Drumroll please….Big news to share with you. Eric Simna and Jason Meyers talked it over and we decided we’ll be welcoming guests back to NEORocks! Why are we doing this? The purpose of this radio show has always been to shine the spotlight on the musicians here in Northeast Ohio as well as the amazing venues we have here in town. We want to get back to this purpose, with in studio Covid protocols being followed of course.

We have a very limited number of spots open for interviews over the coming months. If YOU have a concert you’re looking to promote or an album/EP release you’re looking to have heard, please do either of the following two:

1. Donate now! Go to WJCU.org and click “Pledge online.” Don’t forget to select NEORocks from the drop down option when asked which show your donating towards.

There’s no about it, we’re the little guys in this fight. NEORocks is up against some heavyweights for this years best radio show in Northeast Ohio competition. Help push us over the top by voting in the Cleveland Scene best of Cleveland 2020 by this Friday!

10/27/2020

We want to send a sincere thank you for nominating NEORocks! on WJCU 88.7FM as best radio show in Cleveland in the Best of Cleveland Scene 2020! We’re blown away to be in the same category as Rovers Morning Glory and the Alan Cox Show on WMMS, Bull and Fox on 92.3 FM, and All Things Considered on WCPN. This nomination is a testament to the amazing music scene we have in Northeast Ohio. Make your vote heard here! vvvvvv

As far as timing goes, launching the Best of Cleveland 2020 poll in March only for the full hammer of the coronavirus pandemic to come down days later wasn't ideal. Scene's annual survey and awards, after all, celebrate the very best reasons and places for Clevelanders to get together. And that's ex...

10/20/2020

It was just brought to my attention that NEORocks is up against Rover’s Morning Glory, The Alan Cox Show, Bull and Fox, and Sound of Ideas as a finalist for best radio show in Cleveland in Scene’s Best of 2020! I just spoke to Eric Simna on the phone and we are both speechless...and in case you’re wondering, two radio dj’s speechless on the phone is rather interesting...
This little radio show of ours has always been and will always be about the music made right here in Northeast Ohio. If you’ve sent us your music, if you’ve donated to us during Radiothon, if you’ve been a part of the audience for our annual Christmas concert, if you’ve attended a Blizzard Bash concert supporting the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland, if you’ve simply tuned in on a Monday night between 8 and 10 pm - This nomination is about you and the music family we’re all a part of here in Cleveland.
Much love to all of you who have supported us ❤️

Jason here- I wanted to share this video that will hopefully put a smile on your face this Friday. This is a song I started to write while sitting next to my daughter in the NICU back in February. Taylor was born six weeks early on February 15th and spent 17 days in the NICU at Hillcrest Hospital. The doctors and nurses were absolutely fantastic. We promised them we would bring Taylor back in to see them after a couple of months. Considering the current circumstances, this was not possible. So I wrote this song that's dedicated to them as a thank you and as a digital time capsule for our family. Hope you enjoy. Have a great day!

We just talked about whether or not we should have our radio show tomorrow night. After this talk we decided we WILL be on the air tomorrow! This is our way of doing our part to shine the light on this incredible music scene through this dark time. We will not be live in the studio, we will pre record tomorrow afternoon utilizing technology so we can stay at home. NEORocks will run as scheduled from 8-10 pm. We love all of you and all of the creative ways you’ve used to lift us all up with music through this period of isolation. So, musician friends, this is what we need from you!

1. Send us ALL of your new music to [email protected]

2. Tell us in the comments all about your virtual shows this week. Date, time, and how to listen in. Anything else we should know about? Virtual art events, virtual community events, etc? Leave it all in the comments below.

It’s WJCU 88.7FM Radiothon time until Sunday night at 11:59! They ask for donations once a year to keep their good thing going, and they are one of the biggest supporters of local and independent music on the radio. Jason Meyers and Eric Simna have had our backs for years with NEORocks!, let’s have theirs by spreading the word and giving if you can!
In December, we teamed up with Hunger Network, NEORocks!, and WJCU 88.7FM to bring you a virtual version of their annual Blizzard Bash fundraiser. We CRUSHED the donations goal and celebrated the holiday season of giving in the most generous possible way! Thank you for working with us to keep traditions alive despite 2020's many challenges.
