We're recapping our night at Pesca by Michael’s in Vilano Beach — a stylish rooftop hideaway with cozy blankets, moody lighting, and standout Brussels sprouts (yes, really!).

But the real spotlight belongs to Vegas Gray — a powerhouse trio made up of a father, daughter, and her boyfriend. Their chemistry, killer vocals, and crowd connection made it feel more like a private concert than a casual night out. You don’t just hear them — you feel every note.

If you missed it… we’re sorry. But you can live it vicariously through us in this episode.

I got to hang out with my friend Kaden Collins and chat about a song that really means a lot to him—Time Has Made a Change in Me by the Oak Ridge Boys. His love for the Oaks runs deep and this song took on a whole new meaning after he lost his grandma. We talked about how certain lyrics just hit differently when life changes, and how that connection to music helped him through some tough moments. He shared the sweetest story about how his school honored his grandma, how he started his podcast because of her, and even how he ended up connecting with William Lee Golden himself. It’s full of heart, hope, and some serious love for good storytelling through song.
