    Joe's Truck Stop

    From a ridge in the Ohio River Valley, on a front porch where Kentucky’s visible through the winter’s bare trees, Joe Truck Stop conspires over a smoking blend of Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, Western Swing, and whatever else finds itself inhaled and manifested by way of a wood box and steel wire...Years of digesting so much of the Country Blues lexicon and traveling the country learning the numerous styles of fiddlers, writers, and travelers alike has led to the original music that comes by way of Joe’s Truck Stop.

    Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle

    The Cincinnati-based ensemble Buffalo Wabs (as in ‘mobs’) and the Price Hill Hustle can be best described as ‘American’-- from the mountains to Music Row, blues-gospel to traditional country, the Hustle combines parts of the American-born genre catalog to create an energetic experience every single night.    This four-piece moves from fast-paced, foot-stomping anthems to harmony-laden ballads and traditional dirges of spirit and labor. “The group started around the love of music that moves you,” says drummer/vocalist and band spokesman, Casey Campbell. “The music accompanies the story; and sometimes the music is the story by which we can all connect to one another.”   Homegrown Happy Hour is a showcase for musical artists from around the region. Hosted by Ben Davis, Jr., each show in this second season will be broadcast live on two of Total Media’s radio stations (Pure Rock – 105.5 FM-WXTQ & 98.7 FM-WYRO) and will also be streamed on the Total Media Radio smartphone app. New episodes will air on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. Each episode will later be available on demand with the Homegrown Happy Hour with Ben Davis, Jr. podcast is available on all major podcast providers including Apple Podcasts & Spotify.

    David Childers

    Singer-songwriter David Childers is the proverbial study in contradictions. A resident of Mount Holly, North Carolina, he’s a former high-school football player with the aw-shucks demeanor of a good ol’ Southern boy. But he’s also a well-read poet and painter who cites Chaucer and Kerouac as influences, fell in love with folk as a teen, listens to jazz and opera, and fed his family by practicing law before turning in his license to concentrate on his creative passions. The legal profession’s loss is certainly the music world’s gain. Childers’ album, Run Skeleton Run, releasing May 5, 2017 on Ramseur Records, is filled with the kinds of songs that have made him a favorite of fans and fellow artists including neighbors the Avett Brothers. Scott Avett contributes to four tracks, and Avett's bassist Bob Crawford co-executive-produced the effort with label head Dolph Ramseur. (Crawford and Childers, both history buffs, have recorded and performed together in the Overmountain Men). Homegrown Happy Hour is a showcase for musical artists from around the region. Hosted by Ben Davis, Jr., each show in this second season will be broadcast live on two of Total Media’s radio stations (Pure Rock – 105.5 FM-WXTQ & 98.7 FM-WYRO) and will also be streamed on the Total Media Radio smartphone app. New episodes will air on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. Each episode will later be available on demand with the Homegrown Happy Hour with Ben Davis, Jr. podcast is available on all major podcast providers including Apple Podcasts & Spotify.
