Since the early 70′s ELO has been more than just a band. They became a global phenomenon selling more than 50 million records world wide. Today their music is more popular than ever and XRT is proud to celebrate all that is ELO with The Electric Light Brunch Sunday morning at 10am with your host, Johnny Mars.

Roll over Beethoven, it’s gonna be a Showdown! Join Johnny Mars for this delightful hour dedicated to the progressive rock genius minds of Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and the classical rockers in the string section. Expect candid interviews, behind the scenes anecdotes and, of course, lots of great music from ELO!

Tune in at 10am, right after Breakfast With The Beatles.

I thought you’d just skip April Fool’s Day since it fell on Sunday. To my delight, I was wrong!

I didn’t think you’d be doing an April Fool’s Day joke since it fell on Sunday. To my delight, I was wrong!

Awesome. They are a natural and logical extension of Breakfast with the Beatles. Plus Johnny Mars is pitch perfect for the show.
Bill

Enjoyed the “brunch” music. Good April 1st.

Even as a joke, its too much. Please stop the madness. Happy April Fools Day.

What the check. I’m glad April 1st comes only once a year.

One of my favorite bands hosted by a quick witted dj during a great timeslot for the genre…huge fan!.

Yes, yes – oh, my G-d, YES! Continue the show! I haven’t been this happy since I saw Melvyn Gale and Hugh McDowell play cellos OVER THIER HEADS at the Uptown Theater in 197?. Fantastic – next week, play 10538 Overture or Kuima off the first album – thank you!

it would not matter if the featured artist was “Emil the Howling Armadillo” as long as Johnny Mars is the host … Johnny rocks and deserves lots of respect … and he knows his tunes … all the best to everybody at XRT which to me is WAY more than a radio station …
Carol and David

thought we missed it! thanks for keeping up the tradition, always fun to figure it out
