Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 19 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock (94.3 FM) in Altoona and Lion Country's Rock Station, 105.9 Qwik-Rock. The show can also be streamed via both stations' websites.
Every week on the "Homegrown Rocker," we feature music from local and regional bands and artists with the emphasis on their original song creations. But once a year, we devote a show to cover songs, and explore how area musicians interpret and apply their own voices to music others have created. Thus our latest program was the annual "Homegrown Rocker" Cover Song Special, as we heard a myriad of area performers take on music by mostly famous bands and artists, including time-tested song favorites and even a few deep cuts and lesser-known performers. And musical flavors were wide-ranging, spanning rock, alternative, folk, country, delta blues, punk, Celtic, polka and more! We also dug into the archive to pull a cover from a past area band for this week's "Local Music Flashback": Crossover's 1995 rendition of a Steve Earle classic!
Here is this week's playlist (with covered band/artist in parentheses):
HOUR ONE:
