It was VERY close...but I'd like to say congratulations to Trepid, the winner of last week's contest! Though the band is currently singer-less (sadly, Lana quit late last week), you can still hear Devil Girl in the regular rotation all this week...

First, congratulations to The Sunkissed Barrelabisca, the winner of the first Homegrown round! Listen for 'Far From Kingston' on 99x all this week!  To those of you who voted for Idle of the Peach and Remaining Anonymous -- don't worry!  We'll get them back in the rotation soon...

Here we go! Your NEW Homegrown on 99x is all about getting some BIG radio airplay! These three songs will be up for voting through Friday, and the winner gets prime-time radio play all next week!  Vote for your favorite here!!  We'll be posting three new tunes for your consideration each Monday morning, so get your fans on the website to vote...

Hey, rockaholics!  Tonight's the final Sunday night Homegrown show, so I hope you all plan to tune in.  We start bigger and better local rock promotion next week (not tomorrow, but the following Monday.) This is a bittersweet time for me...

...well, not EXACTLY.  While this coming Sunday WILL be the final on-the-air Homegrown show...we will still be promoting the hell out of our locals.  One hour on a Sunday night just ain't cutting it...so we're doing it bigger and better!  Here's how it's gonna go down...

Well, my guests were no-shows...so I have to do the show all by my lonesome. But I do have plenty of great regional rock, as usual...although I DID stray out of the "Ark-La-Tex" zone this time around. Had to squeeze in some Hydrovibe, Uncrowned, and The Sawyer Family...

2011 was a special year for local rock...we had band line-up changes, band break-ups, Homegrown debuts, lots of awesome music...and some pretty crazy interviews.  On tonight's show, Brian Dozier (who you might remember from several local bands...

No, that's not a new band name...that's what tonight's show is all about...complete and utter chaos!  Because we had so much fun on last weekend's show, I asked Trepid to come in to guest host tonight...and it really has ended up being the "Trepid interviews the Moulin Dudes" show...

My guests on tonight's show...TREPID!! We'll be chatting about the upcoming Halestorm/Adelita's Way/Black Tide show, which they're opening...and lots of totally random, crazy, ridulous and hilarious other topics.  I'll have a couple of tunes by them...

I had Nick Newhouse from Throwing Gravity on the Homegrown show this past Sunday night.  I didn't have time to air the whole interview, so wanted to make sure you got a chance to hear the whole thing.  And here it is...in two parts!! NICK-PT 1 NICK-PT 2 And if you're still curious about Throwing Gravity...

A couple of Homegrown debuts on tonight's show...Nick Newhouse, vocalist from Throwing Gravity, will join me to talk about what the band has coming up. He's a former Shreveport guy now based in Nashville, Tennessee. I'll have a new tune of theirs to premiere...

Since my scheduled guests from Nova cancelled, I made a couple of calls...and I'll have Marshall Doss from Nottaway and Patrick McNerney from Forever Falls on tonight's show!  We'll, of course, be chatting about the upcoming Homegrown Live show at the Riverside Warehouse -- what an amazing lineup...
