The last time we had music on the morning show was March 13, 2020. A few days later, the governor shut everything down and the pandemic brought lots of things to a screeching halt. That included Mayhem in the AM Presents Lakeland Live, a segment where we welcomed local musicians to share their art with the community and promote their performances. It's back but since there's no more Mayhem, it's now Polk County Live Music!! Our first foray back into it was with Justin Grimes and Cory Greenway.
