Podcast appearances and mentions of Martina McBride

Frank and Jay reconvene a week after the Spring Fling to debrief the prime rib, the perfectly timed thunderstorm, and the InBody machine that exposed Frank's visceral fat number. Jay walks through why subcutaneous fat is largely cosmetic, why visceral fat is the real metabolic concern, and why intermittent fasting plus protein pacing beats simple caloric restriction. Then the brain section gets weird. Listener emails arrive about Foreign Accent Syndrome: a 70 year old American who started speaking with a Norwegian accent before dying of a brain tumor, a Massachusetts stroke patient who woke up sounding like she was from Oslo. Frank pulls up Cotard's, the walking corpse syndrome where the sufferer is unshakably convinced they are dead and putrefying, and Capgras, where loved ones become identical imposters. A coma survivor writes in about six weeks of demons in his peripheral vision after a ten day medically induced blackout. The second hour pivots to the America 250 concert collapse. Brett Michaels, Martina McBride, Milli Vanilli, and the Commodores pulled out, so Frank and Jay reopen the lines and book a better lineup live on air, decade by decade, with the help of callers.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the extraordinary Wendy Moten for a conversation about longevity, versatility, professionalism, and the many different ways a singer can build a meaningful life in music. Wendy has one of those careers that musicians know and revere: a major-label artist in the 1990s, a world-class touring vocalist, a sought-after session singer, a member of the Grammy-winning Time Jumpers, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry, and, more recently, a powerful presence for a new generation of listeners through The Voice. What struck me most in this conversation is how clearly she understands her craft, her purpose, and the discipline required to sustain both.We begin by talking about the busy season she is in now, balancing solo work, sessions, weekly performances with the Time Jumpers, and another major tour with Vince Gill. Wendy shares the story of how Vince first called her out of the blue after her run with Martina McBride had ended, and how that invitation opened an entirely new chapter in her career. From there, we get into what she calls her “version of country music,” and how she found it not by imitating the genre, but by studying its history, listening closely, and finding an authentic way to bring herself into the tradition.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on harmony singing and what it really means to support another artist. Wendy talks beautifully about what she learned during 15 years as Julio Iglesias's duet partner, including how to listen, how to match breath and phrasing, how to stay out of the way, and how to make someone else sound even better. She says she was “getting paid for self-control,” which is one of the best descriptions of professional background singing I have ever heard. That whole section of the conversation is full of insight for anyone who cares about what it means to serve the music at a very high level.We also talk about church, family, and the support system that made her life in music possible. Wendy reflects on growing up in Memphis, singing in church, and learning early how to stand in front of people, even when she was shy and uncomfortable. She shares how much her parents sacrificed to create opportunities for her and her siblings, and how much those sacrifices still mean to her now. We also spend time talking about her Grand Ole Opry appearances, including the emotion of making her Opry debut without her parents there to see it, and the significance of standing on that stage as a Black woman in a space where history has not always made room for everyone.Along the way, we get into her years at EMI, the pressure to be shaped into whatever version of success the label wanted at the time, and the freedom she eventually found by building a career outside the usual boxes. Wendy talks openly about not needing fame in the conventional sense, about loving the role of underdog, and about continuing to surprise people. This is a conversation about singing, certainly, but also about resilience, humility, excellence, and how to remain generous and grounded across four decades in music.Key TakeawaysWendy Moten reflects on building a career across pop, country, jazz, Americana, sessions, television, and touring without being confined to one lane.She shares how 15 years with Julio Iglesias taught her phrasing, breath, dynamics, communication, and the art of listening more deeply.Wendy talks about singing with Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers, and how she developed her own authentic relationship to country music.She offers a sharp and memorable perspective on background vocals: great harmony singing requires self-control, consistency, and leaving your ego at home.The conversation explores how the church shaped her confidence, artistry, and ability to recover from mistakes in front of an audience.Wendy also reflects on The Voice, why she chose to do it, and how it introduced her to a new audience without diminishing everything that came before it.We discuss the Grand Ole Opry, the emotional weight of her debut, and the significance of taking up space in a tradition that has not always been inclusive.Music from the EpisodeOde to Billy Joe - Wendy MotenDon't Touch Me - Wendy MotenDriving Nails in My Coffin - Wendy MotenFaithless Love - Wendy Moten (with Vince Gill)About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, career, collaboration, and the life experiences that shape the music.

