Chatting With Casey

I truly love Runaway June.  Everything about them is great, from their music to their harmonies to the girls themselves!  They were kind enough to stop by the studio while in town for a chat - check it out and hear what they've been up to!

The Crowe Boys are a brother duo from New Orleans.  Ocie and Wes Crowe have recently signed a deal with a major record label and are set to play a lot of shows this year, including a few GREAT ones here in New Orleans, like the Festival Stage (main stage) at Jazz Fest this Friday, an acoustic show at the Toulouse Theater in the Quarter tomorrow night, and Bayou Boogaloo in Mid-City next month.  I chatted with Ocie about his background, the music that he and Wes are making, the shows they are about to play, and more!  Check out my...

Blake Redferrin, or simply Redferrin, is about to bust wide open!  He's got a great new single, "Just Like Johnny," a new EP called Some City, Somewhere, and he's about to go out on tour with Old Dominion!  We had a really great chat about his dog, heading out with Old Dominion and Ernest, both of which he hopes to write with, and we played a fun game of "101 seconds with..." that went far longer than 101 seconds, as it always does!  Give our chat a listen!

Shinedown recently announced their "Dance, Kid, Dance Tour" with Beartooth and Morgan Wade.  The tour will be making a stop in New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center on May 16th.  Brent is hiding tickets around areas of New Orleans and Metairie for Shinedown fans to find.  The clues are on social media.  

While in New Orleans, Brent stopped by to chat about all things Shinedown, the tour, growing up in Knoxville, who inspired him to make music, his favorite quote, his tattoos and more!  Give our chat a listen and follow Shinedown on all the channels!:

George Birge is proof that good guys DO win!  He's also proof that hard work and perseverance pay off.  He's been making Country Music for a while without getting the recognition he deserved, but a great song that he wrote called "Mind On You" changed all of that.  And to think... "Mind On You" was set to be recorded by another artist- one of the biggest artists in Country Music- and George had a change of heart and asked for the song back.  That decision literally changed George's life!  "Mind On You" went on to become George's first number one hit a...

Nashville native Chase Matthew had his first radio hit "Love You Again" go top 5 nationwide and he's sure to do it again with his new song "Darlin'."  We chatted about those two songs, other songs of his, songs he's written, what song he wishes he's written, who inspired him to make music, and more!

Most people know Uncle Kracker from his massive hit songs like "Smile," "Follow Me," his excellent version of Dobie Gray’s "Drift Away," and "When The Sun Goes Down," his collaboration with Kenny Chesney.  But did you know that Kracker got his start as Kid Rock's DJ?  Great story!  He tells the story, talks new music, and gets us ready to see him this weekend at Rock The Country in Gonzales, LA.  He goes on Saturday evening at 5.

Koe grew up in Texas, influence by his mom to sing.  Fast forward to now, and Koe has his own unique blend of Country, Rock, and other styles, combining to make him one of the most talked-about artists out there in any genre of music.  Koe will be part of Rock The Country this Friday in Gonzales, and he called to chat music, football, and played a game of "101 seconds with... Koe Wetzel."

Kid Rock is going to be headlining all of the upcoming Rock The Country shows.  There are seven dates and it all kicks off this weekend in Gonzales, Louisiana.  We talked about Rock The Country, old and new music, and more, and I had to ask... just who is that "Huge Surprise Guest" that is going to be featured at Rock The Country Saturday night in Gonzales before Kid Rock takes the stage?

Kolby Cooper is part of Rock The Country, a massive two-day festival taking over the Lamar Dixon Expo Center April 5 and 6 starring Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Travis Tritt and more.  Kolby was nice enough to take a few minutes out of his day to call and chat.  We talked about his original aspirations to play football, the moment he realized that he'd rather play music, and he played a game of "101 Seconds With..."

Sadie Bass is an exciting up-and-comer in the world of Country Music and will be seen on 6 or the 7 Rock The Country dates opening for Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, and more!  She chatted about her time on The Voice, her favorite artists, and played a game of "101 Seconds With..."
