Back to the Future of Rock and Roll: A 97X Retro Rock Reunion
Advertisement
Celebrate the legacy of, as Rolling Stone magazine stated, "one of the most influential and fiercely independent radio stations in American broadcasting history." The 97X WOXY-FM signal that emanated from its unassuming station just outside of Oxford, Ohio from 1983 to 2004 might have been weak in geographic terms, but in terms of its place in the birth of alternative rock and roll, it was colossal. Join in on our panel discussion with former 97X DJs and station personnel as they reminisce on and evoke the electric atmosphere that permeated "The Future of Rock and Roll" and that led to the creation of a generation of rabid and loyal listeners.
The event includes a panel discussion for former 97X on air personalities moderated by station manager and DJ Steve "The Baker Man" Baker. Following the discussion, we'll roll out the red carpet for the audience and invite you to participate in an open Q&A session.
Note: We can't make any promises that Tom Cruise or Dustin Hoffman will show up (if you know, you know).
Want to meet the WOXY personalities up close and personal? Then consider purchasing the special VIP Ticket Package. The package includes a pre-show meet and greet, providing the opportunity to chat up the 97X gang, pose for some photos, ask some important probing questions, and have them sign any WOXY merch or swag or other Alt Rock item you provide. The package also includes exclusive treats and special VIP reserved seating for the show.
So join us and go Back to the Future of Rock and Roll!
