Homegrown Music Concerts have been produced for over 40 years by George Graham and presents a wide range of rock, folk, bluegrass, jazz, blues, reggae, world music, fusion, etc. The emphasis is on all-original material or highly original interpretations of old, obscure, or seldom-heard music.
Each show features a different performance, with occasional encore broadcasts from the series’ nearly 40-year archive.
