Show Host - Tim Ryan

TIM RYAN BIO

Hi everyone and thanks for checking out Minnesota Homegrown. Rockin' 101 has been supporting local independent music for over 20 years. I'm extremely happy to be part of the show for several years (It's been so long that I can't even remember when I started). It's actually been around 10 years now.

Minnesota has a TON of very talented bands. Every month Minnesota Homegrown will highlight one of those local favorites. As music fans who support the local music scene, simply vote for one of the five choices in the right hand column. You can vote once per week.

The band who has the most votes during the month will kick off Minnesota Homegrown for every show of that month. We'll also highlight the band right here at Rockin101 - dot - com.

Qualified band should have enough material for a month of airplay on Minnesota Homegrown.

Bottom two bands will be dropped off the poll for the following month (don't worry it's only for a short time).

JULY BAND OF THE MONTH

BIO: Many bands dream of the record deal, but few show the drive, work ethic and perseverance to make it happen. The music industry is changing and for most bands, the dream never becomes a reality.

For the last 10 years, Section 30 has worked diligently, booking their own shows, designing their own t-shirts, building their own websites and spreading the word via today's social networking sites. The hard work has paid off as Section 30 has played for thousands of fans, sold out venues and opened for some of the nation's biggest acts.

The instinctive union among these five musicians is immediately evident during the band's electrifying live shows. It is a reminder of what can be achieved when musicians never lose sight of the fact that the song is the most important element. All members of Section 30 have extensive backgrounds in the music industry and are striving to bring the emotion of song to a radio near you. The band's reformation in 2007 has already sparked interest and created a buzz with some of the major players in the Minneapolis music industry.
