Grass Roots – November 9, 2025

Tonight’s guest is co-host Utah Burgess, who is a founding member of the Noble Hops who will be celebrating their 15th Anniversary as part of the 11th Frame Local Live Music Series on Saturday November 15. He’ll discuss the history of the band up to this point and spin some tunes from Hops alumni like Rob Keller from The Shiners, John Rickard with a tune from JD Graham, Jenifer Lynn Baker, and Zach Rovito of The Ragged Co. (who Hops guitarist Tony Villella is also a part of). Original member Ed Hughes will be taking part in the celebration, along with Baker, Rovito, Rickard, Chris Compton, “THE” Brad Hurlburt, and Johnny “Sleeves” Costa.
