Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs welcome Nancy Jones, wife of the late George Jones, back to the Nashville Palace for a conversation full of stories about George and a preview of his upcoming birthday celebration.

Nancy shares details on the George Jones 95th Birthday Bash happening September 13th at the Nashville Palace, including the stacked lineup she helped put together: Jamey Johnson, Ernest, T. Graham Brown, Lorrie Morgan, Jesse Keith Whitley, Tanya Tucker, Jake Worthington, Billy Yates, Heath Wright of Ricochet, and Dean Dillon, with Cletus T. Judd hosting.

The conversation turns to Nancy's memories of George, including the story of how she first met him in New York in November of 1981, after being talked into going to one of his shows, and how their relationship took off from there. Barrett also shares the story of the day he, George, and his road manager Peewee spent riding around picking songs together for the Cold Hard Truth album, notepads in hand in the back of the car, a day that would end with George's headline-making car accident.

Nancy also gives an update on the future George Jones Museum being built on their old property, along with plans to bring back the Christmas lights display that once drew crowds to their home every year.

Pull up a chair and settle in for another round of the Nashville Palace Podcast… where the stars drop in.

Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs welcome Taylor Winston, the man behind the Nashville Palace's country dancing program, for a conversation covering his time in the Marine Corps, an unlikely career path, one of the most difficult nights of his life, and Nashville Dance Fest.

Taylor talks about growing up in Round Mountain, Nevada, joining the Marine Corps, training in aviation, making sergeant, and serving on a police transition team in Iraq. From there, he shares stories from an unexpected career path that included working as a roller coaster ride mechanic at SeaWorld San Diego, building custom furniture, and eventually helping progress the dancing movement in Nashville.

The conversation turns to how Taylor first found the Nashville Palace during COVID, when the room that now hosts the dance floor was sitting mostly unused, and how that discovery led him to build the Palace's dancing program from the ground up. That work eventually grew into Nashville Dance Fest, the country dancing festival he now runs every year in the Palace parking lot.

Taylor also opens up about the Route 91 shooting in Las Vegas, where he helped save over two dozen lives, and the year of trauma therapy work that followed.

Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs welcome friend and traditional country artist Dillon Carmichael back to the Nashville Palace for a wide-ranging conversation about family, music, the road, and so much more.

Dillon talks about growing up in small-town Kentucky in a family stacked with country music history, from his uncles Eddie Montgomery and John Michael Montgomery, to his mother Becky Montgomery, who recorded her own country album, to his grandfather Harold Montgomery, a rockabilly performer from the 1950s and '60s.

The conversation turns to Dillon's start in music, including his first paid gig at 16 in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and cutting his teeth at the same Lexington honky-tonk where Eddie and John Michael Montgomery once played. He also opens up about the years he spent splitting time between Nashville and Kentucky just to find stages that still wanted traditional country music.

Dillon and the hosts also dig into his history with the Nashville Palace itself, plus a few road stories involving his band and a certain "indestructible" bottle of Crown Royal. He closes out the episode with a live performance of a new song.
