8/21: MAIDEN EVENT IN NYC TBA SOON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA, IOWA THIS SUNDAY, MORE

Just came back from a couple days in DC with my family doing the tourist thing with my kids. I live about 4 hours from DC but never took the time to really check it out. Amazing place. Had a private VIP tour of the Capitol and FBI which was awesome. Want to give huge thanks to Doug Davenport & Elliot Berke for all the hook ups and hospitality. If you’ve never been seeing this city is something I would really suggest if you find the time. Lot’s to see for sure and we only scratched the surface in a day and a half.

I am hours away from announcing a very cool event for my NYC audience in NYC 9/1 regarding Iron Maiden! Save the date! The event will be free and details to be posted here very very soon!

TONS of new music out or coming out soon. I hope you guys take the time to seek out what you like and support it. Way too much to even mention it all here now. As always I will play (as I have for 33 years!) a great variety of it in both of my radio shows including on my syndicated FM weekly show. That premieres tonight 11P ET on Q104.3 NYC and WAAF Boston. My current favorites are the new Winery Dogs and Last In Line. Neither are out yet but loving them. Just got the full new Maiden and will listen soon. Remember my radio shows also stream live free using iheartradio app or for AAF at www.waaf.com Full list of all stations under Live & On The Air on my site.

My next live appearance is this Sunday hosting the rock show at the Iowa State Fair. I fly into Iowa tomorrow night. Look forward to seeing you if attending. I’ll try and get over to the merch both to say hi when I can. Merch will have my shirts for sale as well. All confirmed appearances on the home page.

Huge response to my new podcast with Bill Ward! Hear it now free on Itunes or www.podcastone.com . Just search The Eddie Trunk Podcast.

Finally Happy Birthday to my son Raymond, and also Dana Rosen who does the news on this site. Both celebrate 8/22! Dana has been a HUGE help for years bringing you all the music news and donating her efforts to this site. Please take a moment to wish her a happy birthday in comments tomorrow if you can.
