Brotherhood Designs, Fishers Firefighters and Top Five Country Cover Songs

Join host Josh Cecil, co-host Tyler Mechem and Producer Chris for the HamCo Live Hot Ticket podcast, your guide to the Hamilton County live music scene. The show is part of the Get In podcast network. In this episode, Fishers Fire Department firefighters Rob and Scott join the studio to discuss their nonprofit organization, Brotherhood Designs. The duo shares how they transform retired fire hoses into patriotic flags, a mission that has placed their artwork in famous Nashville bars like Tootsies Orchid Lounge and raised funds for the families of fallen and critically injured first responders. The guests preview the upcoming Heroes and Healing Music Festival at Federal Hill in Noblesville. The July 16 ticketed event features performances by Clayton Anderson, Gary Burke III, Mike Riley and the Show Ponies, and Billy and the Tall Boys. The festival honors Corey Comperatore, a Pennsylvania volunteer firefighter who was killed at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. His widow, Helen Comperatore, will serve as an ambassador and guest speaker. The hosts also recap their weekends, featuring Tyler's family trip to Holiday World, Rob's anniversary visit to the Dayton Air Show and Josh pouring beer at Bier Brewery. During the weekly top five segment, the group debates the best country songs to hear a cover band play. The finalized list features timeless tracks by George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Garth Brooks and the Zac Brown Band. Listeners can test their music knowledge with a 1990s country music trivia question about Shania Twain, brought to you by Rudy's Recycle Shop in Cicero. Planning your weekend? The podcast previews the upcoming police and fire sled hockey grudge match at the Fuel Tank to support Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana adaptive sports.
