There’s plenty of talk about the Cubs vs. Cardinals rivalry, influences like Treaty Oak Revival, and how Ole 60 is carving their own space in country and Americana. It’s a laid-back, genuine conversation about music, roots, and keeping it real on and off the stage. Brought to you by Surfside Iced Tea & Lemonade + Vodka — real vodka, real flavor, no excuses.
