2 Shots on a Barrel

Send us a textIn the 2000's, there was not a band in Central Kentucky that had quite the cult following as Hooker.  Nearly non stop from 2002 until 2010, Hooker was doing gigs all over to packed houses... opening for the likes of Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton and other who's who of mainstream country music.  The boys mostly from Hodgenville literally grew up with a generation of young folks just like them having their songs sung back to them by packed houses of star struck crowds.   And now, Hooker has recently released their songs on all music platforms and are back to doing shows thanks primarily to a mutual friend -- TJ Downs.  Like the Jake Owen song "I was Jack (you were Diane)", Hooker is now having their fans going back in time!  This episode is perfect timing as Kyle Williamson, Hurley, and Doc sat down with the Bo Brothers to talk about old times and what's in store for Hooker - which we are happy to say includes an August 1st performance in Lebanon during the Lebanon Tourism's Summer Concert Series!  This power packed episode of 2 Shots will take you back to the Hooker Days and have you for sure chomping at the bit for what is bound to be a humongous concert later this Summer!  Also, we had Good Buddies Ray Osborne stop by and say hello which was perfect as Ray was who had the idea of getting Hooker on 2 Shots! Get ya glass of your favorite bourbon and take a ride back memory lane with Hooker!https://www.facebook.com/groups/288170582570690 Bourbon Podcast Bo Brothers

In September of 2021, the Bo Brothers made its first official visit to the Bourbon Festival and one of the legends they ran into was former legendary Master Distiller JW "Jim" Rutledge.  Now one may worry (if you're a couple goofy DJ's) may be cast aside by some of Jim's stature when approached for an interview request.  Not to be deterred, the Bo Brothers anxiously approached Jim Rutledge and he welcomed the opportunity to be  a guest of 2 Shots on a Barrel Podcast with open arms.  Fast forward a few months and we figure out that Jim Rutledge is actually living in Marion County, loves Rosewood Restaurant (one of the favorites of the Bo Brothers) and works out in the Pearl of Lebanon's Lebanon Health and Fitness which just happens to be the home of the 2 Shots Studio.  So all things were complete nirvana and the next thing you know, one of the legends is drinking one of his unicorns (High Plains Rye), talking about his career and JBow hitting golf balls into his windows and just having a grand ole conversation.  Dreams do come true when the stars all align.  So sit back, pour yourself your favorite juice, and enjoy listening to one of the legendary figures in the Kentucky Bourbon business.  #HighPlainsRye #RosewoodRestaurant #GolfBalls #JBowHitJWRutledgeHouse #Bourbon #BourbonTrail #KentuckyBourbonFestival #LivingLegend #FourRosesBourbon
