Y’all, this week’s guest is awesome! April N. Smith is a beautiful and ridiculously talented vocalist from right here in East Texas. Full of Southern  sweetness, April’s voice is reminiscent of Barbara Mandrell’s country goodness, with the power of Trisha Yearwood, the sass of Tanya Tucker, and the soulfulness of Kathy Mattea, but with a sound all her own. Guest guitarist Jerry Matheny is no stranger to country music, having toured and played with artists such as LeeAnn Rimes, Penny Gilley, and is currently working with Charley Pride as well as April. These two mind-blowing talents are witty, fun, and of course, musically brilliant. Tune in as we discuss April’s music, inspiration, family, and teaching “day job,” as well as Jerry’s experiences, what they’re bringing on Netflix, TikTok, and of course, the Tiger King.

Catch April N. Smith this week at The Back Porch in Kilgore, Texas or Sidekicks in Emory, Texas, but for now you can also find her online at www.AprilNSmithMusic, Facebook (Facebook.com/aprilnsmithmusic), or on Instagram @aprilnsmithmusic.

Hosts Mark and George invite you to listen to a very special episode of Astro News Daily.  We spend the entire episode discussing George Floyd, the riots and looting, the demonstrations and Black Lives Matter, and what the world needs to come together.

No, we’re not crazy, we’re just lunatics.  There IS a difference.  Well, we try to convince ourselves there is a difference.  You believe us right?  The voices in our heads say we are correct.  While we sort it out, take a listen…if you’re over 18 and if you dare.
