Judah & the Lion stop by the studio before their performance at Hangout Music Fest, so they can update Lightning 100 on their tour plans and give Lt. Dan a history refresher on who exactly is a Nashville native (spoiler alert: it’s vocalist and guitarist, Judah Akers). On air they break down their new album Pep Talks, getting real about the emotions that fuel their music, after some talk about music festival hot tubs, port-a-potties, and artists embracing the camping experience.

Pep Talks dropped May 3rd, 2019, boasting seventeen songs on their fourth full release album. Title track “Pep Talk” sees great success but “Don’t Mess With My Mama” was a hit with Mother’s day just last weekend. The band took to Twitter with suggestions on how to involve moms and promote Pep Talks.

Help us self promote our new record PEP TALKS by….

1. Telling a friend.
2. Hosting your own pep talks listening hang out.
3. Raging with us at our shows.
4. Forcing your moms to listen.
5. Making your children listen to it all day. (Brain washing)

Luv u
