Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 23 edition of “The Homegrown Rocker,” which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
The show’s mailboxes again quickly filled up with new local and regional music recordings in recent days, so we emptied the mailboxes and spotlighted their contents on this week’s program! We debuted new songs from Memory Collector, Dustin Rainey, Images Of Eden, Eternal Frequency, Pieces Of Reason, Yigga Digga, Lucid Yooth & the Cubensis Lenses, The Stone Eye, Dr. Chance Bartleby and Kevo Can’t Dance! We also introduced new songs from Threshold Of Insanity and Anthrophobia, updated “Local Music News,” dug a 1996 number by Harrisburg’s Dead Left Centre from the archive for a “Local Music Flashback,” and stepped “Across State Lines” to hear a new song from coastal North Carolina, courtesy of bandleader Bill Downing and his project Bill & Friends! (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, 102322.)
