We had our friend Dennis McDonald on last year, where he came on the show and played us tracks from 6 of his favorite bands who have graced the Cellar Stage at Alturas bar on 4th street, Dennis’ dream job here in the biggest little city. The episode was a hit, and some listeners wanted more shows like that. Well, here you go.

This weeks episode is brought to you by The Cellar at Alturas’ live show booker, sound man, public relations director, and a local musicians best friend, Dennis McDonald . He and his son Uriah stopped by ye olde Dogwater Studios to discuss the ins and outs, highs and lows, ups and downs of a ten year run putting on shows of all kinds. It’s a great story about a passionate music man who is in it for all the right reasons.

We hear tracks from local bad-asses Grimedog, Murderock, Machine Gun Vendetta, KANAWHA, The Grimtones, and Elephant Rifle! Each track we hear comes with a great story, often with a personal, and a touching reason behind the pick.
