Clay Mottley - “James & Joel”

August 15 – 7:30 PM

JT and Billy Joel were mainstays on radio as I grew up. From piano lessons as a kid before switching to guitar, Taylor and Joel wrote so many songs that you felt like you HAD to learn to play if you wanted to be considered a real musician! In fact, “Sweet Baby James” was the first song I taught myself to play on guitar.

But unlike many hit makers, these two prolific songwriters kept getting better with age. Not only were they prolific, their later songs are just as amazing as their early work, making the stories behind these songs all the better.

With “James & Joel,” I take the audience through the stories behind their biggest hits (as well as my favorite deep cuts) from the artists’ own words, and present my take on the timeless classics.

Glen Shelton

Dec 5 - 7:30pm

Glen Shelton is excited to release his new single to radio called “Less Than A Lady.”

“Less Than A Lady” is a song Glen and his wife wrote together about what she wants from him.

Since November 2022, after signing with Jordash Records, he has charted 5 consecutive singles on the Music Row Country Breakout Top 80 including 3 in the Top 50.

Glen loves music and he is thankful to God for giving him the gift of singing and for healing his voice. He was unable to sing and could barely speak years ago but the Lord completely restored his voice through vocal chord surgery! No one else in his family sings; however, his third cousin Ricky Van Shelton had a great career in Country music.
