Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the January 24 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
It was again time to visit the mailboxes on this week's program to explore new recordings that have arrived on our door step in recent weeks! We debuted lots of new music; including tunes from Black Ridge, Hedgerow Red, Tom Flannery & Bret Alexander, Van Wagner, Mediocre Gatsby, John Hahn, Domo Nada, The Jeremy Edge Project and 30 Days of Pain. We also updated "Local Music News," dug a 1985 curio from The Housepets from the archive for this week's "Local Music Flashback," stepped "Across State Lines" to hear western New York's Atropus with their song tribute to the late Dennis Ray Gee Jr. (former frontman for Ember's Fall, who died in an October 2019 vehicle crash), and we reviewed JS Blues' self-titled CD in "The Professor's CD Corner!"
