Huckabee Guests

From Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium to listening rooms throughout the United States, husband-wife duo GOLDPINE has been offering their own brand of bold harmony-driven Americana to audiences large and small. WINNER of the 2022 Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest, their distinctive harmonies are clearly a channel for their sometimes-raucous, sometimes-reminiscent compositions. With an incredible collection of stories about life, love, and purpose, their live performance  is a powerful projection of everything Goldpine is about: striking vocals, bold harmony, and introspection into the human experience. 

“…sharing a sound that’s cast in honesty, emotion and homespun sentiment…the songs say it all, providing clear indication that Goldpine has established a precious standard.” -Lee Zimmerman (Goldmine Magazine) 

After nearly a decade of honing in on their sound, Goldpine released their sophomore album Two  and continues to waste no time showing what they stand for. Their  lead single, “Do You Have Me,” showcases Kassie’s powerhouse of a voice. Starting out slow, the song cycles through a pattern of harmonious verses and a commanding chorus, ultimately building to an instrumental interlude of southern electric guitars and a rhythmic tambourine. Two  is about real people and real situations, told through candid and passionate songwriting. “I want people to come away from this album and take an honest look at themselves,”  Ben remarks.  “An honest look at motives. An honest look at connections with other people. An honest look at how we use the time we've been given.”  Exposing the pains of severed relationships and unearthing the pursuits of love and purpose, Goldpine is cathartic, moody, dissonant and relevant, all intertwined into one.  

We’re excited to have Gordon Douglas back. He’s a comedian, pastor and founder of Operation Bellylaughs that provides comedy DVDs to our troops. He and his wife Dawn were named Pennsylvania’s Parents of the Year. And his first DryBar Comedy special is coming soon. This weekend, he has something different and very special to share with us for Christmas. Tune into "Huckabee" this weekend to find out what!

Gordon Logan is a Vietnam veteran; former C-130 pilot (trained in Jacksonville, AR)  and founded the largest franchise dedicated to men's and boys' haircare; and, besides his chairman and industry duties, he is dedicated to supporting service members as they transition to civilian careers. The primary way is through the VFW's "Sport Clips Haircuts Help A Hero" program he founded in 2007. It started out as a way to sponsor phone calls home for deployed and hospitalized military...born out of the time he spent standing in line to call home when he was overseas in active duty. 

Blind from birth, the Alabama native’s earliest recollections center around a love for music. By the age of three, he began playing piano, singing, and traveling with his family. As Gordon began to excel musically, he enjoyed academic success, as well. He became one of the first blind students in the country to mainstream into the public school system. Later, he received a full scholarship to Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL, then after three years transferred to Nashville’s famed Belmont University, where he graduated with honors.  Mote has also established himself as one of the most sought-after studio musicians in Nashville, whose piano artistry and producing abilities can be heard on recordings by the likes of Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Martina McBride, Bob Seger, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, Josh Turner, Darius Rucker, The Gaither Vocal Band, The Martins, Triumphant Quartet and Alison Krauss, just to name a few.

With 14 solo recordings to his credit, as well as 18 Academy of Country Music Award nominations,  two Grammy nominations, a Gospel Music Association Dove Award, and 30 years of touring, including 20 years as a solo artist, Gordon Mote continues to blaze new trails. As he releases his 15th solo recording and embarks on year number 21 in his full-time ministry, it is fairly safe to say that the multi-talented producer, singer, musician shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to choose to follow the direction of Christ, wherever He leads.

Jeff Landry’s love for Louisiana, and his passion for helping others is defined by his Louisiana roots. Jeff grew up in the small town of St. Martinville where his mother was a schoolteacher and his parents took him to church every day. Later, Jeff learned the value of hard work in the sugar cane fields and then proudly joined the National Guard, serving in Operation Desert Storm. After returning home, Jeff worked as a police officer and sheriff’s deputy, and later started a successful business and went to law school.
As a public servant, both as a U.S. Congressman and the Attorney General of Louisiana, Jeff Landry has shown strength and courage fighting for common sense values and bringing people together to deliver solutions.
On October 14, 2023 Jeff Landry was elected to become the 57th Governor of Louisiana in a historic primary victory. On January 8th, 2024, he assumed office.
As Governor, he will not be afraid to make the changes necessary to turn Louisiana around, deliver results, and fight for working families.
Jeff resides in Broussard, Louisiana with his wife, Sharon, and their son, JT.

After 24 years touring as an award-winning, platinum-selling, country music singer-songwriter, Smith chose to leave the music business to pursue a future in ministry. The "Like A River" summer tour in 2023 marked his last as he moves full throttle towards his faith. Honoring his late son, River, his first book Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache, was released on August 1, 2023.  Compelled by the call to ministry, Smith intends to serve his local church under the teaching, council and leadership of his pastor and elders while he continues work on a Master's degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, along with public speaking and authorship.   He has released ten studio albums, one live album, and two EPs. Granger has charted over eight singles on the Billboard country charts, including the number one hit "Backroad Song." He is a highly sought-after speaker, actor, author, and host of the nationally syndicated iHeartRadio show After Midnite with Granger Smith. In 2017 he started the Granger Smith Podcast, where he discusses matters of faith, family, music, and the outdoors, while spreading messages of integrity, honor, truth, and restoration grounded in a Christian worldview.
*Granger's social media following exceeds twelve million, with more than one billion online video views.
