HomeGrownRadioNJ Celebrates Two Years of Independent Community Radio Stanhope House Sunday, October 29 4-11pm

The “Second Anniversary Concert For HomeGrownRadioNJ” kicks off the station’s ten day on air “Fun Drive” featuring live in studio guests and surprises.

The seed for HomeGrownRadioNJ was planted on Mischief Night, October 30, 2004 when a dozen deejays and a hand full of listeners started a radio revolution via the internet.  Since that night, the deejay roster has more then quadrupled and the station has grown a loyal listening audience in the Skylands region, as well as nationally and internationally.

“We never could have dreamed how the station would take off” says Kath Cameron of HomeGrown. “Artists, activists and listeners continually tell us how important it is to have true community-based radio.” The station relies on volunteers along with contributions from listeners, live concerts and festivals. 

The concert runs from 4-11pm .  Admission to the Second Anniversary Concert for HomeGrown is $15 at the door and $25 gets you a HGRNJ T-Shirt. The Stanhope House is located at 45 Main Street in Stanhope, New Jersey.

Music will be provided by
John Sonntag, Red Molly, Denny Tilton and Friends, Julie Edlow with Kris Kehr, Buzz Universe, and The ShocknAw
Mountain Boys of Railroad Earth fame.


John Sonntag
John Sonntag tells of "Chasing Stars" on his new album's title track, which brings a lifetime's worth of country-full musical skills and insights to his music. Gifted on the guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and piano in addition to his haunting, versatile voice, Sonntag is equally at home in roots-rock, country and funky settings.

Red Molly

Red Molly is Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello. The trio of singer songwriters weave bluegrass, southern gospel, and americana into breathtaking three part harmonies. Red Molly’s first full-length CD “Never Been to Vegas” is a collection of songs that span more than a century of great American songwriting. Red Molly was selected to perform in the Emerging Artist Showcase this summer at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.


Denny Tilton

Denny Tilton is affectionately called the “Skyland’s ambassador of music.”  He has been performing for his devoted fans for over two decades.  His heartwarming and thought provoking songs touch the heart and connect to listeners of all ages.  Denny cds include "Real Life Stories", "Generations" and “Shoulda Seen The Dream.” He generously shares the spotlight with many other musicians through his singer songwriter showcases. Denny will be joined by Tom Askin, Loni Bach, Tom Delaney, Kel Pilshaw and Alan Bowers.


Julie Edlow

Julie Edlow belts out amazing blues, soul and folk from the gut.  She has been the vocalist for Black Eyed Susan and jam band The Recipe.

The Shockenawe Mountain Boys

The ShockenAwe Mountain Boys are an offshoot of jam grass faves, Railroad Earth.  Tim Carbone, Andy Goessling and John Skehan are all amazing multi-instrumentalists.

Between them they play acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, pennywhistle, saxophone; violin and mandolin.  Together they continually join traditional bluegrass and jam band improvisation to this fun side project.

Buzz Universe features an eclectic blend of world grooves from rock, to latin, to funk, to country, to ambient and even theatrical. Buzz Universe takes the audience on a journey with relentless energy, top-notch songwriting, four-part harmonies, and a warm grassroots approach. Their distinctive arrangement of guitar, bass, drums, saxophone and flute make Buzz Universe “sonic bliss for the soul”.  Buzz Universe just released the cd, birdfishtree.  Page Six of the New York Post declared Buzz Universe "That Hot Band from New Jersey."


Thank You! 

If we haven't said it enough and I know we haven't: Thank You!  Everyone who has been part of HomeGrownRadioNJ surviving and thriving.  It ain't easy pulling off concerts, festivals and live broadcasts of some of the best music around.   But our volunteers do this for the love of music and community and because you tell us you want something different.  So thank you for loving out of the box radio and supporting this community! 

We hope to see you there and we appreciate your input on the station.

Hope to see you at the Stanhope or just listen in during our Fun
