On this episode of Off the Record, Sharon talks local music with G.E. Long — also known as Gregory Long — guitarist, singer, songwriter, founder of Lone Crow Rebellion, and the voice behind the G.E. Long Band.

His new album Ain’t No Rain brings a working-man’s blues feel with gritty guitar, real-life stories, and songs about struggle, survival, and change. Sharon talks with G.E. about the move into this new chapter, the meaning behind the rain imagery, keeping blues and Americana alive, and why local music is always worth supporting.

The episode closes with a cut from Ain’t No Rain by the G.E. Long Band.

On this episode of Off the Record, I’m getting to know a Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania band that immediately caught my attention — Bloodklotz. They've pulled punk, metal, and grunge into something all their own. We talk influences, songwriting, and their track ‘Kamikaze.’  Once you hear their story, it makes perfect sense that a band called Bloodklotz plays with a bond that feels like family.

On this episode of Off The Record, we’re flipping the script. Normally, I sit down with artists making their own original music — but this time, it’s all about a cover band keeping the music we love alive right here in our area.

Meet Elk County's Star 69 — Kevin Dippold, Eric Leathers and Travis Zuchowski. They may be fairly new together as a band but their roots run deep in our local music scene.

Find out how they juggle family with band life and what it feels like stepping on stage to play the songs you already know by heart.

That’s all coming up — Off The Record with Star 69.

From Clarion, PA, Fuzzii blends psychedelic, folk, funk, and punk into a sound that’s loud, loose, and totally their own. In this episode, Sharon hangs with guitarist Matt, drummer Willie, and bassist Bryce to talk about their origins, the local scene, “The Reverend” nickname, Hakuna Matata, and what it really means to play without rules. They also dive into the story behind their original track Open Up—and what’s coming next for the band.

What do you get when you mix a one-man-band, an acoustic guitar and the soul of an unplugged rockstar? You get Jay Clue—street performer, singer-songwriter and the kind of guy who might just float past you on the Clarion River strumming a tune.

On this episode of Off the Record with Sharon Stewart, Jay shares his journey from back porch jams to bars, festivals, and yes, the occasional sidewalk. We talk hands-and-feet musicianship, the meaning behind his music and why sometimes the best stage… doesn’t have a stage at all.  Hit play and meet the man making music on his own terms.
