Hometown Heroes

For 30 years, Hometown Heroes has spotlighted the best local, original music from musicians across the Delaware Valley.

Hometown Heroes
Each week, Hometown Heroes gives local artists of all musical genres a platform to play live and recorded songs for listeners to enjoy and discover.

Host Mark C. Rogers interviews the artists, shares their stories, and promotes their events.

Homey Awards
When you've got this kind of local music connection, a celebration is in order. Now in its 20th year, the Homey Awards recognize the best in local music.

This year, the ceremony and concert take place Sunday, April 26, 2026 at The Queen in Wilmington.

Hometown Heroes airs Sundays from 7-9pm with a rebroadcast on Wednesdays at 9pm.

Hometown Heroes is made possible, in part, by support from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
