Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 5 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock (www.q94classicrock.com), and from 10 PM to midnight on 107.1 and 101.3 Jack FM (www.1071jack.fm)!

We discussed the group, its beginnings, career, live show and music, plus played songs from the group's CD Commuter! We also debuted new songs from The Buckos, The Ben Dumm 3, Tom Nevers Field and Blind Accuracy; plus updated "Local Music News," and dug out a 1994 number by Indiana's Absence Of L for our "Local Music Flashback!" (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.

Several well-known area music names are merging their talents into a new band project. The Bomb Cyclones feature both ends of the Mellissa and Kenny duo, with Mellissa Vella on lead vocals and Kenny Karlheim on lead and rhythm guitar. Rich Johnson also will play lead and rhythm guitar, Bill Nusom will play bass, and Paul Caracciolo II will play drums. The Bomb Cyclones will make their official debut on Friday, February 10 at Altoona’s 4D’s Lounge.
Lancaster’s Eternal Frequency has a new drummer, as the group announced this past week that Ryan Seritti takes over behind their drum kit. Ryan previously played in the bands Capture The Crown, Gas Station Disco and Phazed.
Altoona heavy metal rockers SamarA are seeking a new frontman, as Eric Pensyl has announced he is stepping away from the group to devote time to other priorities.
Williamsport area classic rockers Mason Dixon have announced the addition of a keyboard player, as Elmira, New York transplant Jeff Titus joins the group.
And some personnel updates for Morgantown, West Virginia bluegrassers The Hillbilly Biscuits (formerly Hillbilly Gypsies)…The group has a new fiddle player, as Gray Buchanan has taken over that position. And after filling in on upright bass with the group for the past year and a half, former Jakob’s Ferry Stragglers upright bassman Niko Kreider has joined the Biscuits as an official member.
