BYRAM TOWNSHIP - “HomeGrownRadioNj,” which was established five years ago on Oct. 30, will be celebrating its fifth anniversary on Saturday, Oct. 24 with a benefit concert with a “blues flavor” at the Golden Nugget Saloon at Wild West City in Byram Township. The line- up includes blues favorites Billy Hector and Johnny Charles as well as the Quimby Mountain Band, Baked Fresh Daily, Jimbeau and the Retrocasters and Paul Wilder. “HomeGrownRadioNj” has been a steadfast champion for the independent artist throughout New Jersey and beyond, said officials. “Its continuing commitment to spreading the music so few get to hear has earned them a spot in the hearts and minds of musicians throughout the area,” officials said.
