This week’s episode we catch up with Roger Mooney NFR announcer and Jeff Medders owner of Geronimo productions. 24x gold buckle winner Trevor Brazile talks about what it’s like not being on the rodeo road 24/7 and Jeff Chadwick with Wrangler shares his Wrangler® National Patriot™ program experience.
Jim Casey talks with Lucas Hoge about growing up in tiny Hubbell, Nebraska, hunting and trapping in the Nebraska countryside, playing on the football team and in the marching band, leading three different bands—country, Southern rock and worship—while he was in high school, playing music for U.S. troops in places like Afghanistan with the Wrangler National Patriot program, his new single, “Dirty South,” new album coming out in July and more.

Join us this week as we welcome Country music singer songwriter, Lucas Hoge. Some people are just born communicators and Lucas Hoge has that gift. Whether he’s writing a song for a hit TV show, performing for troops overseas or sharing his love for the great outdoors with fellow sportsmen at a Cabela’s gathering, Hoge has that rare ability to find common ground with just about anyone and draw them into his world. Whether he’s delivering a breezy summer anthem like “Flip Flops,” the poignant ballad “Who’s Gonna Be There,” or his latest single “Boom Boom,” Hoge engages listeners with his warm, evocative vocals and emotional authenticity. Although appreciative of the chance to place his songs in numerous TV shows, recording his own albums and touring continued to be Hoge’s primary focus. He made his Ryman Auditorium debut in 2011 opening for the legendary George Jones, and he’s shared the stage with Rascal Flatts, Rodney Atkins, Craig Morgan, Hank Williams Jr. and others. Hoge is also part of the Armed Forces Entertainment: Wrangler National Patriot Tour and wrote the powerful “Medal of Honor,” which was chosen as the Wrangler National Patriot official theme song. In exciting news for 2017, Lucas will be releasing a new single in April along with a new album release later in the year during the summer. We will talk to Lucas about his upcoming schedule, get a behind the scenes look at his music, feature his latest songs, and ask him to share his message for the troops.

And as always we will give shout outs to our deployed military listeners. Our message to the troops: WE do what we do, because YOU do what you do.
Join us this week as we welcome country music singer songwriter, Lucas Hoge. Hailing from Hubbell, NE., Lucas’s soul-stirring voice isn’t the only thing that has gotten him noticed. He has appeared on TV with Faith Hill for the Sunday Night Football commercial campaign, with Toby Keith in his Christmas special and in a Mary Kay commercial with Danielle Peck and Jennifer Hanson. Lucas has toured Denmark, Norway, Sweden and has traveled to the Middle East to perform for our troops. “Not only was my trip to Iraq, Kuwait and Kosovo the greatest honor in my life, it was the most fun I’ve ever had,” Lucas says. “After my trip, I knew I wanted help our troops any way that I could, so I began by writing “Soldiers Creed” and “Medal Of Honor’” which is featured on the Music for Our Troops CD". Lucas joined the Armed Forces Entertainment: Wrangler® National Patriot Tour in 2011. Wrangler® sponsored 1,000 free download cards of “Medal Of Honor” and announced that “Medal Of Honor” is the Wrangler® National Patriot official theme song and now available for download on the WranglerNationalPatriot.com website. Lucas, now a permanent member of the tour, returns every Memorial Day week. The 2014 tour will head North to Alaska visiting several Coast Guard bases. We will talk to Lucas about his upcoming schedule, get a behind the scenes look at his music, feature his latest songs, and ask him to share his message for the troops.
