Homegrown 07-24-11 – What You Missed
...and evidently, it was MOST of the show, if you were listening on the radio. We were off the air for a while last night! The online stream was working, but if you couldn't tune in, I interviewed a few of the guys from GiveN NothiN'...and they played us a live, in-studio acoustic tune, too...
Who’s on Homegrown 07-24-11??
GiveN NothiN returns! They'll be featured on our next Homegrown Live show at the Riverside Warehouse this coming Friday...and they'll be playing a different kind of set. We'll talk about that, some lineup changes, their upcoming CD, and lots of other fun topics...
Homegrown 07-17-11 – What You Missed!
For those of you who didn't get to tune in last night, here's the interview I did with Porcelain Arms and Death Rides the River. It's divided into three, bite-sized segments for your listening pleasure:

Jade’s Band T-Shirt of the Day – Prosevere
Okay...technically not what you'd call "local," but I was running very late this morning...and this happened to be at the top of my t-shirt stack, I like the design, and it fits well. Plus, the band DID play a show with some of our locals...
Jade’s Band T-Shirt of the Day – Mothers Anthem
I've seen these guys live a total of....ONE time. I think there were a couple of other Shreveport shows of theirs where something might have come up with either me or them. One of the things I love most about these Austin, Texas, guys is the way they dress...
Jade’s Band T-Shirt of the Day (Tues!) – Dekree
Whoops! I forgot to post this yesterday...so it's a two-fer Tuesday! : ) I don't wear this shirt often enough, because I have a very different problem with it than most of my others...it's a little too SNUG. Haha! I can't tell you when I met the Dekree guys, but it's the one and only time I've ever seen them in person...
KoT Fest a Success!
Saturday, the Louisiana Knights of Thor held its first-ever KoT Fest at Leather Shack on Greenwood road, and raised about $1,000 for Camren Garza and his family. As I've mentioned in previous posts, Camren is a local 14-year-old who's been battling cancer...
Jade’s Band T-Shirt of the Day – Magdalene
After taking last Friday off (my first day back from a week's vacation), I thought I'd start off the week with another talented east Texas band. (I did black out a nipple on the angel there...got a young child at home, after all, and don't want her asking questions...
KoT Fest Is Coming!! Find Out All About It Here!
The Louisiana Chapter of the Knights of Thor (of which I'm the Events ChairWOman) is holding a big all-ages music festival this coming weekend...and we want you there! I talked with local Vice-President Dee Everett about it...and here are all the details...
Who’s on Homegrown 07-03?
Mister VP!...Knights of Thor Louisiana Chapter Vice-President Dee Everett joins me tonight...to talk about next weekend's KoT Fest! The entire Homegrown show lineup is made up of bands playing the festival, which is dedicated to a very special young man...
Jade’s Band T-Shirt of the Day – BONUS!!
So...who's going on vacation with Jade? THREE area bands, actually! Two of these shirts are ones I acquired last weekend...and have altered to my specifications. Haha! Nottaway from Ruston (who played Friday night at the Warehouse) and locals My Own Legion (who played Saturday night, same place) are making the trip to Oregon with me...
