Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the July 2 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 presented the 2017 edition of the annual "Cover Song Special," where we explored how area bands and musicians intepret and cover the song creations of other (mostly famous) musicians! As in past years, we introduced a few new and exciting cover treatments, such as Miss Melanie & the Valley Rats' conversion of the Beatles' "Help" and "Oh Darling" into slow soul/R&B renditions, Bob Helbig's rowdy take on the Raspberries' 1972 hit "Go All the Way," Striped Maple Hollow's folksy spin on the Turtles' "Happy Together" and more!

Here is this week's playlist (with song's creator or chief hitmaker in parentheses):

HOUR ONE:

BLACK CAT MOAN - "Statesboro Blues" (Blind Willie McTell)
BEN DUMM & THE EAST SIDE BAND - "Paint It Black" (Rolling Stones)
BOB HELBIG - "Go All the Way" (Raspberries)

WHITE WITCH - "Paranoid" (live) (Black Sabbath)
STRIPED MAPLE HOLLOW - "Happy Together" (The Turtles)
PURE CANE SUGAR - "Midnight Rider" (Allman Brothers)

We have a guest on our next program, as we catch up with Huntingdon County native Doug Forshey! Now based in Nashville, Doug has developed his career as a singer and songwriter, and has issued some solo recordings, as well as his new collaboration with Chris Strait, called Tied to the Tracks! We will discuss the new CD and Doug's career, and hear tunes from the new disc as well as some of Doug's other work. Along the way, we will update "Local Music News," dig into the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," and review Laika, the Astro-hound's latest CD, Kairos, in "The Professor's CD Corner!"

JULY 16 - 13 Saints
