Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the November 13 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
We welcomed a familiar guest back into our studio this week, as area musician Kent Tonkin (nowadays the bass player for Jim Donovan & the Sun King Warriors and Matt Otis & the Sound) joined us! Kent is also the founder of "Patched Together: A Day Of Music to Benefit the Healing Patch," and he discussed this year's 10th annual "Patched Together," making its return as a live in-person event. We found out about "Patched Together" and the service it benefits, the Healing Patch, and we heard music from several of the bands performing at this year's event! We also debuted new songs from Matt Nagy & the Imaginary Eagles, Jake!, OK Otter and Skulls Across America; plus updated "Local Music News," dug a 1980 number by northeastern PA-based national recording group Dakota from the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," and stepped "Across State Lines" to check out a song by Richmond, Virginia-based rock group Book Of Wyrms! (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, 111322.)

The band lineup has been announced for next month's Toys for Tots show at the Root Hovett Hall near Patton. The show takes place on Saturday, December 3, and will feature performances from Utter Disregard, Bad Luck Lover Boys, Electric Swamp, Endbringer, Treaties, Paperback Tragedy, The Snipped, Negan, Abstentious and The Filthy Lowdown. The show is all ages, and music starts at 2 p.m. Admission is the donation of a new unwrapped toy.
Drummer Blaine Martin has returned to Centre County-based party-rock band TV Blonde after some time away. His first show back with the group took place last night at Charlie's Pub in Dubois.
And we at the “Homegrown Rocker” send speedy recovery wishes to State College area musician Richard Sleigh, as he recuperates from injuries suffered during a fall this past week.
