What is Leeway's Home Grown Music Network?
Leeway's Home Grown Music Network is people: independent bands, representatives, venues, stores, fans and people like you all working together to improve our world through good music!
How did it start?
The Home Grown Music Network was launched in early 1995 by Leeway Productions to help talented independent bands reach fans who are seeking fun, interesting & mind expanding music. "The kind of music I enjoyed but couldn't easily find on the radio or in stores." says fomer professional DJ and Leeway's founder, Lee Crumpton.
