We had some connections issues as the boys of Parmalee are on the road out east but thankfully we muddled through it and got some great stuff. Parmalee is the most played group/band on Country Radio in 2023. Five #1 singles, multi-platinum selling records, and over 1 billion streams online… and coming to Nashville – Illinois- on July 9th to the Washington county fair. Get your tickets at thewashingtoncountyfair.com and we'll see you in NashVegas this summer! Thanks again to Barry Knox, Josh McSwain, Matt Thomas, and Scott Thomas for the time this morning!
