You’ve heard me introduce rock bands—but have you heard me read an entire book? 🎙️📖

Back in 2017, I narrated Rebel Bulldog by Jason Lantzer. It tells the true story of Preston Davidson, a Northerner who fought for the Confederacy, and a family whose lives stretched across both sides of the Civil War.

A different kind of storytelling from Rock 30, and a project I’m proud to share.

It’s available on Audible. Look for my narrator credit under Lloyd Hocutt—yep, that’s me!

What’s an audiobook you couldn’t stop listening to?

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Rebel Bulldog tells the story of Preston Davidson, a Northerner who fought for the Confederacy, and his family who lived in Indiana and Virginia. It is a story that examines antebellum religion, education, reform, and politics, and how they affected the .....

Three years ago, Catch Your Breath was watching “Dial Tone” begin to change everything. Now Josh Mowery returns to the Rock 30 with LA Lloyd to talk about what happened after the breakthrough—and what success doesn’t fix.
Josh opens up about broken relationships becoming songs, why the people who inspired some of them probably aren’t showing up at his concerts, and the obsession that can keep him in the vocal booth for hours chasing something more important than perfection: making people feel what he’s singing.
They also get into the new album Not Broken Enough, why “Red Alert” was recorded four different times, the darker side of “Control,” and what the band has learned while chasing this dream together.
And when Lloyd asks what would remain if the streams, charts and big rooms disappeared tomorrow, Josh’s answer has nothing to do with music industry success. It’s about the life he found along the way.

The Journey keeps going!

We are very proud and grateful to announce that our film I Took The Road Less Traveled - Documentary has been officially selected for the Amarillo International Film Festival! Heart of Route 66!

It will be screened next Saturday the 10th at 3:00 PM.

We are so grateful for all the love and support we are receiving. Trying to make your mark playing original songs in the country that created Rock and Roll is not an easy task, but it's worth every mile from my home in Spain to the US.

Let's keep dreaming and catching dreams! Stubborn Rock!

Getting older doesn't mean getting quieter. Chris Jericho returns for his seventh conversation with L.A. Lloyd, and this one goes somewhere neither of them necessarily expected. What begins with a look back at the years it took Jericho to truly find his voice in Fozzy becomes a much more personal conversation about age, ambition, and refusing to let other people decide when it's time for you to stop.Jericho talks about why success was never one final destination, the importance of continuing to take chances, and why failure isn't really failure if you're willing to try. Along the way, he and Lloyd discover some common ground: they're both still doing what they love at a point in life when the world sometimes expects you to start slowing down.It's a conversation about music and Fozzy, but underneath it all, it's about something bigger—staying curious, staying hungry, and not letting age write the ending for you.

Everybody has a ghost. 👻
After six years away from his hometown in Spain, Bull-Diego from Bull y Los Búfalos went home — and found himself facing some of his own.
Fear. Self-doubt. Insecurity. Those things we think we've defeated have a way of finding us again.
That experience helped inspire his new song “Ghost.”
This weekend, “Ghost” is my LA Lloyd Pick of the Week on the Rock 30.
Bull y Los Búfalos joins me to tell the story behind it.

Des Rocs went to hell and back to make this record.

Back problems. An injured voice. And the challenge of giving up control without losing what makes his music his own.

This weekend, Des Rocs joins L.A. Lloyd to talk about the pain left inside To Hell and Back, the rock-and-roll escape of “When the Love Is Gone,” and how Borderlands 4 introduced “This Land” to a whole new audience.

My heart is aching again way too soon. As I have just returned from Charlotte last weekend for my college roommate’s celebration of life, I lost another close college friend today. Chris Faw one of the greats passed away during surgery today. We were part of a college radio station WWCU Western Carolina University…so many great jocks had an illustrious career in our group after graduation. We began our radio career together at WKZQ in Myrtle Beach and I stayed on the broadcasting path still to this day. Chris was a well-respected great businessman in the cable industry and everything that it became. The last time I saw him was October 27, 2023 at WCU homecoming. He was there as a keynote speaker after he and his wife donated 100K in scholarships to future Radio/TV students. He was always someone I looked up to in college…coolest dude ever with his looks, the beard, the shades, the hair and his wit. A great husband to Cathy, amazing Father, Son, Brother, Grandfather…and to me Friend. What a tremendous loss. My heart was aching last weekend and now it’s broken. I will miss you Chris.
