    This show begins from the backstage area of the Beale Street Music Festival during the Memphis In May festivities.  George Klein invited Mike Arnold backstage to hang out after Jerry Lee Lewis’ set.  Mike interviewed George Klein discussing his career, his friendship with Elvis Presley, and his latest book, “Elvis, My Best Man.”

    George also introduced Mike to Memphis musician, Nate Whitlock, which Mike also took the opportunity to interview Nate about his career, his latest solo project, and his brother, Bobby Whitlock.

    Last year the team from Concert Blast was invited to cover the Musicians Hall of Fame Ceremony as former Jimi Hendrix bass player, Billy Cox along with long-time musician/singer/songwriter/performer, Charlie Daniels were inducted into the Hall.

    When the guys completed the conversation with Billy Cox, they had a fun interview with Charlie Daniels as he discussed living in Mt. Juliet, TN, the Musicians Hall of Fame, his Christianity, and an on-stage embarrassment.

    Last July Concert Blast was invited to a late afternoon show at BB Kings in Nashville, TN with solo artist, Charlotte Medley and 80’s hit maker, Tommy Tutone.  Charlotte opened the show and then came to discuss her latest project with the guys.  Several fans interrupted the conversation as they lined up around our table to get their CDs autographed, which they just purchased.

    Tommy Tutone performed his set with a smooth, soulful band then headed straight to the Concert Blast table as soon as he said goodnight from the stage.  Tommy discussed moving back to Nashville, his new sound, commercials using his song, and his marriage (along with his wife).

    We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as the team from Concert Blast did creating it.
