My concert buddy Bryan Harris and I discuss our recent trip to Beaver Dam, Kentucky, to see The Gene Simmons Band with openers The Iron Maidens. We also shared our thoughts on the venue (Beaver Dam Amphitheater), each band’s set list, as well as Gene’s music career and merchandise sales.

While at Nashville ROCKNPOD 2025, I took a few minutes and spoke with Alan Rueda of Stone Whiskey. He spoke a little about their second album “Scream for Rock,” music videos on their YouTube page, musical influences, their upcoming show in June at the “Leather and Lace Festival” in Sparta, NC, and a potential 2026 event.

This week I had a chat with Nate “Bushy” Atchison from “The Plug Podcast” about our experiences at the recent ROCKNPOD Expo in Nashville. Bushy praised the event’s organizer, Tracy McAndrew, for her successful first time in charge, while I praised the Christine Perry, who continues to do excellent work organizing the volunteers who work behind the scenes to keep things running seamlessly. We also discussed our podcasting and radio DJ activities, highlighting our passion for music and broadcasting. Bushy expressed surprise and delight at meeting Tiffany, a celebrity he had admired since his teenage years. He also mentioned that Tiffany was there to sell her clothing brand, Radical Reds, and was very friendly and accommodating.
