Welcome back, Jammers, to another unforgettable episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails Live! If you missed the latest show, don't worry – we're here to give you all the highlights, laughs, and insights from a night filled with music, cocktails, and spirited conversation. Hosted by the ever-charismatic Brad Brock, this episode took us on a rollercoaster of emotions, memories, and fun, proving once again why Jams 'N' Cocktails is the ultimate midweek hangout.
Kicking Off the Night: Jams and Cocktails Galore
Brad Brock opened the show with his signature charm, welcoming viewers and introducing his co-hosts for the evening – the always lively Jordyn Taylor and the master of mischief, Derek Zugel. From the start, it was clear this episode would live up to the show's name, with plenty of both jams and cocktails on the menu.
As the night began, the crew wasted no time diving into their first order of business: the cocktail of the week. In celebration of National Rum Month, they mixed up a classic mojito, but with a unique twist. Derek, ever the creative bartender, added his spin to the traditional recipe, showcasing how a simple cocktail can be personalized to fit your taste. With fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and a touch of soda, the mojito segment set the tone for an evening of refreshing conversation and camaraderie.
A Trip Down Memory Lane: Childhood Cartoons and Safety Harbor Adventures
The episode took a nostalgic turn as Brad, Jordyn, and Derek reminisced about their favorite childhood cartoons. From Darkwing Duck to DuckTales, the crew shared stories that had everyone smiling. The conversation was a reminder of the simple joys of childhood and how those memories still bring us together.
But the trip down memory lane didn't stop there. Brad and Jordyn recounted their recent adventure to Safety Harbor, Florida. After a morning performance at the Vero Beach Farmers Market, the duo headed to Safety Harbor for a weekend getaway. They stayed at the charming Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, where Brad had a gig at Bar fly, a local venue with a fantastic stage and an even better crowd. Their tales of relaxation, cake in bed, and live music had us all wishing for our own little escape.
Heartfelt Discussions: The Closure of Sneaki Tiki
The episode wasn't without its serious moments. Brad took some time to discuss the unexpected closure of Sneaki Tiki, a beloved local spot in downtown Stuart. The closure hit close to home for Brad, who had been performing there for years. He shared his frustration and sadness over the loss of a venue that embodied the spirit of old Florida, a place where everyone felt welcome.
Derek weighed in with his thoughts on the broader implications of the closure, linking it to the upcoming arrival of the Brightline train in the area and the changes it could bring to the local landscape. The discussion was a poignant reminder of how rapidly things can change and the importance of supporting local businesses that contribute to the unique character of our communities.
The Jordy Files: Celebrity Gossip and More
No episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails would be complete without The Jordy Files, and this week, Jordyn delivered the goods. From celebrity birthdays to Nelly's unexpected run-in with the law, Ed Sheeran's spicy hot sauce promotion, and Miley Cyrus being named the youngest Disney Legend, The Jordy Files kept us informed and entertained.
Jordyn's infectious energy and humor were on full display as she navigated the latest in pop culture news. Whether she was speculating on the future of Miley Cyrus or cracking jokes about Nelly's arrest, Jordyn had us all laughing along with her.
Live Music: Brad Brock Takes the Stage
Of course, it wouldn't be Jams 'N' Cocktails without some live music. Brad grabbed his guitar and treated the audience to a set of classic tunes, taking requests from the chat and delivering heartfelt performances.

The live music segment is always a highlight, and this week was no exception. Brad's passion for music shone through in every song, making it clear why he's the heart and soul of the show.
Name That Tune: Testing the Crew's Music Knowledge
The episode also featured the ever-popular "Name That Tune" segment, where Brad put the crew's music knowledge to the test. The theme for this round was "Born and Raised in South Detroit," a playful nod to the infamous line from Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Jordyn and Derek went head-to-head, with some help from the audience, trying to guess the songs from short audio clips. The competition was fierce, the laughter was plenty, and the game added an extra layer of fun to the night.
Shameless Plugs and Outro: Wrapping Up the Night
