OSH Radio Interview @ Dewey Beach Music Conference
Where to start:
I was born to a chic who is stuck in the 60's. This woman who put a 8 Track of Fleetwood Macs "Rumors" in my hand and a bottle in the other (What was in the bottle I will never tell). Growing up in the 70's was a totally electrifying experience for me. Ever since I remember I was listening to the likes of Steely Dan, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young, Hendrix, The Doors, The O'Jays. Etc Etc. I think you get the point!
Anyway having listened to everything under the sun I got lost in music. It energized me when I needed it, and made me tremble with emotion when I least expected. Growing up mom had a boyfriend whom just increased my love of music! Yeah you guessed it he was a musician whom I am still very close too Bob Kerly, Lionel de Bernard & David Worthington of Double Duece & Old Scool Band. And for you Delawareians I have to include Mike Hines & FVK (Fearless Vampire Killers). Anyway he bought me my 1st guitar a true Gibson Epiphone not a Japanese knockoff. Yeah I thought of being a Rock Star but instead became a juvenile delinquent & roady!
Well one grows up (a little) I lied about my age and landed a job in radio! (Back in the day you could do it and get away with it!) I took a internship at WYSP and then worked briefly at WUSL Power 99 both located in Philadelphia, Pa (until my age was found out!) I learned allot about the music industry and met some great people along the way. But as luck would have it I moved to glorious Palmyra Pa where I met Scott Donato who helped me get in at WCTX 92.1 a oldies station which was unique to say the least. Well long story short I was let go after 6 months for changing and breaking format but hey thats Rock n Roll!
Shortly after I sold my guitars and Equipment and joined the US Army. Then I ran into Matt & John of S.O.S. (whom I have know for 17+ years now) at Ray Rossi's Birthday Bash. Well after being swayed by not only them but also some other friends & musicians I have started Fetzer Music Management to help both local cover bands and original bands. With all aspects from bookings,advertising, promotions, negotiations, sponsorships, etc etc...
