Happy 30th, Redbeard!
• Today marks a very special milestone for North American syndicated Rock radio show and website In The Studio with Redbeard: The Stories Behind History’s Greatest Rock Bands — the weekly hour-long show celebrates its 30th year of national radio syndication! In The Studio launched on June 27,1988, hosted by Redbeard and featuring Crosby, Stills & Nash as the inaugural guests.
In The Studio celebrates its 30th anniversary all summer with special rock star interview content features and contest giveaways on its weekly national broadcast show, website and social media. In addition, In The Studio music fans will have a chance to vote for their favorite artist interview programs from the past 30 years on the In The Studio Facebook page.
Redbird (left) reflects on the reason behind the program’s longevity and continued success, saying, “Thirty years ago, when original In The Studio Executive Producer Stephen R. Smith conceived of bringing the superstars of rock to radio every single week through one-on-one interviews about the stars’ most popular music, he was keenly aware that the rock audience had matured. Now the audience wanted an intimate, direct relationship with the musicians who actually created the soundtrack to their lives, lifting the curtain on the ‘Wizards of Rock.’ Over that time the innate desire of the fans to get closer to the flame of inspiration has only intensified. In The Studio rockumentaries have revealed new secrets and breathed new life into the last half century of contemporary music while Dan Rather was getting his make-up done.”
