Retro Rock Throwbacks

Kevin Gallagher in throwback mode

A new feature this year is the Retro Rock Throwback. Produced by audio/video documentarian & photographer Kevin Gallagher, these pieces provide a look back to the historical foundation of today's rock music scene. Kevin assembled them from interviews he's done and archived material harvested from the wilderness of the internet. Some additional editing was done by Peter Bochan. These pieces were used during WPKN's "Under the Influence" specials, a look at how chemicals have influenced culture. Keven can be heard on WPKN alternating Mondays, 4-7 PM.
