I’ve had many conversations with Jason Gray over the years, and even in within this one, I learned even more about him as a person, a father, a singer/songwriter, and friend. A crazy childhood, Paul Simon, a Duran Duran term paper, a possible abduction, divorce, falling in love again, surrendering to God, and a one-of-a-kind Paul McCartney cover song you won’t hear anywhere else.

Celebrating 20 years as a band with Building 429, Jason Roy sits down for a very candid and transparent conversation about the ups and downs of being a professional musician, his early beginnings, his love for classic rock, his upbringing, starting the band, the highs and lows, including the low of just being dropped from a major label (as we record this episode) and launching into another phase o...

Ken Mansfield – January 30th, 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the last time the Beatles would ever play together in a ‘live’ setting. It was on a rooftop of their record label, 40+ minutes, and audio that would eventually be used for the album, “Let It Be”. There were only a few ‘employees’ on the roof that day, and if you google photos, you’ll see a man with a white coat. Ken Mansfield worked for...

In September of 2014, I was at a conference that Plumb performed at. She knocked me over, I already knew she could sing, but her story is what struck me as powerful. Fast forward to a radio tour in May of 2015, and I had the privilege of interviewing her on our morning show. The other female voice you will hear is my co-host, Melanie. So into the archives we go Tiffany Lee, a.k.a. Plumb. Advertisi...

Kevin has written a book c...

There are people who are naturally funny, and there are people that need to work at it. The cartoonish southern style of speaking leads me to believe that Chonda is naturally funny. Almost like a cartoon voiceover actor, Chonda is the ‘Queen of Clean” comedian, with 10 comedy albums, multiple books, tv specials, and quite a story. From her start as a Minnie Pearl impersonator at Opryland, to audie...
