Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the December 27 edition of Rocky 104.9's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 9 to 11 PM during Steelers football season.
This week was our annual recap of the past year, the 3-hour 2009 Year In Review Special. Starting at 8 PM, we took one last journey through the past year on the area music scene; starting with January and working our way through to December. Along the way, we recalled the news, events, shows, bands, musicians, formations and break-ups, passings, new CD releases and other things that impacted the local music scene in 2009. And of course, we heard plenty of music from bands and artists who impacted the area music scene this past year.
Here is this week's playlist:

For our first show of 2010, we welcome via phone Paris Kalamaras, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Philadelphia-based rockers A Crucifying Feeling. We’ll learn about A Crucifying Feeling and their story to date, plus hear tracks from their debut CD, From Dust to Life, and lucky listeners will have chances to call in to win their own copy! We’ll also update Local Music News, review Not Alone’s My Incurable Obsession CD in “The Professor’s CD Corner,” and dig into the local music archive for another “Local Music Flashback!” A Crucifying Feeling in the spotlight, this Sunday starting at 9 on the “Homegrown Rocker!”
Forthcoming guests and specials include:
JAN. 17 – MINDSPINE
JAN. 24 – THE EMBALMED
JAN. 31 – CONNER GILBERT
FEB. 7 – SUPER BOWL WIDOW’S SPECIAL (THE LADIES OF LOCAL MUSIC)
FEB. 14 – LOVE STINKS SPECIAL (LOCAL MUSIC BREAK-UP SONGS)
FEB. 28 – MILLENNIUM MUSIC CONFERENCE RECAP SPECIAL
MAR. 7 – JACKSON MONSOUR
MAR. 14 – KAJ
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING NOTE: The “Homegrown Rocker” will soon be returning to the 8-10 PM time slot, pending the ending of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2009 season. If the Black and Gold make it into the AFC playoffs, the start time of the “Rocker” will remain 9 PM while the Steelers remain in contention. If they would make the playoffs and advance to the AFC Championship Game, it’s likely that the Jan. 24 edition of the “Homegrown Rocker” would be pre-empted by that game, which is usually a night game and would be carried on Rocky if the Steelers are involved. Keep listening to Rocky 104.9 and check on our website weekly for updates.
