WHO IS CONCERT BLAST?
Mike Arnold, Brian Hasbrook, and Tom Thompson. Three guys who grew up together in the Nashville, TN area. These guys have attended hundreds (if not over a thousand) concerts. Everytime the guys would get together with friends, they would all want to know about the shows they've seen and found themselves discussing these concerts for long periods of time.

Mike thought a music talk show would make a great radio show. After failing to convince radio stations/companies that this format could be good for radio, he gave up. A couple of years later, Mike was introduced to podcasting. He approached Brian and Tom about the idea of discussing concerts on a podcast and they said let's do it! Concert Blast formed a family friendly podcast and the first podcast was uploaded in May of 2005.
By the end of 2008, Mike Arnold decided the work was out weighing the fun and pay, so he decided to hang up his podcasting hat. Mike's vision was to see Concert Blast to be a syndicated radio show or to have a corporate sponsor.

Concert Blast consists mainly of the Classic Rock genre, but not limited to it. Concert Blast consistently stays in the Top 100 overall podcasts on the Podcast Alley Chart (from approx.50,000) and usually in the Top 10 of the Music Section. The classic rock section of about.com has recognized Concert Blast as one of the Top 5 Classic Rock podcasts (the other four were radio stations). Currently the guys have had over 80 concert reviews, 40 artist interviews, and numerous music discussion shows with their show listened to all over the world having approximately 10,000 downloads a month.
