In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I had the pleasure of talking with Ray Herndon, a musician whose story stretches from Scottsdale's legendary Handlebar J to the road with Lyle Lovett and the harmonies of McBride & The Ride.Ray and I start by digging into his family's club, Handlebar J, which has been a Scottsdale institution for 50 years. We talk about the balance of being both a musician and a restaurant owner, and what it means to carry on the legacy of a place that has hosted countless nights of music.From there, our conversation winds through his other passions, like competitive poker, and the surprising similarities he finds between playing cards and improvising on the guitar. Ray also reflects on his lifelong love of learning, including his in-depth exploration of Barry Harris's concepts, his admiration for Pat Martino, and what he learned from lessons with greats like Joe Pass and Ted Greene.We spend time swapping stories about the incredible steel guitar community, remembering players like Buck Reid, Paul Franklin, Gary Morse, Bruce Bouton, Joe Rogers, and Johnny Cox. And of course, we trace Ray's path from nights at Mr. Lucky's with J. David Sloan and the Rogues, to that fateful Luxembourg trip where his band first connected with Lyle Lovett, and how those relationships eventually led to McBride & The Ride.Ray also discusses finding his own voice as a singer and songwriter, including the enduring impact of “Me and You,” a song that has remained a staple in weddings and playlists worldwide. We close by talking about what it's like to reunite with McBride & The Ride these days and how the music has only gotten better, the pressure is gone, and the laughter comes easy, as well as his recent work with Don McLean's band.It was such a joy to hear Ray reflect on the twists and turns of his career, the people who shaped it, and the music that continues to inspire him.Music from the Episode:Amarillo Sky (McBride & the Ride)Lovin' Her Was Easier (Ray Herndon)Me and You (Ray Herndon)Thank you for listening!

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has had a vibrant week full of significant moves that will resonate throughout her ever-expanding legacy. The biggest headline is her new duet with Zac Brown Band, “Butterfly,” which dropped on September 5 alongside a “deeply moving” official music video and immediately set country music circles abuzz. Zac Brown, speaking about the collaboration, said recording with Dolly was a lifelong dream—her interpretation brought “so much heart and soul” to this heartfelt track written as a tribute to his kids. Fans have called them an “iconic duo,” flooding social media with admiration for their chemistry and hoping for a possible live performance this December, since both Dolly and Zac will be in Las Vegas for their own high-profile residencies. The new song is part of Zac Brown Band's upcoming album “Love & Fear,” arriving December 5, with the band launching an immersive series of concerts at Sphere in Las Vegas the very same day, already stirring conversations in entertainment media and fans alike. Beyond music, Dolly continues to innovate on the business front. Tell Media reports she has disrupted the weight loss industry with a new venture touted for its quick results and her personal passion for helping those who struggle with health and body image. While the specific medical details are still under wraps, her public statements have already ruffled industry feathers and put her in the headlines as a pioneering businesswoman willing to take risks—though more specifics and third-party validations are still pending, so this is one for the “developing story” file.Not to be outdone on the philanthropic side, Dolly's Imagination Library remains as active as ever, expanding into Shasta County, California this week, bringing her signature literacy program to more families. The rollout was marked by local events and lots of regional press, reinforcing her deep and ongoing cultural impact well beyond entertainment.Earlier in the week, Dolly confirmed via multiple outlets that while she is retired from traditional touring, she is hardly leaving the stage. Starting in 2025, she will launch “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative multimedia symphonic storytelling experience in partnership with Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing. The tour's kickoff with the Nashville Symphony this March promises to introduce her classic hits and life stories to whole new audiences, all orchestrated in lush, inventive new arrangements.Lastly, Dolly's status as a business and entertainment powerhouse is cemented by CEOWorld Magazine's updated global ranking, which lists her as one of the world's ten richest female singers, with a net worth of $650 million, driven by successful ventures like Dollywood, a massive song catalog, and constant reinvention. No whispers of scandal, just a week of headlines that show