🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Kaylee has left the building (just for tonight, don’t panic 😅). But don’t worry — The Bluegrass Connection is still alive and pickin’! 🎻✨

Somebody else is steering the ship tonight, so here’s your mission:
👉 Call 855-935-9296 and flood the lines with your requests. Let’s keep ’em on their toes.

Because nothing says “welcome to the show” like 47 requests for “Teadrop Inn.” 😉

Tune in 6–10 PM EST on 93.5 WAXM and let’s see what kind of trouble y’all can stir up without me there to wrangle it. 💙🎶
