April 4, 2012 – Esperanza Spalding is a groovy chick. I mean, really, when she’s in the room, everyone else disappears and I’m talkin’ more than that big “love-sculpture” hair. She’s the type of musician you might walk up to at a party, ask about her music, and walk away three hours later regretting the question. This lady has a vision so you better have a seat. 
April 3, 2012 – Great news for Pink Floyd fans. After a slew of re-releases last year there’s more to come with the DVD documentary on the making of another classic album, ‘Wish You Were Here.’

January 23, 2012 - John Mayer has been out of the spotlight since he cancelled numerous gigs last year to undergo throat surgery.

Sept, 2011 – On her third album Colbie Caillat has decided to strategically give us an uptempo summer-vibe. It still sounds like her smash debut “Coco” but this time it’s Colbie with caffeine and it’s positive and fun.

The Air-Com Radio Network Ready to Launch into Rock on October 3rd The Air-Com Radio Network is proud to announce the launch of their first Rock Radio Station – Rock History Book. The name may sound familiar to stations in North America since it was also the name of a 30-second feature heard on multiple stations from 1985-1989. “This will be Rock history on a whole other level,” say John Beaudin, Operations Manager of Air-Com, “I think this station is a way for me to come back to my roots in Rock.” Popular writer Steve Burgess was the first host of the syndicated, short version, of Rock History Book in 1985. Later Beaudin took over the feature until 1989. The Internet station will feature music from every decade of Rock n Roll but will focus mostly on the seventies first. “This is a station for anyone who grew up in the sixties, seventies and eighties,” say Beaudin, “But we will certainly also play new music including the latest Blink-182, Foo Fighters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” One of the stations slogans is “Rock History Book, because music history starts- Right Now!” Another interesting fact about Rock History book is the station will not play any slow tunes. “We might slow down a tiny bit for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd,” says Beaudin, “But really this is a kick-ass type of station and it’s all about a constant energy.” Rock History Book will feature both smart and iPhone apps for listening on the go. The Air-com radio station currently streams the popular Smooth AC, R&B/Pop station, Smooth Jazz Now. The company also consults and builds Internet radio stations from the ground up for their clients. For more information contact John Beaudin at (917) 310-7625.
