Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the August 28 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
Punk-rocking guests joined us in the studio this week, as we welcomed Altoona's Abstentious on the program! We met the band members and learned their story, discussed their music, live show and the area punk rock scene, and heard tracks from their first full-length album Without A Moral Compass! We also debuted a new song from Coffee With Lions, updated "Local Music News," dug out a 1990 number from Hollidaysburg's Violent Reactions for a "Local Music Flashback," and reviewed Paper Plants' Disclosure EP 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, 082822.)

We'll hear music involving such busy musicians as Kent Tonkin, Natty Lou Race, John "JT" Thompson, Jeff Pittinger, the Frick Brothers, Nick Stahlman and many more! We'll also update "Local Music News," and speak via phone with Mike Hype, an organizer of the upcoming 3rd annual Homegrown Music Festival - Mike will give us the lowdown on this year's event, which happens on September 10 at Johnstown's Lorain Boro Park!
