Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the September 9 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.
Guests joined us in the studio this week, as Whiskey Pie shared their music and world with us! We met the band members and learned their story, discussed their music and career, and featured songs from their debut album, Lifestyles of the Poor & Lonely! They also brought instruments and did a couple of songs for us live! Along the way, we debuted new songs from One of the Bigs and Chris Sutton & Charlie Barath, updated "Local Music News," dug a 1974 song by The Rounds Brothers Band from the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," and reviewed Rodeo Serenade's American Roots CD in "The Professor's CD Corner!"
Here is this week's playlist:
HOUR ONE:
DOUG IRWIN - "Rattle the Cage"
DYLAN E. MILLER - "Favorite Distraction"
WHISKEY PIE - "Lifestyles of the Poor and Lonely"
ONE OF THE BIGS - "Seasons"

Along the way, we will dig a "Local Music Flashback" from the archive, step "Across State Lines" to hear music from an independent band or artist from outside of Pennsylvania, and review The Lampshades' Astrology CD in "The Professor's CD Corner!"

A member of longtime Pennsylvania hard rockers Harpo is on the mend. Singer and keyboard player John "Lloyd" Kistner is recovering from a stroke he suffered on August 9. He is currently undergoing impatient rehabilitation at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, and is reportedly making good progress in his recovery. We at the "Homegrown Rocker" wish 'Lloyd' and quick and complete recovery.