MISSOURI OR MISERY? A MIDWESTERNERS GUIDE TO THE BEAUTIFUL SHOW-ME STATE Five acts dropped from the Freedom 250 Mall concert in 24 hours. The same artists had no problem performing for Obama. Vanilla Ice is performing anyway and doesn't understand what the problem is. Plus: the case for Missouri as America's most underrated summer vacation, the Everything Tax on Missouri's August ballot, and a welfare check on Shawn Ryan after he spent three hours blackpilling Megyn Kelly on his own podcast.

The controversy surrounding the Great American State Fair is heating up as more artists distance themselves from the event, including legendary performers who say they no longer want to be associated with the celebration. Is this a principled stand against politics, or another example of America's growing cultural divide?Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we examine why artists like Martina McBride, Morris Day, Bret Michaels, and others have found themselves at the center of a national debate. Should entertainers use their platforms to make political statements, or should music remain separate from politics? And what does this latest controversy say about the state of free expression, patriotism, and public discourse in America?As an Independent, Arrington breaks down both sides of the argument and asks the tough questions: Are these artists standing on principle, bowing to pressure, or simply exercising their right to choose where they perform? And can Americans still come together for a celebration without politics getting in the way?

Martina McBride. The Commodores. Brett Michaels. Young MC. One by one, they're dropping out of America's 250th birthday celebration — and the reason they're giving doesn't hold up. They called it "nonpartisan." But when Obama hosted, the celebrities were dripping off the stage. Lance Wallnau breaks down the celebrity exodus from the America 250 concert, the federal judges who stripped Trump's name from the Kennedy Center the same week, and why a New York Giants quarterback had to apologize to his team for simply introducing the President of the United States. Plus — what Jesus' parable of the tares and the wheat tells us about why the left cannot coexist in the same field with anyone who disagrees. In this episode:

In episode 2067, Jack and guest co-host Becca Ramos are joined by comedian, co-host of Lady to Lady, and founder of Burn This Records, Brandi Posey, to discuss… Even More Acts Dropped Out Of America’s 250th B-Day Concert, They Unboxed the T1 (Trump Phone), AI Feels Like It’s Developing Fetishes Now and more!

Let's talk about Trump, Martina McBride, and a fair….

Todd Blanche will do anything for Trump — even take the fall. Trump robs his own IRS for $1.8 billion. His birthday gala collapses. Live. Sunday. In this episode: • Todd Blanche — the acting Attorney General walking the exact same path as Rudy Giuliani • Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion, then his own Justice Department settled in secret • The $1.8 billion "weaponization fund" a federal judge just decided to investigate • The secret addendum that drops every Trump audit — forever • Trump paid $750 in federal taxes — what his leaked returns actually showed • His 80th birthday gala falls apart as artist after artist cancels • A judge orders Trump's name off the Kennedy Center • Booz Allen, Edward Snowden, and the government contractor scam Key figures covered: Todd Blanche, Donald Trump, Charles Edward Littlejohn, Morris Day, Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, Lee Zeldin, Sidney Powell, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis

What's good, Pitmasters? Welcome back to the studio! In tonight's episode, the crew is diving headfirst into a massive week of absolute chaos across music, sports, and comedy. Pull up a chair, because we have a LOT to break down.

On today's show, Scoot talks about Vanilla Ice saying he'd perform for the Freedom 250 concert and shares stories about his encounters with David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. Also, The White House's pressure campaign against critics keeps raising serious questions about free speech in America. Is freedom of speech really under attack right now, and are we doing enough to protect it when the target is someone we don't like? Finally, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, The Commodores, Morris Day, Young MC, and other artists have pulled out of the Freedom 250 concert series after saying they believed it was supposed to be a nonpartisan celebration of America's 250th birthday, not a Trump-linked political event. Who's left to play the party now, and what does it say when even nostalgia acts don't want to get dragged into the politics of 2026?

