Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the February 12 edition of 105.9 Qwik-Rock's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Lion Country's Rock Station, 105.9 Qwik-Rock. The show can also be streamed via Qwik's website, www.1059qwikrock.com.
This week, we returned to the mailboxes to see what new recordings have arrived in recent weeks. We debuted several new songs from the area music scene. Getting their first spins on the "Homegrown Rocker" were new tunes from Jimmy Adler, One of the Bigs, Tommi Mushroom, Clark's Secret Identity, Phobos Anomaly and The Crew of the Half Moon. In addition, we spoke with former Queensryche singer Geoff Tate, who will perform at State College's State Theatre on Tuesday night, February 21! Geoff discussed his current career and acoustic tour, and we heard a new tune from Geoff's project Operation Mindcrime! Along the way, we updated "Local Music News," dug a 1994 song from Altoona's Free Form from the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," and reviewed Reggie Wayne Morris' Don't Bring Me Daylight CD in "The Professor's CD Corner!"
