After ten years of hosting "Honky Tonkin' with Tracy Lawrence," the Country singer has announced he will step down from his role as host. Starting in January 2025, the show will be taken over by the syndicated morning duo Big D & Bubba, who plan to expand the program's reach and bring their signature style to the airwaves.
Reflecting on his time as host, Lawrence said, "It's been a joy and an honor to spend all these years with listeners, sharing laughs, stories, and great country music with people who have the same love for these songs that I've always felt."
Big D & Bubba expressed excitement about taking over the reins. "What an amazing job T.L. has done," said Big D. "We've been fans of Tracy's for years, and we are excited to do our best to take the show to the next level with more artist interviews, listener interaction, and some of the best country music ever made!"
Bubba added, "Tracy Lawrence is genuinely one of the coolest and most talented people we've had the pleasure of working with. What an incredible run as the host of Honky Tonkin', and we couldn't be more thrilled about what's coming next for Tracy. Likewise, moving forward, we are excited to take over as hosts, celebrating the honky-tonk hits we love while getting to hang with our heroes and artist-friends, sharing amazing stories week after week."
Honky Tonkin' with Big D & Bubba will continue to focus on country hits from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, maintaining the spirit of the show that Lawrence built. The three-hour weekly program will bring fresh ideas and new segments, alongside the duo's lively energy and commitment to the format.
The show will remain under the production of Silverfish Media and distribution by Compass Media Networks. In addition to hosting Honky Tonkin', Big D & Bubba will continue their nationally syndicated weekday morning show, The Big D & Bubba Show, alongside co-host Jessica Humphreville ("Carsen").
