Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the August 6 edition of “The Homegrown Rocker,” which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock (www.q94classicrock.com), and from 10 PM to midnight on 107.1 and 101.3 Jack FM (www.1071jack.fm)!
This week we shined the spotlight on local and regional singers and songwriters on the “Singer-Songwriter Special!” We saluted the solo performers who create their own music, and “fly without a net” to share their songs with audiences who may or may not be paying attention. Along the way, we shared new tunes from Brother Jack, Nik Mik and Van Wagner w/Sav Sankaran. (For those who missed the program, a four-part podcast of this show is available for listening or download from Q94’s website, www.q94classicrock.com. Click on “The Professor’s Classroom,” and then scroll down to “Homegrown Rocker Podcast” and look for the four show segments marked with the date, 073023.)
