The Encore: Tim Lockemy

Tuesday, September 17th, 2024 by Liz Kosik

by Liz Kosik ’25

WLOY presents “The Encore,” where we spotlight our favorite artists that have visited the station. This week: Tim Lockemy!

Tim Lockemy is an indie rock singer/songwriter and lifestyle model hailing from the Baltimore area, with over 25 years in the music scene. He started off in high school as the frontman and guitarist for Ten Penny Thread, a band that pulled heavily from the 90s rock scene with influences like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. After high school, Lockemy’s musical style shifted toward the 80s, drawing from artists like Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears, which led to the release of his first EP, “Standing Alone,” in 2005.

Quarantine Takeover – Queen Kyla Vera

Tuesday, October 13th, 2020 by The Professor

This week we’re joined by the amazing Queen Kyla Vera of Metalachi! She’s the rocking metal violin powerhouse soloist you won’t believe unless you see her live. We were lucky to have the monsters of mariachi come by the station once upon a pre-COVID time and had a blast with them all (Check out their Studio Seizure!). Kyla is highlighting some great music this week – all bands and artists that she has performed with (or Metalachi has) including some incredible violinists and some rock legends (Suicidal Tendancies! Lamb of God!) so tune in and check it out. Luckily her crazed kitten Gizmo stopped trying to eat the microphone and resorted to just attacking Kyla so the show could be finished… We can’t wait for Metachi to stomp it’s way back east again from LA soon!!
