Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the May 8 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
This week, we welcomed into the studio Altoona-based singer, songwriter and country artist Mike Williamson! We discussed Mike's career, including his work in and out of Nashville, his live show, songwriting style and more, plus we talked about his latest album, Almost There... and heard songs from the album! We also debuted new songs from Dave Nichols & Phil Peretti and Steve Treado, updated "Local Music News," dug a 1999 number by Mifflin County's Blackwater from the archive for this week's "Local Music Flashback," and reviewed Bob Randall's Thunderbird album 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.