Dolly Parton remains as dynamic and relevant as ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton can't seem to slow down even for a moment. The biggest story making headlines is her powerful new duet, Butterfly, with Zac Brown and the Zac Brown Band, released September 5. Critics from MusicTalkers and Parade alike call the ballad a spiritual, cinematic anthem of resilience and hope. The release arrived not only with a beautifully produced track but also a deeply moving music video featuring both artists. According to Zac Brown, the collaboration was a dream come true, and he describes Dolly's vocals as transformative, saying she brought a whole new perspective and “so much heart and soul” to the song. Fans are already flooding social media with praise for the pairing and have made the video a must-watch on YouTube and Instagram in the first forty-eight hours.Butterfly is included in the Zac Brown Band's upcoming album, Love & Fear, due out December 5—the very day they launch their sold-out Las Vegas Sphere residency. Industry watchers are buzzing about a possible live duet during December's Sphere run, although no official announcement has been made. While this is not yet confirmed, the excitement is only amplified by Zac and Dolly's visible camaraderie on social media, with Zac's fiancée Kendra Scott even joining the chorus of enthusiastic fans.If that weren't enough, tomorrow night Dolly's legacy gets honored as the Cleveland Orchestra brings Threads: My Songs in Symphony to the Blossom Music Center. The production, developed by Parton herself with Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing, recasts Dolly's signature hits in a grand multimedia symphonic format. Parton will not appear on stage, but she's ‘featured on screen' throughout the evening in what she herself has called one of the most special projects of her career. This innovative celebration threads her life story and musical journey together for audiences nationwide—another sign her iconic catalog is only growing in stature.On the business front, Dolly continues to bat away internet scams using her likeness, specifically those false rumors about her endorsing CBD gummies that have popped up in unsanctioned Facebook ads. In a typically witty Instagram statement this week, Team Dolly clarified she has not endorsed any such product, declaring she's truly “the cake, cookie, and cornbread type.” Instead, she recently expanded her official food line with new Duncan Hines offerings, delighting fans with fresh cornbread and brownie mixes.And just to remind everyone she's always relatable, Dolly told Business Insider in a new interview that her go-to order at Taco Bell remains the classic soft taco—with extra hot sauce, of course.From music milestones to myth-busting on social media, September finds Dolly Parton as both an always-evolving icon and the down-to-earth queen her fans adore.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton continues to prove she's a genuine force of nature, showing no signs of slowing down as she prepares to celebrate her 80th birthday next January. In the most headline-grabbing development, Dolly just released a new single called Broken Angels, collaborating with bluegrass band The Grascals. The track doesn't shy away from tough themes—addiction and recovery—and marks the debut single from The Grascals' upcoming album, highlighting Dolly's commitment to social issues that affect real people. She co-wrote the song with Jamie Johnson from The Grascals, reinforcing their two-decade-long partnership. Both fans and critics agree the song speaks to Dolly's relevance in contemporary bluegrass and country, and Bluegrass Today and HERE Bristol confirm the single is already making waves.Meanwhile, public appearances took a bittersweet turn in late August when Dolly was expected to make a splash in Bozeman, Montana, celebrating the two-year milestone of her Imagination Library's statewide expansion. The event, hosted by First Lady of Montana Susan Gianforte, was packed with fans decked out in Parton-inspired fashion, but unfortunately Dolly was sidelined by an ear infection. Nevertheless, she sent a warm video message and shared her hopes to reschedule. Governor Gianforte and country singer Stephanie Quayle kept spirits high, even as Dolly's absence was palpable. Local Montana press covered the event extensively, championing the library's impact, as nearly one in every two children in the state now receives a free monthly book thanks to Dolly's philanthropic vision.On the business and legacy front, Dolly is stoking anticipation for her upcoming Life of Many Colors Museum, slated to open in 2026 within her new SongTeller Hotel in Nashville. Fresh updates in late August showcased renderings and teased the Hall Of Fame Exhibit, which will trace every dazzling decade of Dolly's life, showcasing her wardrobe, awards, and other never-before-seen memorabilia. The hotel promises to be a must-visit