WSTW is proud to present Hometown Heroes, a weekly program spotlighting the best music from the Delaware Valley! Hosted by Mark Rogers, Hometown Heroes is broadcast every Sunday, 8-10pm. We play the music and provide information about where you can see these bands perform live, how to get their music, and how to contact them. We'll even bring some of them into the studio to perform live on the air.



The 6th Annual Homey Awards!
The Homeys are awarded to achievements in local music in the past year.

As with most awards shows, the major categories will have five nominees. I need your help - you, the local music fans in the Delaware Valley - to pick the nominees. Please e-mail me with your picks in any/all of the major categories:

  • Album of the year
  • EP of the year
  • Song of the year
  • Band
  • Male solo artist
  • Female solo artist
  • Lead singer
  • Producer
  • Guitarist
  • Bass player
  • Drummer
  • Keyboardist
  • Live act
  • Rock song
  • R&B/hip hop song
  • Alternative song
  • Folk/Americana artist
  • Music video
You can vote for up to five nominees in any/all categories (of course you don’t have to vote for the categories you’re not familiar with). Also, feel free to suggest other categories, because every year has its unique accomplishments.

After the top nominees are decided in each category, the final votes will go to the Homey Voting Panel, which is comprised of past Homey Award winners, members of the media and others within the local music scene.

Note: this year “Artist of the Year” will be decided by the Homey Panel, with that decision being based on a particular band/artist’s overall achievements and contributions to the local music community in 2011.

E-mail your nominations to homey@wstw.com by Friday 1/27/12. One entry per person, please. A full list of eligible songs, artists and albums can be found on the Hometown Heroes Facebook page.

The winners will be announced on the Homeys awards show on Sunday, February 12, 2012.

Thanks-and rock on!
Mark Rogers
