Fans of Your Hometown Morning Show will enjoy a more behind the scenes look at what goes into the making of a country radio morning show. Listen daily for this PG-13 version of the top stories making pop culture headlines, artist interviews, and much , much more.
Big holiday energy meets honest storytelling as we map Jacksonville’s most festive concerts and sit down with two artists who know how to turn a December night into a memory. Charles Kelley of Lady A shares how their first Christmas tour finally came to life, why Beach Boys harmonies on Little Saint Nick became a crash course in arranging, and how a rolling banjo and duet feel reshaped Wonderful Christmastime. He opens up about faith-forward moments like Silent Night with Chris Tomlin and the new original While We Sing Noel, written with Scripture close at hand. We talk family, flow, and the little choices that make a two-hour holiday show feel like a living room singalong.
Then the spotlight shifts to Dave Koz, who’s building a concert designed to acknowledge a tough year and guide the room toward hope. He walks us through the rehearsal process, the front line featuring Jonathan Butler, Kayla Waters, Haley Reinhart, and Casey Abrams, and the decision to add New Hope—the Grammy-nominated duet with Bob James—to a Christmas set. Koz shares a heartfelt timeline: the beloved holiday tour will take its final bow at year thirty, not as a farewell to performing but as an opening for new creative paths. Along the way we revisit a shared obsession with Ray Charles’ The Spirit of Christmas and the power of music to connect generations.
We round up key dates at the Florida Theater and other local venues so you can plan your season with confidence. If you’re ready for harmonies that lift, songs that center the heart of the holiday, and a stage full of collaboration, this one’s for you. Hit play, grab tickets while they last, and tell us: which Christmas song do you most want to hear live? If you enjoyed the show, follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.
Jacksonville’s stages are buzzing, and we’re riding the wave from stadium-size announcements to intimate, memory-soaked tributes. We kick off with a rapid tour of what’s on the books: country stars moving pre-sales, amphitheater nights waiting for cool weather, a packed Florida Theatre calendar, and a Broadway in Jacksonville launch that brings a rare straight play to town. It’s a season of choices, and the best kind of problem—too many great shows on the same week.
Then we dive into craft. Actor Adam Brett, who plays Wadsworth in Clue, opens the rehearsal room and explains why this play feels like a musical without ever breaking into song. He studies Tim Curry’s film performance like a score, not to mimic but to honor the energy and timing that fans love. The result is a stage piece with meter, melody, and sly orchestration—Colonel Mustard brassy, Mrs. White like a clarinet—plus moody jazz cues that turn the mansion into a live instrument. If you think you only love musicals, Clue might change your mind.
We also sit down with Craig Winberry from The Life & Music of George Michael, and the conversation swings from Wham to the soul-baring depth of Listen Without Prejudice and Older. Craig talks about carrying that voice with care, the difference between tribute and imitation, and why songs like Spinning the Wheel and Jesus to a Child still stop a room. He shares practical New York ticket hacks and the heart behind his debut album, Sidewalk Survival Guide—an honest, genre-hopping journal about leaving home, finding self, and refusing to be boxed in.
From ticket tips to creative insights, this episode maps the sweet spot where nostalgia meets new work. If you’re picking between Clue’s opening night and George Michael’s return to the Florida Theatre, we feel your pain—and we explain our own scheduling pivot. Ready to plan your night out in Jax? Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs a show, and leave a quick review to help more locals find us.
A voice can carry a lifetime. We open with William Lee Golden of the Oak Ridge Boys sharing a moving look at farewells, four-part harmony, and the surprising ways music holds people together when life frays the edges. He reflects on Joe Bonsall’s goodbye, Richard Sterban’s fight, and why Duane Allen’s choral backbone keeps the Oaks steady. Then the conversation turns forward: younger singers adding fresh energy, and studio time booked with producer Dave Cobb. Classic songs are safe—Elvira, Bobbie Sue, Y’all Come Back Saloon—but the heart of it is legacy as a living thing.
From harmony to horror, we trade the tour bus for Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights, fresh off a sleepless RIP tour that hits every house and scare zone. We break down Terrifier’s gleeful brutality and “bloodfall” exit, the eerie spectacle of Five Nights at Freddy’s, the scale-bending fun of Dolls, and the smoke-and-leather grit of Hatchet and Chains. WWE’s Wyatt Sicks creeps by character design, El/La Artista paints demons into the real world, Galkn chills with snowbound dread, Jason slices through nostalgia with a fog-blind hallway, and Fallout surprises with a clear, story-first throughline even for newcomers. Between runs, we talk Nightmare Fuel, Lagoon drones and projections, and the small tactics that keep a long night great—on-site hotels, smarter food choices, and the real value of an RIP guide.
If you’re mapping your own trip, we’ve got practical strategy: how to prioritize houses, when to sit for a show, why the app matters, and which treats to hunt down when your adrenaline dips. And if you came for the music, Golden’s perspective lingers: traditions endure when people care for them, whether that’s a quartet’s blend or a park’s meticulous set design. Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help more fans find the show—and tell us which house you’d brave first.

What happens when two world-class entertainers decide to bring Vegas-quality production to Jacksonville? You get Boot, Scoot and Bourbon—a revolutionary immersive country music experience that's about to transform how the city experiences live entertainment.
Meet Russ and Ali Francis, the creative force behind this groundbreaking show. Their story reads like a Hollywood script: he's a Jacksonville native and professional singer; she's an Australian dancer who performed with Bruno Mars and Chris Brown. They met in Los Angeles, then moved to Vegas where they both starred in a major production (and where Russ proposed on stage!), then took their talents around the world before deciding to elevate Jacksonville's entertainment scene.
Boot, Scoot and Bourbon isn't just another concert—it's a fully immersive experience where the entertainment surrounds you. The Glass Factory transforms completely with country-themed décor while performers move throughout the space.

And yes, there's actual bourbon tasting involved, courtesy of local award-winning distillery Jacksontucky.
What makes this production special goes beyond the spectacle. It's about creating something Jacksonville can proudly call its own—a show that rivals anything you'd find in major entertainment hubs, but celebrates our Southern heritage and brings world-class talent right to our doorstep. Russ and Ali believe fervently that "you shouldn't have to travel to New York or Las Vegas to experience a show like this."

Now touring as lead vocalist for The Turtles on the Happy Together Tour, Ron's musical journey comes full circle as he performs alongside other 60s legends like Little Anthony and Jay and the Americans.
I also speak with Tommy Heath (better known as Tommy Tutone), who discusses his upcoming album and offers refreshing wisdom about his "one-hit wonder" status.
