    Feb 19 2026

    In this Mardi Gras special, the Jams ‘N’ Cocktails crew dives headfirst into the mystery, music, and magic of New Orleans. From the spiritual roots of Voodoo and its deep cultural ties to Carnival, to the larger-than-life legends of Marie Laveau and Doctor John, this episode explores the rich history behind the beads, brass bands, and Bourbon Street energy. It’s equal parts storytelling, celebration, and classic JNC chaos.

    Of course, it wouldn’t be Mardi Gras without indulgence. The crew whips up a brand-new original cocktail, cooks a Crock Pot jambalaya, battles through a “Hoodoo Voodoo” music trivia showdown, and crafts iconic New Orleans drinks—including the dangerously delicious Hurricane and the infamous Hand Grenade. Whether you’re here for the history, the humor, or the hangover recipes, this episode brings the party straight to the lounge.

  • National Guitar Day: Iconic Riffs, Dream Guitars & The Songs That Changed Music
    Feb 12 2026

    Send a text

    This week on Jams ‘N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock cranks up the amps and celebrates National Guitar Day the only way he knows how—loud, nerdy, and with a properly garnished cocktail in hand. Joined by co-host Kevin McLoughlin (and a surprise appearance from Tracy), the crew dives deep into the rich, centuries-long history of the guitar—from ancient Mesopotamian stringed instruments to the electrifying innovations of Les Paul and Leo Fender.

    But this isn’t just a history lesson. Brad and Kevin swap personal stories about their favorite stage guitars, dream instruments, near-miss vintage regrets, and the magic of finding “the one.” They put their ears to the test in a riff-based round of Name That Tune, debate relic guitars vs. earned wear-and-tear, and even squeeze in a spontaneous guitar lesson packed with blues wisdom and practical theory. Whether you're a seasoned player or just love the sound of a screaming Telecaster, this episode hits all the right notes.
