Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 19 edition of Rocky 104.9's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WRKY-FM (www.rocky1049.com).
Thanks to our guests via phone, Rick Klinger and Robert Scott Richardson of Hybrid Ice (www.hybridice.net). We got caught up on Hybrid Ice 2009, previewed what Altoona area fans can expect when the group makes their area return this Thursday at the Lakemont Park Wing-Off, and checked out tunes from the group’s new CD, Mind’s Eye. We also highlighted two past songs from Hybrid Ice for Local Music Flashbacks.
