King Calaway at Southern Roots Smokehouse – West Ashley
Tuesday, December 6, 2022

What a way to send off the inaugural season of 92.5 Kickin’ Country’s Nashville Hot concert series! King Calaway‘s perfect harmonies, positive vibes and string-shredding guitar solos wowed even those of us who’d seen them before, and fittingly end-capped a truly hot concert series! On Tuesday, Dec. 6, they took the stage and blew the doors off Southern Roots Smokehouse in West Ashley right away with “Like a Good Time,” then kept us rocking with their harmonic spin on favorites like Travis Tritt’s “Great Day to Be Alive” and feelin’ our feels with Morgan Wallen’s “Cover Me Up” and shouting along to catchy originals like “Driver’s Seat.”

Thanks to the Lowcountry’s own Eddie Bush for kickin’ off the party proper with his guitar-shredding rendition of “Somebody Like You” and putting us in a holiday mood with his original “I C Christmas.” And thanks to our great venue – Southern Roots Smokehouse in West Ashley – who provided the stage and kept the drinks and the good food comin’.

Nashville Hot will be back in the new year! We’re working on our 2023 lineup of hotter n’ hot Nashville artists now. So, watch this space for info on the next one – they sell out fast!

In the meantime, check out video and photo highlights of some of our favorite King Calaway moments below.
