More Info:
Collectively, we, The Radio Stars, have been blessed with the gifts on music, humor, a solid work ethic and a positive attitude towards life. It is an honor for us to share some of that with you by way of this album of some of our favorite gospel tunes. We are thankful for the privilege of making music with friends, old and new, as we apply our experience and craft to create this music and stand in front of the people we entertain. The Radio Stars are: "Magic" Merrill Piepkorn, Fargo, ND. In addition to his "magic" harmonica work, Merrill plays acoustic and electric guitars. Gregg "Smokey" Temple, Mendota Heights, MN. Smokey plays acoustic, electric, Dobro, and pedal steel guitars. He also serves a Musical Director for the band, arranging much of the material. Smokey also recorded and mixed the 'Headin' Home' CD. Roger "R.P." Sell, Hawley, MN. RP is just the bass guitar player for The Radio Stars and provided his cabinet shop as the main recording facility for tis effort. Loy Larson, Moorhead, MN. Loy is a world-class, award-winning fiddle and mandolin player. All four of the Radio Stars sing. The Radio Stars roots reach back to 1972 when Temple and Piepkorn began playing together while students at Concordia College, Moorhead, MN where they performed at local coffee houses and bars. They continued their musical relationship in the regionally popular band Skunk Hollow, founded in 1974 and headquartered in the Twin Cities. Piepkorn left the group in 1978, returning to Fargo where he hooked up with Roger to form the popular club band, Wang Dang Doodle. In the time between then and now, RP, Smokey and Magic have reunited several times, most recently as The Radio Stars. Since 2005 they have been performing regularly, playing a variety of special events and venues in the region. In 2009, they were a featured guest on Garrison Keillor's 'A Prairie Home Companion'. Merrill has since launched his own traveling radio variety show - 'Dakota Air - The Radio Show', now in it's third year. We hope that you enjoy "Headin' Home" as much as we enjoyed making it. Thank you for being part of the experience, and may this music bring you moments of joy and peace and a few smiles too! May you hold these songs in your heart for a long time to come. The Radio Stars.
