Joe Satriani's "Earth Tour" is coming to Kalamazoo, but the guitar God didn't just start out touring, he began his career teaching some of the biggest names in Rock and Roll.

We had the chance to chat with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's drummer Jeff Plate and his beginnings as a musician. Jeff was once a metal drummer for the band Savatage, before becoming a founding member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which he still performs for to this day.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's Guitarist Rickey Medlocke joins Meatball & Mark Frankhouse, The Rocker Morning Show ahead of his performance at the Allegan County Fair to talk about his Native American heritage, ordering a Meatball & Mark sandwich at Subway, and how he almost left music for radio but had his mind changed with an enticing offer from Lynyrd Skynyrd of $1.50 and Snickers bar.

The Rocker Morning Show's Meatball talks with Kalamazoo Ribfest Headliner Wes Scantlin of Puddle of Mudd about performing at the festival, the early days of PoM 30 years ago, and maybe some new music!

This year Chicago is touring with The Beach Boys founding member Brian Wilson and they'll be wrapping their tour up in Clarkston, MI at Pine Knob on July 26th, which is apparently one of James' favorite venues to play and always has fond memories every time they come back to the venue.
