Carl Cafarelli

Carl Cafarelli is the co-host (with Dana Bonn) of the long-running weekly broadcast and internet radio show This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. When he's not playing records and yelling into the microphone, Cafarelli has been writing about rock 'n' roll, pop music, and pop culture for nearly forty years. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame cited his 1994 interviews with the Ramones as “essential reading," and Not Lame Media referred to Cafarelli as “one of the world’s most respected power pop scholars.” Cafarelli has written for Goldmine, DISCoveries, The Syracuse New Times, The Buffalo News, Rhino Records, Warner Brothers Records, BMG Europe, and more. Cafarelli maintains his daily blog Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do). Cafarelli has written short fiction for AHOY Comics, and contributed to the books Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth, Shake Some Action, MusicHound Rock, and Lost In The Grooves. Cafarelli lives with his wife Brenda in the suburbs outside Syracuse, New York. Their daughter Meghan is Carl and Brenda's proudest accomplishment.
