Ryan Lang
You've gotten to know Ryan Lang over the past several years as your credible (Yeah right!) morning news anchor on WONE. Now, he's cranking up your Saturday and Sunday nights with all the rock and roll you need!
Ryan's been to more concerts than he can remember, but that's not saying much because his memory is shot! He loves music, the outdoors, Highland Square, and just about everything else the Rubber City has to offer!
Tune in and get to know him Saturday and Sunday nights from 7 to Midnight on 97.5 WONE.

Anyway, during the visually stunning video and bluesy guitar riffs, Gibbons pays tribute to rock legends Jim Morrison, Keith Richards, and Gram Parsons. See if…
On this day, April 6, 1974, somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000 fans (as the story goes) gathered at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, California for what, at the time, was one of the loudest, largest, and baddest concerts EVER!!

Jadeveon Clowney to the Cleveland Brownies?!?! Yes, the man we asked to the dance last year and turned us down is back at our doorstep talking about maybe a second chance. The Browns offered Clowney a chance to play in Cleveland prior to the 2020 season, but he instead signed…

If your Browns fandom dates back to the team's heyday of the mid-1980's, you're familiar with the name Marty Schottenheimer. If not, first, shame on you, and second, here's a bit of a history lesson... Marty Schottenheimer was defensive coordinator for the Browns in 1980, officially taking over as head…

2020 has been rough on a lot people, but Ohioans more than others? If you're basing your answer the amount of booze we consumed in the Buckeye State last year, then yeah, maybe! According to the data from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control, sales of hard liquor were up…

Perhaps one of the most tragic stories in Rock and Roll lore is the story of Syd Barrett, founding member of Pink Floyd. Syd, whose given name was Roger Keith Barrett, named the band and was the original frontman for the band he co-founded in 1965. His short-lived musical career…
