Wed, 11 Mar 2026 13:48:00 +0000

This isn’t polished for playlists.
This is rock that earns its damage and wears it proudly.

Small Town Stage, Stadium Dreams: JD Shelburne's American Anthem

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:34:00 +0000

If there’s a modern-day torchbearer for heartland grit and southern grace, it just might be JD Shelburne. In a conversation as grounded as it is galvanizing, the rising country star sat down with Don and Tina of Press Play Radio and brought his full self—boots, heart, and Kentucky soul—to the mic. The result? A portrait of a man whose roots run deep and whose dreams reach high.

“I’m just a guy from Taylorsville, Kentucky,” JD says with a humility that never once feels rehearsed. Yet, his journey from hometown gigs to Billboard charts and the hallowed steps of the Grand Ole Opry tells a story that would make any Nashville hopeful listen up. This is not an overnight success story—it’s a sunup to sundown hustle built on miles, music, and a mountain of fan connection.

JD’s authenticity doesn’t just show up in his lyrics—it’s in every handshake, every festival set, and every late-night drive to a small-town venue. “I do 200 dates a year,” he says, rattling off venues from grocery store grand openings to baseball stadium anthems. “Whether it’s 50 people or 5,000, I show up and play my heart out.”

And the fans notice. Tina shares how JD’s shows feel more like community reunions than concerts, and Don highlights the kind of Americana storytelling that runs through JD’s songs—tracks like “Church Pew Bar Stool” and “The Road I Grew Up On,” which blend nostalgia with sincerity and steel guitar. JD smiles: “Country music is real life. It’s about your mama, your church, your heartbreak. I try to put that into every song.”

The conversation weaves through career highs—like getting his music video played in Times Square—to personal milestones, like fatherhood and returning home to headline his own festival. “I remember cutting my teeth at the Kentucky State Fair,” JD says. “Now I’m bringing my son on stage. It’s full circle.”

For an artist who has shared stages with hitmakers like Jamey Johnson, Craig Morgan, and Clay Walker, JD’s compass hasn’t shifted. He talks about staying independent, building relationships directly with fans, and even designing his own merch. “I signed every one of those hats. Every shirt. That matters to me. I want people to know I’m accessible.”

And it shows. Whether he’s singing the national anthem for the Reds or performing at the Bluebird Café, JD Shelburne is building more than a career—he’s crafting a legacy grounded in gratitude, work ethic, and southern charm.

As he wraps the interview, JD leaves with this simple truth: “Be good to people. Do the right thing. And never forget where you came from.”

Country isn’t just a genre. For JD Shelburne, it’s a way of life.
And the road he grew up on? He’s still paving it—one song, one fan, one small-town spotlight at a time.

Still Hungry, Still Humble: Mark Kendall Talks Blues, Bars, and the Beauty of Great White

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:12:00 +0000

(This conversation occurred 1 month before Mark announced his cancer diagnosis. We here at Press Play send all of our love and support so that he can make a full recovery in remission)

Long before “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” became a permanent fixture on rock radio, Mark Kendall was already chasing something deeper than chart success — a sound that sings through the strings. In this no-holds-barred conversation with Don, Dean, and Tina of Press Play Radio, the Great White co-founder takes us on a full-circle journey: from teenage Santana-inspired licks to bluesy bars in the ‘80s, all the way to his reflections on legacy, gear, and the stories that shaped a generation.

Leave a note for Mark and the band Great White here!

https://pressplay.me/artist-letter/mark-kendall

https://pressplay.me/artist-letter/great-white

Right from the jump, Kendall makes it clear: he's not just a guitarist — he's a melodic narrator. His signature approach? Play like a singer. “Instead of just being flashy and doing stuff you forget in two minutes,” Kendall says, “I want people to remember what I played. I want to give them a melody they can hum.”

The chemistry with Jack Russell — Great White's original vocalist — is legendary. Mark shares the wild story of how they met, how Jack’s jail stint briefly paused their momentum, and how the band finally locked into its signature blues-infused hard rock sound. But it wasn’t always easy. Dropped from one label, signed to another, robbed of MTV airtime for having a “seven-minute single” (“Rock Me”), and yet they still managed to win the world over, one live show at a time.

There’s a reverence in Kendall’s voice when talking about influences — from Carlos Santana and Johnny Winter to David Gilmour and Hendrix. But perhaps the most surprising part? His humble honesty about gear. Despite his decades in the spotlight, Kendall’s still tweaking his tone, still learning, and still just as excited about a good amp as he was back when he was a kid spinning Cream and Elvis records in his living room.

Tina shares a personal memory of the first time she saw Great White live — a show so powerful it set her on the path to the music business. Dean dives into guitar nerd territory with Mark, comparing tone stacks, amp stacks, and tone chasing in the digital age. Don plays a deep cut off the Blue EP — a song so moving it stops the conversation cold — reminding everyone why Great White's catalog runs deeper than the hits.

By the end of the chat, Kendall leaves us with something rare: a reminder that the best players don’t just chase trends — they chase truth. “Play from the heart,” he says. “And play for the fans. They’re the reason any of this ever mattered.”

Mic dropped. Legacy intact. Rock still lives.
