The Show

John Schlitt is a name that, for many people conjures up memories of a hard rockin' band from the midwest called Head East. I think their biggest hit was Never Been Any Reason, which is still played by classic rock stations around the country. John was one of the founding members, the lead singer, of Head East in August of 1969, but left the band to go to school not long after, only to return in 1973, after earning a degree in civil engineering. Head East has a reputation for putting on unbelievable shows. High energy, high volume, rockin' music, that crowds love.

Several years later, as John relates in today's show, the already award winning Christian rock band, Petra, called and asked him to join them as their new lead singer.

Petra played their last gig in 2007, but John Schlitt has released his third solo effort with "The Grafting". Listen to the show to hear John tell his story, talk about this great new project, and hear some of the songs.
