George Wesley is returning to his old stamping grounds. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The popular musician will perform tonight at WVIA-TV's ``Homegrown Music''
concert, marking the show's 25th anniversary. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The show, at 8 p.m., is a live broadcast and will originate from the
station's broadcast center on Old Boston Road in Pittston. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wesley performed on the first ``Homegrown Music'' show in December 1976.
The show began as a weekly series, presenting performances by regional
artists. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Since then, ``Homegrown Music'' has become a staple at Channel 44. It has
showcased approximately 500 groups and artists and more than 1,000 musicians. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wesley, who performs reggae, world music and electric rock, is one of the
area's most respected musicians. His band now includes his son, James. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Several other ``Homegrown Music'' veterans are scheduled to perform on
tonight's special, including Tim McGurl, Cat and the Fiddle, Don Shappelle and
Leo Schott. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``Homegrown Music'' was founded by George Graham, who also produces the
show. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Tonight's show is open to the public and is free by advance reservation at
655-2808. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
