Name: Homegrown Headliner: Micah E. Wood by WTMD
Duration: 4 min 54 s
Description: Talent abounds with this week’s Homegrown Headliner…Micah E. Wood!! He’s in high demand around town for his musical creativity and his skills behind the camera lens. He's a chameleon of creativity and writes/collaborates with many Baltimore artists that are creating fresh, genre-bending tunes.

We’ve got a local favorite with tonight’s Homegrown Headliner…Joey Harkum!!  An incredibly talented songwriter, he’s been holding it down for many years as one of the area’s hardest working artists.  "Through deep, poignant lyrics which tell stories of happiness, love, loss and sadness, Joey Harkum has been traveling and playing his heartfelt songs for over a decade."

One of our favorite eras in popular music are the great alternative rock bands of the 90s and early 2000s. That’s one of the reasons we dig this week’s Homegrown Headliner…The Hollow Truths! They are rock you can relate to; offering honest storytelling over crunchy jams.

Our local musicians often wear many hats and that’s no exception for this week’s Homegrown Headliner…Michelle Shellers.  Michelle has travelled the world playing her music and influencing other artists but her strongest influence might be right here in our community.  We have a full interview with Michelle covering her poetry, her music, and her work with the Baltimore Ceasefire 365 organization.  Spread the love!

Hey Hey! Another week, another Homegrown Headliner…The Original Automatic Slim!!  He’s a staple of the Baltimore blues scene and if you hear him play then there is no question why.  Gracing our local stages and many around the country for the better part of thirty years, if you don't already know Slim when you see him, he'll be the sharp-dressed guy with the guitar.

Break it down one time with this week’s Homegrown Headliner…Crush Funk Brass!!  They’ve got D.C. Go-Go vibes coming from a New Orleans second line tradition and it is the epitome of hype.  Not only are they great musicians, but great people, as they frequently play for causes around the community.

We got soul!  To be more specific, we’ve got this week’s Homegrown Headliner…Honest Lee Soul out of Annapolis, MD!!  They bring the heat with a mix of funk, soul, hip hop, and blues that will blow you away.  Not only that, but they can bring it as a two-piece, three-piece, all the way up to a full band with horns and keys.

After over five years of creating a show full of “kid-friendly music for everyone,” I will be moving on to explore new things to create and adventures to have. But you’ll still be able to listen to past episodes of Young at Heart on the Young at Heart Radio SoundCloud, and hear Talking Tunes, Artist SongBites and Artist Interviews on www.youngatheartradio.org.

I will never forget that first day at WTMD when my band Milkshake was invited by Sam Sessa to perform a concert for families on a Saturday morning. That was the start of what would become the very successful Saturday Morning Tunes family-friendly live music series. It also inspired an idea I had for a radio show for families called Young at Heart.

In honor of this last show, I’ve gathered music from my favorite kid-friendly artists, the very first Talking Tunes from Brian Simms and Tom Moon, a new Artist SongBite, and a Notes from the Playground. It was impossible to play all the artists I’ve come to love and share with you over the years, so I went to the Interviews page of Young at Heart on WTMD.org and picked songs from artists I’ve chatted with over the years.

Thanks for listening!
