Big Love Car Wash

New music from Molly Healey, a hard-hat tour of the Springfield Art Museum renovations, and Americana sounds from Austin, Texas at the Shoe Tree Listening Room. Plus, Studio Live! Soundcheck with Cold Water Kills and part two of our Ozark Mountain Daredevils feature.

Jimmy Rea is a proud Ozarkian with deep ties to the music community. With 2 decades of creative entrepreneurship underfoot, Jimmy has toured coast to coast and around the world with acoustic acts The HillBenders and Keller Williams. Spearheading numerous musical groups, recording projects, and live music events, Rea’s work in the Springfield music scene is a passion and lifestyle. Happily married to wife Melissa and father to Archie, they enjoy life together with 2 dogs and a cat. In his downtime you can find Jimmy fishing for bass in the crisp rivers, creeks, and streams of the Ozarks.<br/>