destination for music lovers, with regular sneak peeks fueling excitement across her Instagram and official channels. This museum will operate alongside the Journey of a Seeker exhibit honoring Dolly at the Country Music Hall of Fame, a blockbuster success since opening this spring, with media and fanfare peaking after Dolly herself turned heads at the May 19 preview in a stunning all-pink outfit.In major entertainment news, Dolly is set to roll out a multimedia symphonic storytelling tour called Threads: My Songs in Symphony, set to debut with the Nashville Symphony in March 2025. Variety and AOL broke the story, noting how Dolly will guide audiences via on-screen narration, as orchestras and guest vocalists reimagine her catalog—essentially, a new chapter in her stage career without the grueling pace of road tours.Social media, as always, has been ablaze with Dolly content—from viral fan tributes to replays of her uplifting message to Montana, to Instagram teases of her new museum. Fan engagement soared during the late-summer costume events and museum sneak peeks, while coverage of her growing business empire appeared in outlets like Country Music Alley. Worth mentioning: her net worth now hovers around $750 million thanks to her relentless creativity, brand expansions, and ever-popular Dollywood.In sum, Dolly Parton remains at the very center of music, culture, and philanthropy, as every new headline affirms her status as both an enduring icon and a woman who just keeps rewriting her own fabulous story.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I catch up with the powerhouse duo Striking Matches (Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis). Our conversation weaves together their incredible journey, from garage jams in Georgia and formative years at Belmont University to charting their own artistic path on international stages.We talk about the early sparks: how a chance pairing at Belmont led to instant musical chemistry, their first gig at the Bluebird Café, and how harmonies, slide guitar, and raw energy shaped their sound.They share stories from their European tours, traveling light with only two acoustic guitars, and the magic of making a full band's worth of sound as a duo. We also delve into the impact of having nine original songs placed on ABC's hit show Nashville, a career-launching moment that opened doors to the Grand Ole Opry, the UK, and even collaborations with T-Bone Burnett and the late, great Michael Rhodes.We reflect on the craft of songwriting: from following Nashville's “rules” early on to breaking them with honesty and authenticity. Sarah and Justin discuss chasing their best song yet, recording and producing on their own terms, and creating studio records that capture the energy of their live shows.There's nostalgia too, remembering jam sessions with the Rosson family, watching musical heroes like Tommy Emmanuel, and feeling the support of mentors who helped shape their artistry. And, of course, we share plenty of laughs about gear disasters, sushi metaphors, and why less is often more when it comes to making music.Whether you know them from Nashville, their stirring live performances, or their new releases, this is a deep, heartfelt conversation about growth, partnership, and what it means to create music that connects.To learn more about the duo, visit their website.

I am delighted to welcome back singer-songwriter Laura Bryna to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. The Nashville-based country rock artist continues her rise as one of the most exciting voices in today's music scene. Known for her powerhouse vocals, larger-than-life presence, and raw, emotional storytelling, Laura blends bold country roots with pop and rock influences to create music that feels both timeless and fresh. This past June, she dropped “Blue Jean Crazy” during the CMA Fest Week in Nashville, where she brought the house down with performances at both the Fan Fair X Spotlight Stage and the Opera Plaza. Earlier in 2025, Laura Bryna released the genre-bending Cambo-produced “Painkiller,” “RISE,” an empowering classic-country collaboration, and genre-defying artist Common Tribe. On August 22, she dropped a remix of “Painkiller” that was produced by global DJ + producer Sam Feldt, which positioned her at the forefront of the rising Country-EDM crossover moment. She also continued to deliver superb live performances. Laura performed at LA Pride in Los Angeles and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” in front of 30,000 fans at a sold-out MLS game in Columbus, Ohio. She also made appearances on NBC's Today in Nashville and ABC's Good Morning Nashville, which recognized her as an Artist to Watch. Laura also commits to giving back to her community. She performed for troops overseas and actively supports organizations like Homes For Our Troops, Musicians on Call, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause close to her heart.
