From The Board Ep 16 – ‘Round The World On A Stage
This quarantine has got us feeling a serious case of live music withdrawals. It’s been months since anyone at Balcony Radio has gotten their faces rocked off in person.

This time out, we knock you on your socially distant asses with some of the best concert performances we could find. Stay home, wear your mask, and let Balcony Radio help you with your live music needs.
101 Series Lesson 145 – Van Halen/Hagar
Help us as we join together both the Roth and Hagar eras to praise him: EVH. Many people have picked up the guitar, but few pushed at its boundaries like one Mr. Edward Van Halen. It’s Lesson 145 of the 101 Series, and this time out we’re playing the tastiest licks tapped out over multiple generations of rock kick-assery. From the humble streets of Pasadena, to arenas everywhere, spark one up for Eddie. Turn this up to 11, let the neighbors know about it.
