Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the August 7 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
This week we raided the show's mailboxes in search of new local and regional recordings. We found a bunch of them, and debuted a number of new tunes from area bands and artists - including songs from The Semi-Supervillains, Infused, Jon Osman, Blood Union, Yigga Digga, Marshmellow Overcoat, the Jukehouse Bombers, Threshold Of Insanity and more! We also updated "Local Music News," did a special "Local Music Flashback" spotlight on State College's J.R. Mangan with tunes from several of his former duos and band projects, stepped "Across State Lines" to hear another song from Washington DC blues and roots legends The Nighthawks, and reviewed The Stone Eye's South of the Sun 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. 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, 080722.)
