Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the June 29 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 welcomed Bedford-based singer, songwriter and troubadour Coltt Winter Lepley back into our studio! Coltt is set to release his self-titled debut album on vinyl in early July; we discussed the album and its creation, his creative process and inspirations, live show and more! We aired some songs from the album, plus Coltt brought his guitar and played a few songs live in the studio! We also debuted new songs from Van Wagner and Stone House Breakdown, dug a 1992 live number from State College’s Koehler Bay from the archive for our “Local Music Flashback,” and stepped “Across State Lines” to hear a song from western North Carolina’s Unspoken Tradition (featuring Blair County native 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.
