This week on Jams ’N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock hosts a lively, whiskey-soaked evening featuring co-host Johnny Ringo and special guest, country artist Carl Owens. What starts as a laid-back hang quickly turns into a deep dive into Florida’s country music roots, live performance energy, and the story behind Carl’s rising band, Whiskey Trip. From humble beginnings in church choirs to commanding festival stages, Carl shares how his journey has been shaped by tradition, grit, and a love for real honky-tonk sound.

The episode also builds excitement for the upcoming Boots, Brews, Bourbon, and BBQ Festival, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the lineup, attractions, and what makes this event a must-attend. Along the way, the crew mixes drinks, swaps wild stories, and even takes a “whiskey trip” of their own—making this episode equal parts music spotlight and good-time hang.

In this episode of Riffs & Rhythms, Paul Robertson and Kevin McLoughlin welcome back guitarist Ed Berios for a conversation about the music that shaped his career.

From growing up in Brooklyn surrounded by R&B to discovering the British Invasion, Ed shares stories about the legendary artists who influenced his playing — including Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Leslie West, and more.

The conversation also explores touring experiences in the UK, the difference between American and European audiences, and why emotional expression often matters more than technical speed when playing guitar.

It’s a classic musicians-talking-music episode full of stories, laughs, and deep appreciation for the artists who shaped rock and blues.

This week on Jams ’N’ Cocktails, the crew throws an outrageous celebration for Jordyn Taylor’s birthday with the hilariously themed “Sewer Brat Birthday Bash.” Decked out in construction gear and sanitation-inspired décor, the JNC crew leans all the way into Jordyn’s career in the waste-management world. Host Brad Brock and the Destruction Crew deliver a chaotic night packed with birthday surprises, trashy cocktails, ridiculous games, and plenty of the signature JNC banter fans love.

From the debut of the “Rum Dumpster” cocktail to a wild DIY vacuum basketball challenge and even a garbage truck simulator game, the episode embraces the absurd while celebrating Jordyn in true JNC fashion. Add in a round of Name That Tune, the latest entertainment headlines in the Jordy Files, and plenty of unpredictable moments, and you’ve got a birthday episode that proves once again why anything can happen in the JNC lounge.

Tonight’s episode of Jams ‘N’ Cocktails took a wild left turn—in the best way possible. When our scheduled guest had to reschedule, we did what any reasonable group of cocktail-fueled degenerates would do… we turned the JNC Lounge into a full-blown Game Night takeover. And not just any game—we went straight for Incohearent: Guess the Gibberish… spicy edition. 😏

From moonshine-fueled tongue-twisters to some very questionable interpretations (and even more questionable hints), things escalated quickly. Add in a dangerously sweet “Gibberish” shot, a round of gibberish-themed Name That Tune, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame debates, celebrity birthdays, and a few completely unhinged sidebars—and yeah… this one’s a ride. No spoilers, but let’s just say: boundaries were tested, pronunciations were butchered, and vanilla did not stand a chance.

In this Mardi Gras special, the Jams ‘N’ Cocktails crew dives headfirst into the mystery, music, and magic of New Orleans. From the spiritual roots of Voodoo and its deep cultural ties to Carnival, to the larger-than-life legends of Marie Laveau and Doctor John, this episode explores the rich history behind the beads, brass bands, and Bourbon Street energy. It’s equal parts storytelling, celebration, and classic JNC chaos.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Mardi Gras without indulgence. The crew whips up a brand-new original cocktail, cooks a Crock Pot jambalaya, battles through a “Hoodoo Voodoo” music trivia showdown, and crafts iconic New Orleans drinks—including the dangerously delicious Hurricane and the infamous Hand Grenade. Whether you’re here for the history, the humor, or the hangover recipes, this episode brings the party straight to the lounge.
