Mike LuBeck’s Labor Day Music Showcase
One of the main topics of discussion was Mike’s upcoming Labor Day weekend music showcase at Tanner’s Lakeside in Winter Haven, Florida. This annual event has become a staple for local music lovers, and Mike never disappoints with his lineup. This year, he’s bringing together a diverse group of talented musicians, and the anticipation is already building. Mike shared some behind-the-scenes details about the event, including his vision for the showcase and how he selected the artists.
The Lineup:
Miss Meaty Okra: Kicking off the showcase is the uniquely talented Miss Meaty Okra. With her ukulele in hand, she brings a quirky and engaging vibe to the stage. Mike described her as a "ragtime folk artist with a twist," and we can’t wait to see her perform live. Her music is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern wit, making her an absolute must-see at the event.
Korey Ketchum: Next up is Korey Ketchum, a rising star in the country music scene. Mike spoke highly of Korey’s professionalism and dedication to his craft, and it’s clear that this young artist has a bright future ahead of him. Korey’s smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics are sure to resonate with the audience, making him a standout act at the showcase.
Brad Brock: Closing out the evening is none other than our very own Brad Brock, who will be bringing his unique one-man-band show to the stage. Brad’s performances are a marvel to witness as he skillfully plays guitar, bass, and drums while singing in harmony—all without the use of backing tracks or live looping. His dynamic approach to live music, combining multiple instruments and harmonies in real-time, is sure to leave the crowd amazed and entertained.
In addition to these acts, the showcase will feature several other talented performers, including iconic duos and seasoned musicians who are sure to deliver unforgettable performances. Mike emphasized that this event is not just about the music – it’s about bringing people together, celebrating local talent, and creating a sense of community.

Elly’s Bad Bitch Bible Study: The Importance of Self-Awareness
One of the standout moments of this episode was Elly’s Bad Bitch Bible Study, where she tackled the popular phrase, “Don’t worry about what people think about you.” Elly challenged this notion, arguing that while it’s important not to let others’ opinions affect your self-worth, it’s equally important to be aware of how you’re perceived by those around you.
Elly’s segment sparked a lively discussion among the crew, with everyone weighing in on the balance between self-confidence and self-awareness. The consensus? It’s crucial to take feedback into account, especially from those who matter to you, but always filter it through your own sense of self. This thoughtful and engaging discussion is exactly what makes Bad Bitch Bible Study a must-listen segment every week.
Name That Tune: Labor Day Edition
Of course, no episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails Live would be complete without a round of Name That Tune. This week’s edition was all about Labor Day, with songs focused on working hard and earning that dollar. From Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It” to Donna Summer’s “She Works Hard for the Money,” the competition was fierce. As always, the crew had a blast trying to guess the songs, and the audience participation in the chat was off the charts.
Wrapping Up with Shameless Plugs
We wrapped up the episode with our usual round of Shameless Plugs, where we highlight upcoming events, shout out our sponsors, and remind our listeners to follow us on social media. Mike shared details about his upcoming gigs, including his show at Gloria Estefan’s Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa and his performance at the Taco Shack in Stuart. We also reminded everyone about the Riffs and Rhythms Music Festival coming up in November, where Brad will be performing.
