101 RIFFS OF SUMMER

We are now through the middle of September and the leaves are changing and you can feel fall in the air. While that’s great for many reasons, it’s also very upsetting. Unfortunately, the arrival of fall means the departure of summer. That means we’re nearing the end of the 101 Riffs Of Summer on 101 WRIF.

This week was another gem with the 101 Riffs Of Summer. We had some classics that spanned across several decades and generations. With Riff Fest right around the corner, happening this Saturday, it felt right having Tigercub on the playlist. They’ll be one of the bands joining us at Pine Knob this year.

Also featured on the playlist this week were bands like Tigercub, Deftones, and more. Looking at the playlist, we covered all types of rock and roll this week. We had some hard rock, a little hair metal, and everywhere in-between. Make sure to listen Monday through Friday at 2pm when Jade will play the daily “Riff Of Summer!” Plus, you’ll get two “riffs” on Two-Fer Tuesdays doubling up on some of your favorite WRIF bands.

Previously, we’ve highlighted bands like Rage Against The Machine, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, and more. The catalogue goes deep and it goes way back, covering all different aspects and angles of rock and roll throughout the years. Great “Riffs” happened back in the ’60s, and they’re still happening today. With the 101 Riffs of Summer, we hope to cover all of your favorites spanning across multiple generations and decades.

If you missed any of the “Riffs” this week, check out the playlist below, along with the playlist from previous weeks, as well. Then, continue reading to hear about an awesome contest with a rocking Grand Prize! Time is quickly running out, and I’d hate for you to miss out on this opportunity!
