Denny Somach
Denny has the distinction of being one of the originators of the ‘Classic Rock’ radio broadcasting format; instrumental in developing NBC’s rock radio network, The Source and producing video programming for MTV, USA, CBS, Comedy Central and Fox (among myriad other accomplishments). “I loved what I did so much, I saved everything associated with it. Never threw anything away.” That collection became the center of his archives, which became both a source for documentary and podcast producers.
Episode Wrap-Ups
Each episode covers a wide array of classic rock genres, from rock anthems to hidden gems, and highlights personal stories from musicians who shaped rock history. Denny not only plays the songs we love but also dives deep into their backstories, offering context that fans may not have heard before. Whether it’s learning about the bands, discovering the significance of the tracks, or reminiscing about rock legends who are still performing or have left a lasting legacy, Rock and Roll for Grownups takes listeners on a journey back to the golden era of rock.
