In Local Music News...
As live music gradually begins to emerge from the COVID-19 shutdown, some events have been announced for later this summer and fall.
The inaugural Homegrown Music Festival will take place on Saturday, August 29, at People's Natural Gas Park in Johnstown. The event will start at 2 p.m., and feature performances from six Johnstown area bands, including Black Cat Moan, The Ne'er Do Wells, Afro N'at, Even the Odds, Van Waylon and the Derek Woods Band. Local vendors will be available. Tickets to the concert are $10 per person, and profits will be given to the Community Foundation to support local charities.
And Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh's Millvale section will host the annual Yinzfest 2020 music festival on Saturday, August 15. This festival will feature 40 musical acts on four stages, plus poetry, visual arts, comedy, magic, activities, local vendors, and more. Advance tickets are available for $20 per person.
During this difficult time, we at the “Homegrown Rocker” encourage our listeners and area music fans to help out musicians as their livelihoods are on hold and they cannot earn their regular income. Consider visiting their websites to purchase CD’s, music downloads or other merchandise, or make a donation to their virtual “tip jars” when you see artists performing live streaming concerts.
