This Tom Petty Tribute Show is AMAZING | Clayton Bellamy
Clayton Bellamy has been coming to Nashville since he was 16, lived here for nearly a decade, and still talks about the place like he never really left. These days he’s the lead in The Legendary Life of Tom Petty, a multimedia show that treats the songs and the story with real care instead of just trying to sound like the man. He’s also one-third of The Road Hammers (20 years and counting) and just put out his first solo record in more than a decade.Joe and John catch him the morning after a late show. He talks about how the Petty production started as “something fun between tours” during the pandemic and turned into a full production, why the music is complex in its simplicity, and the weight of playing for fans who know every note. He performs the lead single from his new album Soft Kinda Loud live in the studio — a song about the people, places, and moments you assume will always be there until one day they’re not. Along the way there are stories about managing Bobby’s Dairy Dip when he first moved to town, growing up a Petty/Springsteen/Mellencamp kid, a hot-rod family full of Mustangs and Broncos, and the foundation that gives bursaries to kids in the arts (plus the theater he helped raise $2.7 million to build in his northern Canadian hometown).Among the topics: How the Tom Petty show went from a couple of dates to a high-level production, managing Bobby’s Dairy Dip and watching a bank robbery out the front window, why he still has a problem with guitars, the first car he sold to make a record, advice to his 18-year-old self, and why “good is good” no matter what the machines are doing.Brought to you by Two Rivers Ford — the South’s most trusted Ford dealer.

The Untold Story of Marshall’s Most Controversial Coach | Tim Hardiman and Andy Huckabay
11-time Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Tim Hardiman and Andy Huckabay (son of legendary Marshall coach Rick Huckabay) join Joe and John to talk about Huck’s Herd, the new documentary that tells the full, complicated story of the coach who helped bring life back to Huntington after the Marshall plane crash. From 1983 to 1989, Coach Huckabay turned Marshall basketball into the hottest ticket in town—three Southern Conference titles, NCAA Tournament appearances, packed houses, and a larger-than-life personality (including that famous green tuxedo vs. West Virginia). But the story doesn’t end with the wins. The film also explores the abrupt end of his tenure, the NCAA issues that blacklisted him, and why many who lived through it still feel the punishment didn’t fit the crime. Tim and Andy open up about making a film with no narrator (using only interviews and archival footage), interviewing the people involved in Huckabay’s departure (including those who had never told their side), and why this story still matters today—especially in the age of NIL.Brought to you by Two Rivers Ford: The South's Most Trusted Ford Dealertworiversford.comThis show is produced by DEADLEG Mediachaseakers.com
