Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the December 19 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
This week's program was the annual "Homegrown Rocker" Christmas Special! We celebrated the holiday season local music style - hearing two hours of seasonal music from area bands and artists! We heard local performers' original Christmas season song creations, as well as their renditions of time-tested holiday classics! We debuted some new holiday songs this year from Kenny Murd-ick, Brother Jack, Colebrook Road, Denny & Ken, Yigga Digga, Fruitcake the Christmas Clown and Shea Quinn. And we reviewed Antonio Andrade's new Christmas album, Jingle All the Way, 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.
