing it alone with your "Lonely Bones".This world is demanding, life is demanding, jobs are demanding, it can feel like its a bit too much and leaving us looking for some "Sanity in Madness" that is the state of today. In the end, life is what you make it. Go out there and conquer the world as I have so you can say look at "What I've Become" rather than "Falling" on your face so you will "Never Look Back" to your old life of negative mind state and hard times. This is a new world folks! I don't know what it means for us Xers and how we fit in but lets hear some great music and great bands while we bring you some "New Blood" to conquer the music industry!Thanks for tuning in and rocking out! Find our show on all major music services including IHEART radio, ITUNES, APPLE podcasts, DEEZER, AMAZON MUSIC and many more!Thanks for becoming a fan! 400 cities and 100 countries just love what we do over the course of the last 8 years!!www.HALSHACK.com

Well folks I had 13 mins to use on Amazon or lose it! So I'm using it to my advantage! UNDECIDED FUTURE could well be on their way to a MAJOR career in the music industry!Halshack is in the process of helping the band achieve their goals on stage and behind the scenes. I have become an integral part of the camp as we look to push forward together!!There WAS a VERY REAL possibility that the band would have been on the AMERICAN SONG CONTEST on NBC Spring 2022! BUT they were taken off the show to work with DRE and SNOOP! So good they just bypassed the competition all together!! Their future is looking mighty FRESH indeed!So here's a 13 minute mash up for the guys that will surely please avid music lovers of all types. 1. Summa Time (intro) with voice clips and show tags2.
