Hosted by Rick Morton, Edina Macic, and producer D-Rock (Derrick Malbrough), the show already airs in markets including San Diego, Boise, and Key West.

Morton said, "We are thrilled to be coming to Clarksville and the Nashville area. D-Rock has his boots and cowboy hat ready and Edina's getting her line dancing down. It's a special part of America and we love to be able to connect with the new audience of 105.1 WJZM, Huge thank you to our team at Benztown, Mark Wilson and Fowler Media for making it happen.
