Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the May 2 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
We may have had to fumigate the studio afterward from the stench (just kidding), but we welcomed the return of our guests, central PA 'rot and roll' pioneers Roadkill! We got caught up on the group' latest happenings, including the upcoming release of their anthology compilation CD, Worst Misses, as well as their "PunishFest" rock and wrestling event on May 23! Roadkill had an additional surprise for us, as both drummer Clayton Miller and guitarist Tommy Raab - both accomplished singers and songwriters - brought acoustic guitars and each did a song live on the air! We also updated "Local Music News," pulled a 2004 tune by Cambria County's Right Side Thief from the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," and reviewed The Filthy Lowdown's El Accidente CD in "The Professor's CD Corner!" (For those who missed the program, a four-part podcast of this show is available for listening or download from Q94's website, www.q94classicrock.com. Click on "The Professor's Classroom," and then scroll down to "Homegrown Rocker Podcast" and look for the four show segments marked with the date, 050221.)
