The Homegrown Music Concert series is Public Radio WVIA's long-running monthly radio feature which for over thirty years has presented live performances by a remarkable variety of the region's best musicians. Produced and hosted by George Graham, the concerts take place before a studio audience in the station's theater and are broadcast live "without a net" on WVIA and worldwide on the station's webstream. You can hear the show over the air at 89.9FM or streaming at www.wvia.org/radio/listen-live/. Admission is free; make reservations at www.wvia.org/about/sordoni-theater-reservations/ . The on-air show is also simulcast on many repeater stations throughout eastern Pennsylvania. See www.wvia.org/radio/ for a list of those repeater stations.

As the presenter puts it, "We present these shows in our home...in the living room or preferably in the back yard looking at the mountains. We discourage overuse of alcohol, talking during the show...and smoking is definitely unacceptable. The music is never loud; rather it would be termed intimate. Most shows will have a Pot Luck snack and great talk beforehand." Arrive 5:30 for pot luck. Showtime 6:30. $15-$20 suggested donation. What's a "house concert", you ask? Pretty much what it sounds like: a concert in someone's home. the most intimate way to hear music. Here's a short video that describes the concept.
