School of Rock on KBYS

For this week’s School of Rock Show, we shine our artist spotlight on rock superstar Jimi Hendrix. His mainstream career may have lasted just four short years, yet he is widely hailed as one of the most influential guitarists ever to have graced the stage. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is surely accurate in its assessment of Hendrix as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.” Jimi Hendrix lives on through his staggeringly innovative music, which continues to delight generations of new fans in the 21st Century. Catch our “Artist Spotlight: Jimi Hendrix Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

Autumn is a season that gives magical feelings. Some consider it the most beautiful, yet most underrated season of all. It brings a sense of nostalgia and sentiment as the sky gradually lowers and the leaves turn into fiery colors, leaving a scent of mustiness to the surroundings. That sentiment goes perfectly with the right autumn playlist, and what better radio show to bring you into that cozy, nostalgic mood than the School of Rock? Catch our “Fall Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

Rock music and classical music might seem like they would be completely opposed to one another. One champions outrageousness, guitars and excess, while the other oozes refinement, poise and good taste - but there are a surprisingly large number of instances where these two adversarial worlds cross over. Join us as we explore the heady combination of rock and classical! Catch our “Classical Music in Rock Show” this Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.
