Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the January 3 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
We opened the New Year on the "Homegrown Rocker" by visiting the mailboxes to see what new local and regional recordings have arrived during the holidays. As a result, we debuted a lot of new music on this week's program, playing for the first time new tunes from Black Cat Moan, Memory Collector, Afro N'at, Tupelo, Jack Pyers, Randall Pink and The Redlines. We also updated "Local Music News," dug a 2002 song by Altoona's Broken Neck from the archive for this week's "Local Music Flashback," stepped "Across State Lines" to check out a song from Corpus Christi, Texas-based punk-folk group Black TarP-oon, and reviewed Tim Woods' Vortex album in "The Professor's CD Corner!"

In Local Music News...
A number of Pittsburgh area musicians have joined forces to record a new song to help out and raise awareness for local music venues impacted and endangered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The original song, “SOS 2020” (Save Our Stages) was written by Eric Rodger of the band Royal Honey, and involves an all-star lineup of local musicians numbering 27 local bands and 60 artists. Some of the participants include members of Rusted Root, The Granati Brothers, A Common Crown, The Legendary Hucklebucks, Skell, Black Ridge, The Cheats, Chip & the Charge Ups, The Borstal Boys and more. The song will be officially available on Friday (January 8), and can be purchased on iTunes and streamed on all major platforms. Proceeds from sale of the music will be matched up to $2,000 with a contribution from The Ryan McCutcheon Rhythm 19 at The Pittsburgh Foundation. For more information about the song and project, visit the website www.sos2020pgh.org.
In local recording news, Zach Wade & the Good Grief released their new full-length album last week. The album, entitled Love, The Bomb, features ten songs, and can be accessed on Spotify. Expect to hear some of the new songs soon on the “Homegrown Rocker.”
Recent “Homegrown Rocker” guests from last year, State College’s Gelatinous Cube, have completed and released their full-length album, Technicolor Dreams. The album can now be obtained through the group’s Bandcamp page.
Chris Woodward & Shindiggin’ have announced that they are doing a remixed version of their song “No One Fights Alone,” and are inviting anybody who has fought or is fighting cancer to share pictures of holding a sign with either words from the song or a short inspirational message about fighting cancer.
August Winters' first full-length album, called The Lion, The Reaper, will be released in 2021. The 10-song album is expected to be released on August 27. A single from the upcoming album will debut via music video in March.
