The Ides of June

On this episode of ROCK DOWN SOUTH, we had the pleasure of sitting down with country artist Jay Allen. And Jay is a super talented country artist that has been around for a little bit. He has a fantastic catalogue of music and has actually had some songs and videos go viral with millions of views. He’s an avid supporter of Alzheimer’s research and has raised tens of millions of dollars for the cause. We talk all about that, his background, his time on The Voice, and his new Christmas rendition of “O Holy Night” that he just released with Allie Colleen.

On this episode of ROCK DOWN SOUTH, we had the pleasure of speaking with Glen Bridden, lead vocalist of the hard rock and heavy metal band 2 Shadows. This band is probably one of my favorite new bands out there right now and they produce some really great music that is both catchy and super heavy. Plus, they are totally over the top theatrical in their performance and band image. Glen may look a little scary in his music videos, but he’s a really awesome and nice guy when you sit down and talk with him. We talk all about how the band started and the new single “Marionette” that they released with The Veer Union.Follow 2 Shadows:Website - https://www.2shadowsofficial.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/2shadowsofficialInstagram (Glen) - https://www.instagram.com/gb_clarkeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/2shadowsofficialFacebook (Glen) - https://www.facebook.com/glen.briddenTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@2shadowsofficialTwitter - https://twitter.com/2ShadowsbandYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@2shadowsofficialSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/5mdiygu3OgrNzMREgzdy4jApple Music - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/2-shadows/1533173941Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/artists/B01LX9D129/2-shadowsPandora - https://www.pandora.com/artist/2-shadows/ARgvbX2nbdrpX6XIHeart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/artist/2-shadows-31334727Deezer - https://www.deezer.com/us/artist/11042584YouTube Music - https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCyRUCSN_lOxrP54Gg0SsO7QFOLLOW ROCK DOWN SOUTH:Website - https://www.rockdownsouth.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/rockdownsouthFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/rockdownsouthTwitter - https://twitter.com/rockdownsouthSTREAM HERE:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4bFp0Sto6EeJaPlrgQDHEfApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-down-south/id1528008275YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@rockdownsouthGoogle Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3JvY2tkb3duc291dGguY29tL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdAAmazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/01df1ad4-fd7a-48fd-9998-3664e243e585/rock-down-southPandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/rock-down-south/PC:51570IHeartRadio - https://iheart.com/podcast/72331957

And if you don’t know who Wheeler Walker Jr. is, then you have been living under a rock and are not a true country music fan. The guy is as genuine as they come and sings songs from his heart and soul. He conquered country music over his last few albums and now has his sights set on Rock N’ Roll!

On this episode of ROCK DOWN SOUTH, we had the pleasure of speaking with Josh Lovelace from the rock band NEEDTOBREATHE. And this is probably one of my favorite episodes I have ever recorded.

On this episode of ROCK DOWN SOUTH, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dusty Huggins from the southern rock band The Ides of June. And I was super excited to talk to these guys. Not only do they have great tunes, but they are actually from our backyard here in Atlanta! So of course, I’m going to have a soft spot for them and any band from Georgia. Dusty and I talk all about how the band started, how they got their name and their interesting southern rock bluesy and slightly psychedelic sound. We also talk all about the brand-new album “Rising Tide” and discuss some of my favorite tracks from it.Follow The Ides of June:Website - https://theidesofjune.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/theidesofjuneFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/theidesofjune33TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theidesofjuneYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@theidesofjuneSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/1RzyjBvfQS0uOxgkzVGSj5Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/the-ides-of-june/1121850366Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/artists/B01GRJELFC/the-ides-of-junePandora - https://www.pandora.com/artist/the-ides-of-june/ARt6vfqh9r5X6bwIHeart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/artist/the-ides-of-june-31239462Deezer - https://www.deezer.com/us/artist/10505337YouTube Music - https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCYgd371NAiRtJ42Sx6Iw8bwFOLLOW ROCK DOWN SOUTH:Website - http://www.rockdownsouth.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/rockdownsouthFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/rockdownsouthTwitter - https://twitter.com/rockdownsouthSTREAM HERE:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4bFp0Sto6EeJaPlrgQDHEfApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-down-south/id1528008275YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@rockdownsouthGoogle Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3JvY2tkb3duc291dGguY29tL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdAAmazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/01df1ad4-fd7a-48fd-9998-3664e243e585/rock-down-southPandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/rock-down-south/PC:51570IHeartRadio - https://iheart.com/podcast/72331957
