Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the March 1 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).

This was a busy week. First, we debuted plenty of new songs from recordings that arrived at “Homegrown Rocker” headquarters in recent weeks, as well as leftovers we didn’t get to from last week’s Millennium Music Conference recap. We debuted new tunes from Tripp McNeely, Sarah Donner, Adamo Drive, Pan.a.ce.a, Xhibition, Sickleeye, Faith In Exile, Holloe, and Billy Price and Fred Chapellier. We also reviewed Valerie Nicole’s new CD, From the Heart, in “The Professor’s CD Corner.” And for the show’s final half-hour, we paid tribute to Eric Vincent “Fat Vinny” Kelly, who passed away suddenly a week ago. We honored him by sharing the gift he left behind; his music, as we featured tracks from Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys’ body of work, plus live footage from a 2004 performance.