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Bob is still on the mend and Haley is galavanting so  Chad and Mary Lou wade into conversations about:

A star-studded musical celebration is in the works for the United States' 250th birthday, but more big acts have been backing away. Trump's administration had publicised multiple headliners for a 'Freedom 250' concert series between 25 June and 10 July, but Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, Young MC and the Commodores all confirmed they were pulling out. This leaves Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flo Rida in the lineup, but Trump is reportedly considering cancelling the musical performances altogether. US correspondent Richard Arnold says Trump is considering hosting a 'Make America Great Again rally' instead. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Martina McBride is one of many artists who have now canceled for President Trump's ‘Freedom 250' concert this summer. In part of an initiative planned by the Trump administration, fans took to social media to criticize the artists on the roster for performing. Morris Day, leader of the Time, announced that a performance by his funk ensemble was “a no for me,” and others soon followed suit, including William King of the Commodores and Young MC. Also Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Joan Baez, and more artists and activist are among the star-studded lineup for Tom Morello's Power to the People Festival this October Former first lady Jill Biden is now the target of ire among former Biden administration officials for her recent comments expressing the shock she said she had while watching her husband's now-infamous debate performance.

Martina McBride has pulled out of the America 250 celebration set for the Washington Mall. She claims it’s because of politics. I wish I could tell you that I’m surprised by McBride’s cowardice, but I’m not. When it comes to modern-day entertainers, courage is hard to come by. But I am troubled by her lack of patriotism. Martina McBride had a chance to be a part of a diverse soundtrack to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. Instead, she chose to be a partisan rather than a patriot.

It might be an uneventful weekend, if there are no anomalies. David Waldman and KITM could be the biggest thrill you get! Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Milli Vanilli, and scores of other bands and performers that you were dimly aware of decades ago are now bowing out of Trump's "Freedom 250". Groups are vying to sign up so that they too can bail out for the street cred. Kid Rock is still waiting for his invitation. Trump Is spending millions to cover four horse statues in gold before he selects one as Senator at the event. But of course, he did: Trump is having the DOJ launch a criminal investigation on his rape victim, E. Jean Carroll. But of course, it is: This investigation is a major headache for Senate Gops. A judge has temporarily blocked Trump from ladling out slush to his Jan 6 troopers, while fraud charges are being investigated against him.  Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not guilty again and again, while probably never to actually go free. Joe Biden has plenty of reasons to sue the DOJ and has picked one. Trump refiles his lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, because he can. Shhh… Samuel Alito's son has been quietly working for Trump's Treasury department. History's biggest pyramid scheme might not be propping up America's economy for much longer.

Dan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests, square dances, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass, those early experiences were life changing.“Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of my record player,” he remembers. “I loved it. Wherever music was being played, I wanted to go watch. Years later, I still feel that way.”Throughout his 30+ year career, Tyminski has left his mark in every corner of modern music. His voice famously accompanies George Clooney's performance of the Stanley Brothers' classic song, “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow,” in the film, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on the song “Hey Brother” was a global smash, having been streamed more than a billion times to date. His diverse solo projects and years of work with Alison Krauss and Union Station have yielded troves of award-winning music. In recent years, Tyminski's live shows with the Dan Tyminski Band have become bluegrass fan favorites and are regularly on the must-see lists among music fans of any genre. With his newest album release – the Grammy-nominated 2024 concert album Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman – he captures the magic of those live shows, while also proving that he still has the same passion for live music as he did when he was growing up.  His earliest touring and recording work was as a part of the band, Green Mountain Bluegrass. He later joined the influential bluegrass group, Lonesome River Band, before embarking on his three decades of work with Alison Krauss and Union Station. The first album that Tyminski recorded as a solo artist was the soul-stirring Carry Me Across the Mountain (2000), followed by the Grammy-nominated Wheels (2008) which was named the 2009 Album of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.  His work with the EDM artist, Avicii, inspired Dan to create the genre-defying Southern Gothic album, released in 2017 to much critical acclaim. Tyminski would then showcase again his heart for bluegrass with the 2022 EP tribute to Tony Rice, One More Time Before You Go, which included guest performances by Molly Tuttle, Sam Bush, Dailey & Vincent, and Billy Strings. The following year saw the release of the full-length bluegrass album, God Fearing Heathen, which quickly hit #1 on Billboard's Bluegrass Albums chart.  Over the course of his career, Tyminski has also evolved into a prolific songwriter, penning songs with Monty Criswell, Phillip Lammonds, Kristian Bush, Ashley Monroe, Chris Stapleton and many others. Dan has been honored with 14 Grammy Awards and is a four-time Male Vocalist of the Year honoree by the International Bluegrass Music Association. He has also recorded instrumental or vocal harmony contributions for projects by Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Joan Osborne, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Chesney, LeAnn Rimes, Rob Thomas, and Charlie Haden, to name a few. Tyminski certainly represents the pinnacle of modern bluegrass music. While Dan enjoys a good conversation and a good cigar, he can often be found participating in charitable Pro-Am golf tournaments, as well as competing regularly in the Foosball tournament circuit.

