Initially slated to play the new venue for six nights, he’ll now play nine, adding shows on Feb. 23, 25 and 26.

Taking a cue from George Strait’s “Carrying Your Love With Me,” Eddie Garcia from the Premiere Networks-distributed “The Bobby Bones Show” will walk from “West Virginia down to Tennessee” to benefit a national foster-care organization. An on-air discussion about Strait’s 1997 hit turned into a challenge for Garcia to make the walk. When Garcia committed to do it as a fundraiser for National Angels, setting a $10,000 goal, Bones and the crew kicked in more than $1,700 to get him started. By 11am ET Monday morning, the campaign had raised more than $19,000. The walking distance from southern West Virginia to northeastern Tennessee is approximately 75 miles.

  • Bobby Bones: the Cover Story
    (5.11.20) - https://www.soundslikenashville.com/featured/bobby-bones-cover-story/ Bobby Bones: The Cover Story WRITTEN BY CHRIS PARTON MAY 11, 2020 For funnyman media personality Bobby Bones – arguably the most popular host in country radio and the reigning ACM and CMA On-Air Personality of the Year – the COVID-19 pandemic has been anything but normal. Like many others, he and the cast of The Bobby Bones Show have been locked out of their workplace for over a month as they deal with a complete upheaval of their lives … but unlike the rest of us, he’s in a position to help brighten these dark times. “I’m lucky I get to work,” Bones tells Sounds Like Nashville, chatting by phone the morning after still more disorder – an overnight storm which downed power lines in his yard, killing power and forcing him back to the office for the first time since stay-at-home orders were given. “I’m trying to maintain a sense of normalcy so if people want to check in, even though it’s not normal, you can listen to the radio show and still feel normal. … I think my job is to be consistent in an inconsistent time.” But for a guy who’s also a rising TV star, a best-selling author, a successful touring musician and a dedicated philanthropist, consistency means trying new things. With that in mind, Bones has somehow found a way to launch yet another project – an internet-based gameshow fittingly titled Super Easy Trivia. Simultaneously one of the lowest low-budget gameshows in recent memory, and one of the most engaging, accessible and entertaining, it finds Bones doing his best makeshift-Bob Barker, taking over a Zoom chat with his shaky home-Internet connection and a handful of contestants to do just what its title suggests – answer super easy trivia questions.
