In this special live recording, Derrick welcomes Tommy B—singer, songwriter, mashup magician, and local icon—alongside his secret weapon, the Verk: harmonica-blasting hype man and freestyle rap wildcard. 

This episode is equal parts concert, comedy, and camaraderie. Between electric performances, you'll hear hilarious neighborhood history (kegerators, Halloween and a legendary afterparty that somehow turned into “part two” the next day), and a real conversation about how music intersects with work, family, and purpose.

You’ll also hear:

• The origin story of how Tommy went from drums to frontman (and why guitar became the “prop” that changed everything)

• How Tommy & the Verk first linked up and why it was instant magic

• Thoughts on the changing live music scene—bands vs DJs, old venues turned dance clubs, and what the next generation is missing (or finding differently)

• A glimpse into Tommy’s faith journey and how it shapes the music

• A rapid-fire “this or that” segment that gets wildly honest—plus the most intense pre-stage drink order you’ve ever heard

If you’ve ever seen Tommy B & the Verk live, you already know: this isn’t just music… it's an experience.

Hit play, turn it up, and welcome to the episode that feels like you’re right there in the crowd—chips, salsa, and all.
