Last weekend was the third of the three birthday episodes of Rock 50.  They celebrated Bill’s 70th birthday.  If you missed it, you missed an excellent episode.   Before we get to the recap, a short announcement about Rock 50.  There will be no July episode.  The next episode is TBA.  Keep your eyes peeled here, we will announce the next date when we have it.

First is the playlist – direct from the studio and Bill’s staff.  You can download the entire playlist here.  It has an amazing coverage of all kinds of music.  Check it out, you’ll enjoy all of this!

Second is this video – which shows some highlights from the show.

Finally, you can check out the playlist on Spotify if you use it.  We have the playlist available as a playlist from Bill’s Spotify account.  There were two songs that were played that were not on Spotify, and couldn’t be included.  Those two songs are “Jack’s Land” from the first Bill Ward Band album, “Ward One”.   The other song is “The Wall of Death” from Bill’s most recent Bill Ward Band album, “Accountable Beasts”.

Hi Everyone!

Our final birthday show airs on Saturday, June 2, 2018, starting at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. It’ll be a variety of music spanning five decades, maybe more. Songs that I’ve loved all my life, and we’re packing in as much as possible for the third and final 70th Birthday Show. If you like Metal, Blues and all things in between, check us out.

Rock forever and ever and ever.

Hi Everyone,

Rock 50 airs on Saturday, May 12, 2018. It’s the second birthday show in a series of three. This show comes after my 70th birthday on 5/5/18. We’re playing across-the-board music – songs that span my lifetime – so you will hear Rock ‘n’ Roll, Pop, Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, and all kinds of things in between: songs that have stayed with me since my childhood. I hope you can check us out.

Rock forever and ever,
Bill

H! Everyone,

H! Everyone,

Rock 50 Halloween show will air on Saturday, October 28^th, 2017. We’ve got all the usual Hardcore Metal bands, kicking ass for you, and I’ve thrown in some twists and turns, and new stuff, too.  Check us out – if you like Metal, Hard Rock and just plain great songs, Rock 50 has it for you.

Have the kids wear something bright if you’re out trick-or-treating so the cars can see them, and we can see them too.  Have a spooky, safe night.

Rock forever and ever,

Bill
