The eight KGB-FM “ Homegrown” albums are, at turns, impressive, cheesy, catchy, weirdly relevant or painfully stuck in the past. “For the San Diego ballet, I do think it’s important that we don’t just do lip service to the fact that we’re a local dance company,” said director Javier Velasco.

The San Diego Ballet launched its own project last year, also called “Homegrown.” This year’s version, “Homegrown II,” is a showcase of dances set to selections from the KGB-FM “Homegrown” archives, plus additional pieces choreographed from rising dancers within the company, often choreographing or stepping into leadership roles for the first time, the evening explores the many layers of being “home-grown.” It’s reserved for nostalgia and used record stores.
But with a 2017 city-wide median age of 34, the project had long fizzled out before the majority of San Diego’s current population was even born. Winning tracks were produced and released on vinyl. “Homegrown ,” a project of KGB-FM radio in the 1970s, held annual contests for local bands to write and record locally themed songs, many of them about particular neighborhoods. “The music was really cool, and when you heard ‘Homegrown’ on the radio you always hoped maybe you knew someone playing,” said longtime San Diegan Jane Krikorian.