Think the Grammys always reward the biggest voices? We put that idea on trial. From Luke Combs and Blake Shelton to Eric Church and Martina McBride, we map the stunning list of country heavyweights with multiple nominations and zero wins—and ask what those numbers really say about merit, timing, and taste. Then we widen the lens: Jelly Roll's breakout sweep, Zac Top's historic Traditional Country win, and how a single new category can rewrite a career's story overnight.We keep the momentum with a packed news slate: Lainey Wilson's cryptic “Can't Sit Still” teasers and possible Netflix tie‑in, Hardy's cinematic multi‑generational collab featuring Tim McGraw, Eric Church, and Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar tour routing through Fenway Park, and The Voice's two‑hour season launch after the Winter Games. Along the way, we talk performance versus polish, the role of auto‑tune in modern crossovers, and why some artists soar on stage even if the trophies never land.Our community brings the heat with the Question of the Day: name an artist who left a famous band and built a real solo legacy. From Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, and Peter Gabriel to Darius Rucker and Peter Cetera, your picks fuel a rapid-fire tour through rock, country, pop, and beyond. We balance it with a transparent look at the business: do labels still help, or are they just advances with branding? Is touring truly profitable for rising acts in vans and trailers?

In his 30+ years, Kimo has met his fair share of country artists and Martina McBride was always one of his favorites. In fact he had a little crush on her. But there was one artist who had a thing for HIM! He revealed who it was this morning.

In this high-fidelity conversation recorded live at the 2026 30A Songwriters Festival in Walton County, Florida, Jrod sits down with one of the most revered voices in American music: Gretchen Peters. Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and a recipient of the ACM Poet's Award, Gretchen Peters has spent her career deconstructing the human condition. While she is the pen behind legendary hits like Martina McBride's "Independence Day" and Faith Hill's "The Secret of Life," her own discography is a masterclass in "Americanoir"—a blend of folk, country, and dark, literary grit. In this episode, we explore the "Soul and Motion" of her craft, from the viral magic of a family cake recipe to the discipline required to create masterpieces in a culture with a shrinking attention span. The Cultural Blueprint: We start with the lighthearted—the story behind her grandmother's viral cake—before diving into the "dark side" of music. The Art of the Uncomfortable: Gretchen discusses why she is drawn to the shadows of humanity and the necessity of "scratching the surface" of sadness. The Independent Pioneer: Insights into her journey as a trailblazer for independent label status and the evolving music industry. Focus in a Fast World: A deep dive into "quick attention span culture" and the struggle to maintain the ability to sit and focus on long-form art. The Legacy: What Gretchen hopes her art leaves behind when all is said and done. Live Performance: A stunning performance of her song, "Five Minutes." __ Follow Jrodconcerts: Instagram: @Jrodconcertsmedia Website: jrodconcertsmedia.com Learn more about Gretchen Peters: gretchenpeters.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when the worst thing you've been afraid of actually happens—and you're still standing? In this episode of Typology, I sit down with songwriter Brad Warren—an Enneagram Six, a man in long-term recovery, a husband, a father, and someone who has walked straight through unimaginable grief and come out the other side with humility, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Brad is the kind of person who tells the truth without posturing, who can laugh at himself without diminishing himself, and who understands—deeply—that fear doesn't disappear just because you name it. But naming it does change the game. We talk about the Enneagram Six's instinct to scan the horizon for danger, to rehearse conversations that never happen, and to catastrophize not because they're weak—but because they care. A lot. Brad shares how losing a child forced him to face his worst fears head-on, and how recovery, faith, and accountability helped him learn the difference between imagined catastrophe and lived reality. There's a kind of quiet courage in the way he describes trusting God—not a God who's looking to smite him, but one who's patiently inviting him to rest. Along the way, we explore humor as both a survival strategy and a spiritual practice, the surprising connection between humility and laughter, and how Sixes learn to move from fear-driven vigilance to faith-filled presence. We also touch on marriage, loyalty, religious deconstruction with gratitude instead of bitterness, and the life-saving power of people who are willing to tell you the truth when your mind is lying to you. This episode is funny, tender, honest, and deeply human. It's about fear—but it's even more about trust. And what it looks like, day by day, to choose it anyway.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Brad Warren Brad Warren is a Nashville-based songwriter and artist best known as one half of the hitmaking Warren Brothers.
