Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the November 21 edition of “The Homegrown Rocker,” which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
We welcomed guests into our studio this week, as Moonshine Jasmine – Dan Stonerook, Megan Pennington and Tyler Cannon – joined us on the program! We discussed the group and how it formed, and learned about the group’s music, live show and more. We played some of their recorded songs, and all three musicians brought instruments and played a couple of songs live for us as well! We also debuted new songs from Anti-Corn League, Brother Jack’s Lost Cause, Devin Sherman and Derek Woods Band, plus updated “Local Music News,” and dug a 1999 number by Love In Ruins from the archive 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.
