EXCLUSIVE ARTIST INTERVIEW: TEN MINUTES WITH JASON MICHAEL CARROLL

We attended Jason Michael Carroll's Birthday Bash at The Farm in Selma, NC back on 6/14 and he was gracious enough to give us some time before the show to just sit down and catch up and talk about what's been going on with him and of course to laugh. He's always such a nice guy, very approachable and is very generous with the free time he has and we appreciate him for that. We talked about his Honky Tonk Friends fan base, his latest music projects, CMA Fest, his overseas tour and just honestly, a little of everything. We love this guy, everything about him and once you get to know him, you'll love him too.

He has a new single and cd/dvd release coming out in the next few months, so get ready to start hitting up your radio stations. We'll raise the flag when the race is on!

VIDEO TUTORIAL: "BEEF JERKY: THE HODGES WAY"

So about 2 years ago, in a previous interview, we asked JT Hodges if he had any special hidden talents fans might not know about. His answer was that he could down an entire package of Jack Links beef jerky in under a minute.

Well, we had the pleasure of catching up with him before his show at The Farm in Selma, NC this weekend and you know we couldn't let that "challenge" pass by without showing up with a bag of jerky and a double dog dare. Turns out he had just eaten a huge dinner but he was more than willing share his special "technique" on how to properly eat the beef jerky. Excuse the laughing, he was killing me! LOL! This is a classic!

And now ladies and gentleman, may I present a JT Hodges tutorial -  "Beef Jerky: The Hodges Way" ...
