History will be made this Monday October 13th on NEORocks, the all local music show here on WJCU. Tune in from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to hear a live full-concert performance from Kent, Ohio’s The Speedbumps.

But you’re probably thinking how are we going to get all that music equipment into the relatively cramped quarters of our radio station and manage to play at the same time?! Worry not WJCU fans, we’ll be broadcasting live from the newely renovated and state-of-the-art Klein Television Studio on the campus of John Carroll University. This means you’ll get top-notch sound, excellent entertainment, and not to mention enjoyable hosts in a neat two-hour package.

And this is just the beginning! We’ll be bringing you concerts like this in the future with our NEORock Sessions mini-concert series.

Don’t miss our first session! That’s this Monday, October 13th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., only on WJCU 88.7FM and streaming worldwide on wjcu.org/listen.
