Good evening, jammers! In this special episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails, we’re celebrating what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday. From his electrifying music and legendary performances to his larger-than-life appetite and style, we’re diving into what made the King of Rock 'n Roll an eternal icon. While we aren’t live tonight (I’m in Texas for a family milestone), I’m here in spirit, ready to chat with you about your favorite Elvis songs and memories.

This episode has it all: a history of Elvis’s rise to fame, his cultural impact, a musical tribute, and a step-by-step recreation of the infamous Fool’s Gold Loaf sandwich. Plus, our “Shot of the Week” pays homage to his favorite flavors. Whether you're an Elvis superfan or just along for the ride, this celebration of the King will have you shaking, rattling, and rolling!
