A Homegrown Music Concert with SMASH PALACE. WVIA's unique monthly series of two-hour live concert-broadcasts continues with a performance by a long-running rock band from the Philadelphia area. Smash Palace goes back to the mid-1980s when brothers Stephen and Brian Butler formed a band called Quincy, which released an album on Columbia Records in 1985. After an extended hiatus, they reformed the group in 1999 as Smash Palace and one day in 2005, they played a show in the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool, England, where the Beatles were discovered. Smash Palace also found themselves "discovered" at the Cavern Club, and were signed to an American record label. Their CD from 2007, Everybody Comes and Goes was featured on the Mixed Bag weekly album review series, and was also widely praised for their intelligent 21st Century update of the "British Invasion" sound. After a studio session appearance on Homegrown Music in 2006, the band makes their first appearance on the Homegrown Music live concert series.
The concert will also feature additional performers. See http://homegrownmusic.info for updated information.
May 20 The Bleeding Hearts. Another Homegrown Archive segment from 10 years ago features a first-rate roots rock band that includes guitarist Neal Casal (now with Ryan Adams and the Cardinals) and keyboard man John Ginty (Robert Randolph Band).
May 27 Walter Prezelski. Distinctive and eclectic singer-songwriter Walter Prezelski from Uniondale, PA, has released four CDs of music that defies ready categorization. He returns to Homegrown Music with a new collection of his songs, joined by guitarist Kelly Birtch.
