An Evening with Eddie Trunk

Eddie Trunk is a 40 year music industry veteran who has built a reputation for being one of the most respected personalities in the world of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.  Eddie has spent time as a record executive and has also worked in artist management, but has really found his calling as a broadcaster. He is heard live daily on Sirius/XM Faction Talk (103) Monday-Friday 2-4PM CDT taking calls, doing interviews, and providing commentary on all things rock with a wide variety of the biggest names in rock.

Eddie will tell stories from his over 40 years in rock radio and television, as well as host a Question and Answer session, and take questions from the audience for his famous "Stump The Trunk!" segment from his hit VH1 Classic show "That Metal Show". 

Individual Seats downstairs and on the upstairs balcony (first come, first served) are just $30.

All tickets include FREE BEER from our friends at Tupps Brewery (ages 21 and older)

Our friends from Breast Cancer Can Stick It will also be here providing information about their amazing charity work and their Drummathon 2026 Event, for which The Guitar Sanctuary and The Love Life Foundation are proud sponsors.

Eddie began his broadcasting career in 1983, after convincing the execs at his favorite local radio station, WDHA in NJ, to allow him to produce a hard rock/heavy metal specialty show – one of the first of it’s kind. That show continues to this day under the banner of Eddie Trunk Rocks (also labeled Friday Night Rocks in NYC). “Eddie Trunk Rocks” originates out of New York City, the number one radio market, on Q104.3 and is syndicated nationally and heard on more than 35, stations including other top 10 markets such as WAAF in Boston. The 3 hour weekly show includes new and classic hard rock music hand picked by Eddie as well as news making artist interviews and more. It is also available on various streams free.

Eddie also hosts Eddie Trunk Live, a weekly live music, talk & interview show every Monday night (6 – 10p ET/ 3-7 Pacific) on SiriusXM satellite radio channel 39 (Hair Nation), which is branded “Trunk Nation” during his program. The show has become appointment listening throughout America and Canada due to its in depth interviews, commentary and wide ranging guests and audience calls. It is one of satellite radios few live interactive shows on a music channel and features Eddie’s brand of “music and talk that rocks”.

In 2002 Eddie took the leap into television after being hired as a host on VH1’s sister station, VH1 Classic, where Eddie was regularly seen hosting the interview series Hanging With, as well as appearing on many of the station’s other segments and specials. From 2008-2015 he was host and co-producer of the hit series That Metal Show, the longest running program in the station’s history. That Metal Show is seen around the world and is a favorite destination for many Rock/Heavy Metal fans and artists. Over more than 120 episodes the show features the biggest names in all genres of rock music. VH1 Classic was terminated as a channel in August of 2016.

Eddie is armed with a true passion for the music he so feverishly champions. A true scholar of the genre, his encyclopedic knowledge of both it’s history and it’s current events has led him to be widely regarded as one of it’s foremost authorities by fans and artists alike. Consequently, it made perfect sense that Eddie would eventually turn his attention to writing. In 2010, Eddie added “author” to his list of media credits and released his first book “Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal.” The book was very well received by critics and fans alike. In 2013 the sequel, “Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vol. 2,” was released to equally strong sales and response. Both books were released by Abrams Publishing.

In 2016 Eddie was named host of the AXS TV series Real To Reel, which spotlights music documentaries of all genres.

In October 2016 Eddie became one of 3 daily live radio shows on the newly launched SiriusXM 24/7 music talk channel called Volume (106). Eddie is now heard live daily on Sirius/XM Faction Talk (103) Monday-Friday 3-5PM ET  taking calls, doing interviews, and providing commentary on all things rock with a wide variety of the biggest names in rock.
