Hello Everyone,

With Christmas just five days away, we presented the 2020 installment of the "Homegrown Rocker" Christmas Special! We featured holiday sounds of the season from the local and regional music scene, as area musicians performed Christmas-themed original songs and their distinctive renditions of time-tested holiday favorites! We debuted a number of new Christmas tunes this year, courtesy of Bill Dann & Jack Servello, Mudzo McCourt & Alicia Starr, The Austens, Chris Woodward & Shindiggin,' Brother Jack, Zac Grace, Zupe, Don Hughes, Dee Snider & Lzzy Hale, and Lille Jul Rockeband! And we spanned the musical spectrum, with music representing rock, pop, country, folk, blues, punk, metal, alternative, and even a Christmas polka! Merry Christmas!
