| July 5 MoR. From the archive comes one of the more distinctive Homegrown Music sessions. The series’ emphasis has been on regional artists, but we occasionally invite some notable performers whose recordings have been featured on WVIA’s Mixed Bag program. MoR are a duo from Iceland who consists of only electric bass and vocals. They do very distinctive and beautiful arrangements of everything from songs by Cyndi Lauper and Duran Duran to Icelandic folk music in this memorable 2007 session. |

| July 12 Drew Kelly. Scranton singer-songwriter Drew Kelly returns to Homegrown Music with his fourth collection of original songs in a solo acoustic setting. This session marks the first all-new Homegrown Music session since the start of the pandemic. |

| July 19 Mountain Wave. A trio of veteran rock musicians from the Upper Delaware River Valley who got together in 2015, Mountain Wave made their Homegrown Music debut in 2017 with first-rate original material than runs from roots-rock to jam-band influenced. This is an encore of that session. |

| July 26 B.D. Lenz. Jazz rock fusion guitarist (and high-school math teacher) B.D. Lenz has released ten albums of his original music, some featuring well-known guests such as Randy Brecker and Will Lee.
