Episode 790 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show marks the much-anticipated return of The Anxiety Effect, a dynamic and powerful band that has already made waves on previous episodes 652 and 707. This time, the band joins host Bill Domiano to discuss their brand-new single, The Lost and Found

In Episode 789 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, host Bill Domiano sits down with Dan Stonerook, an accomplished singer-songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica player whose music blends acoustic blues, folk traditions, and heartfelt storytelling. Known for weaving his own personal experiences and working-class perspective into every song, Dan’s stripped-down, authentic style sets him apart in today’s independent music scene. As highlighted by Pennsylvania Musician Magazine’s Jim Price, “Dan incorporates his personal experiences and observations, stories and blue-collar realities into his own distinctive, stripped-down sound.” This authenticity resonates deeply with audiences, making his performances both relatable and unforgettable. During the episode, Dan and Bill discuss the roots of his songwriting, how his personal journey shapes his music, and the influences that inspire his craft. With a style often compared to Steve Earle and Ray Wylie Hubbard, Dan carries the soul of the 60’s and 70’s singer-songwriter era while infusing it with a modern edge. Audiences who have seen Dan perform know he brings more than just music to the stage—he delivers stories. At the Rosedale Fall Festival in Penn Hills, “Dan Stonerook on guitar and harmonica entertained the audience with his unique blend of acoustic blues and storytelling,” wrote Lillian Dedomenic of Trib Live. His ability to captivate crowds with both original songs and carefully chosen cover material reflects the depth and range of his artistry. Listeners of this episode will get an inside look at how Dan develops his setlists, how he chooses songs that complement his originals, and how he crafts a performance that feels both timeless and deeply personal. From his earliest inspirations to his current projects, Dan opens up about the journey of being an independent musician, the challenges of connecting with audiences, and the rewards of staying true to one’s artistic vision. If you’re a fan of acoustic blues, Americana, folk-rock, or authentic singer-songwriter music, Episode 788 is a must-listen. Dan’s storytelling, honesty, and unique sound embody the spirit of the Pennsylvania Rock Show: showcasing local, independent artists who deserve recognition far beyond their hometown stages.

JD Wolf is a one man solo project based in Pittsburgh, PA by Jason Barna. It was born out of the desire to finally get my music out there after being sick of failed bands thanks to others lack of drive and ambition. I am a self taught musician that plays everything you hear in JD Wolf although I am primarily a guitarist and singer. I’ve been playing since I was 13 years old, and I’m 41 now. Over those years I’ve been in various bands such as Karma Kast and April’s Fool/Steel Mana (the latter being with Ian Hemi). After years of go no where bands I decided to do everything myself just so I could actually get my music heard. JD Wolf officially started up in 2021 with my first 2 releases being in 2022. I am currently working on my album “No Signal” which will hopefully be finished by Fall of 2025.
