WRCT: a radio station

German guitar legend and founding member of The Scorpions, Uli Jon Roth, will be joining your Rockin’ Attorney, Eric Jackson Lurie on Court’s in Session, Thursday October 16 shortly after 8:00 p.m.

One of the premier rock guitarists in the world, Uli Jon Roth left the Scorpions to pursue his own vision of classically oriented guitar rock in the late 1970s.  Since then he has recorded numerous albums cementing his legacy as one of the greatest rock guitar players of all time.  Armed with his Sky guitar — featuring extra strings and extra scalloped frets — Uli is coming to Pittsburgh, November 12 to Jergel’s with a full band and a string quartet for his Pictures of Destiny tour.  Uli and Eric will discuss his one of a kind guitar, his upcoming recordings entitled “Requiem for an Angel” and his half classical/half rock concert here in Pittsburgh!

Don’t miss this interview!  Live, Thursday, October 16 just past 8:00 p.m. with a replay Sunday, October 19th at 10:00 p.m. right here on WRCT, 88.3 FM and streaming at WRCT.org.

Sunday, October 12 at 10:00 p.m., tune in to WRCT for a tribute to John Lodge of The Moody Blues. John passed away on October 10, 2025.  A member of the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame, John was actively recording music and touring at the time of his passing.

During Sunday’s Court’s in Session, your Rockin’ Attorney, Eric Jackson Lurie, will replay excerpts from two Court’s in Session programs from 2022 and 2024 during which Eric and John chatted on the air.

From “Just a Singer in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band” to “Isn’t Life Strange” or “Nights in White Satin,”  John Lodge’s music formed the soundtrack to many boomers’ lives.  Tune in Sunday night at 10:00 p.m. on 88.3 FM or streaming at WRCT.org. to celebrate the musical heritage of John Lodge.

This week on Forbes Avenue, we’re airing a conversation WRCT’s Mandorichard (aka Richard Gordon) had with Peter Hay and Sali Zielachowski from Twin Vision Music Promotion about the current state of the music business.

Peter and Sali talked about Twin Vision’s role in helping independent radio stations like WRCT discover independent artists and new music; how the music and music radio industries have changed — and stayed the same; about different levels of success artists can have in the music industry; vinyl records; and other fascinating topics. You’ll even learn why it took The Beatles an extra year to find success in America!

Music fans, musicians, and radio fans will all enjoy this conversation!
