Episode 12 : "From Maytag to toe tag, son!" - Tuckerton Porchfest 2025 (with Amy Elizabeth & Chris Rockwell)

"If you build it, (they) will come." - The Guy from Yellowstone, I think... On May 31, 2025 the 2nd Annual Tuckerton Porchfest will take place from 11:00am - 3:00pm with a "scandalous" afterparty sure to knock your socks of starting at 4:00pm! Organizers and local artists Amy Elizabeth (aka Amy with the Pink Hair) and Chris Rockwell (aka Amy's "Partner in Crime... FOR NOW...") join host Vinny Marone for a special LIVE episode of the LOUD LOVE Podcast, telling the tale of how Tuckerton's Porchfest came to be, how a star-crossed meeting at a local coffee shop turned into a community-wide event, and how a little duck tape can make a good road trip into a GREAT road trip! All jokes aside, Amy & Chris make the listener feel right at home in Amy's living room. Their quippy one-liners "peppered in" to touching moments of vulnerability make the story of Tuckerton Porchfest both inspiring and well-worth listening to. If you're tuning in beforehand, make plans to visit Tuckerton, NJ on May 31, 2025 to see some fantastic local artists and do some shopping & sightseeing. If you're listening after, sit back and listen to masters of their craft give a lesson on how to breathe life into what was once but a dream.

Episode 3 : Randy Ballinger

On Episode 3 of the LOUD LOVE Podcast, we welcome a very special guest to the show as we bring you the incredible story of a truly inspiring individual in every sense of the word. And we just happen to be lucky enough to call him our friend. And his name is Mr. Randy Ballinger. Randy plays so many roles in life. He’s the bassist in one of our favorite bands ever, Jersey Calling. He is a Philadelphia fireman. And, most importantly, he’s an incredible father and role model to two lovely young ladies and the fiancé of another wonderful lady as well. As human beings, we go through this life meeting lots of different types of people. I’m sure many of you listening today know of some folks who may be… a “legend in their own mind”… or go out of their way to convince themselves and others of how important they are. Randy Ballinger is a real-life legend. A real-life hero and inspiration. The most mind-blowing part? He’s also one of the most humble and generous people you’d ever meet. We knew all of this before Randy’s recent accident – an accident that, by his own account- could have taken his life. The story you're about to listen to could have ben spun with a much different tone if things played out just a little differently on February 25th of 2023. But Randy is here and he has handled the aftermath of his injury with the utmost of dignity and grace. We welcome you to listen to the story of a life well-lived, of a recovery that is truly miraculous, and of a future that is all the brighter because RandyBallinger is in it. Welcome to the LOUD LOVE Podcast.
