Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the June 17 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.

With this program happening on Father's Day, we honored "Homegrown Rocker" tradition and spotlighted area music scene dads, moms, sons and daughters on our annual "Father's Day Special!" We aired songs featuring area music scene family connections, with some tunes featuring two generations of performers! Along the way, we debuted new songs from The Clarks and Pop Thief, dug a 2006 song by Kyx (featuring dad Terry Wills as we spotlighted Terry and his daughter, Young Lungs singer Meg Wills) from the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," stepped "Across State Lines" to hear music from Shepherdstown, West Virginia's Lucia Valentine (whose dad, Dominic, plays bass), and reviewed the latest CD from regional music scene dad Tim Woods, Human Race, in "The Professor's CD Corner!"

Here is this week's playlist (with spotlighted family members in parentheses):

HOUR ONE:

JUKEHOUSE BOMBERS - "Nothin' to Lose" (Jimmy Roach - father, Joe Roach - son)
DIRTY MOJO BLUES BAND - "Too Much Alcohol" (Gary Strickland - father, Shawn Strickland - son)
LIZZIE & THE YEEHAW GANG - "Road to Home" (Lizzie Yeehaw - mother, Lili Yeehaw - daughter)
WHISKEY PIE - "Ode to Jessie Custer" (Paul McLaughlin - father, Brian McLaughlin - son)
THE CLARKS - "In Blood" (Dave Minarik Jr. - father, Noah Minarik - son)
THE CROW FLIES - "Ravens of the Past" (Chris Whitmer - father, started project with his eldest daughter)
POP THIEF - "Grip" (Forrest Kos - son)
FELIX & THE HURRICANES - "Lady Liberty" (Felix Kos - father, Dan Myers II - son)
FELIX & THE HURRICANES - "It's Just Me" (Jeff Clapper - father, Ryan Clapper - son)
JOINT EFFORT - "Say You Will" (Jeff Clapper - father, Ryan Clapper - son)
BORN & THE BEANSTALK - "The Day You Went Away" (Sean Osborn - son, Ben Bower - son)
TRIPLE THREAT - "Before You Accuse Me" (Don Osborn - father, Bill Hunter - father, Bill Hocherl - father)

HOUR TWO:

EXECUTION DAY - "Lifeline" (Matt Bidoli - son)
DELUDED YOUTH - "Legend" (Luke Wesesky - son)
HABATAT - "Gold" (Ryan Woods - son)
DEREK WOODS BAND - "Big Truck" (Derek - son)
TIM WOODS - "Image Is Clear" (Tim - father)
YOUNG LUNGS - "Reality" (Meg Wills - daughter)
KYX - "I'm Right" (2006, Local Music Flashback) (Terry Wills - father)
LUCIA VALENTINE - "We Are One" (Across State Lines) (Lucia - daughter, Dominic Valentine - father)
BREE GEARHART - "Get Bright Moonlight" (Bree - daughter)
DYLAN E. MILLER - "Favorite Distraction" (Dylan - son, Olivia Jones - daughter)
JIM DONOVAN & THE SUN KING WARRIORS - "You In My Arms" (Jim - father, Tupelo and Ella Donovan - daughters, Oliver Donovan - son)
PENSIVE FEAR - "The Awakening" (Tom Brown - father, Shawn Thomas - son)

Logistical issues with arranging the interview prevented us from having the original band guests, Behind the Grey, on our next program (they will be on the show later this summer). Instead, since the program host was in attendance at the 15th annual Smoked Country Jam Bluegrass Festival, we instead caught up with Pittsburgh's Jakob's Ferry Stragglers and will feature an interview recorded during the festival. We will learn about the group (and find out where the heck Jakob's Ferry is located), and feature songs off their brand new CD, Poison River. We will also update "Local Music News," dig a "Local Music Flashback" from the archive, and step "Across State Lines" to hear music from an independent band or artist from outside the state!

Upcoming guests and specials include:

JULY 8 - Cover Song Special
JULY 15 - Psycho Prophecy
JULY 22 - Dylan E. Miller
JULY 29 - Native Alloys
AUG. 5 - Tukurpa
AUG. 19 - We Came From Space
AUG. 26 - Behind the Grey
SEPT. 9 - Whiskey Pie

(All dates are subject to changes as circumstances warrant.)

Bands and artists wanting to submit news items for "Local Music News" may email their news to homegrownrocker@gmail.com. Indicate "MUSIC NEWS" in the subject heading!

Bands and artists interested in having music aired on the show are invited to send their broadcast-quality recordings to: Magnum Broadcasting, 315 South Atherton Street, State College, PA 16801; ATTN: Jim Price/Homegrown. Or drop the recordings off at the station during regular business hours, Monday-Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. You can also email digital song files or inquiries about the show to homegrownrocker@gmail.com.
