Dec. 11 XIT88. A first-rate young rock band, featuring a pair of twins from New Jersey who have already been attracting national attention with their brand of intelligent, melodic rock.

Dec. 16 A Homegrown Music Anthology: What Ever Happened to... Homegrown Music producer George Graham goes into the archive and pulls out some outstanding music from solo artists and short-lived bands who appeared on the series once or twice, and then either stopped making music or were not heard from again. It's music that will make one wonder what might have been if the artists had persisted.

Dec. 17 The Jim Saltzman Quartet. New Jersey jazz saxophonist Jim Saltzman makes his Homegrown Music debut with a fine set of mostly original material, in a straight-ahead jazz style. Note Start time 7:00 PM, during WVIA's All That Jazz.
