    About Radio London <http://www.reverbnation.com/radiolondon> : The Radio London Band has been rockin' Colorado since 1994. The band has opened for Jefferson Starship, E.L.O., The Marshall Tucker Band, Canned Heat, Head East and more. Radio London just released their 2nd CD, with the help and participation of all the new and original players. Titled “Let There Be Life”. Founding member, leader of the band, serious songwriter and drummer extraordinaire: Joey McGarry is at the helm. Singer/songwriter; Fairlight 7 Jruhmz (pronounced drumz) is our new lead vocalist and amazing Front Woman. She puts her whole heart and soul into the show. Danny Read is still rockin’ that base with the beat that keeps us solid. Scott Harrison, our outstanding lead guitarist, puts his dynamics to work and is a wonder to watch. His original licks and tuning round out the on stage performance of The Radio London Band. Justin Fischer is our sound engineer and computer wizard. Without his help, the CD wouldn’t be.
