Episode Details

Max Geers, the self-proclaimed “river rat” from across the river, is set to open the Voices of America Country Music Festival this Thursday—sharing the stage with legends like Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton. His unlikely rise began when a TikTok video of him working on a farm went viral, catapulting him from local bar gigs to national spotlight. Despite crushing personal losses—including the death of his brother Jon just months after last year’s festival—Max keeps grinding, playing pubs across Cincinnati and chasing his dream. With ADHD fueling his nerves and excitement, he’s ready to seize this moment—and we’re all rooting for him to make it count.
