In this sunny and heartfelt episode of The Coffee Club, Janae and Ronnie brighten up your Thursday with stories of sunshine after the rain, Memorial Day tributes, vanilla pudding dreams, and a soul-stirring live performance from special guest and military musician Elijah O’Sullivan.
The crew discusses local events, flood warnings, and the bittersweet updates on summer camping closures in Ashtabula. Elijah opens up about balancing military life and fatherhood while prepping a new album, and delivers a powerful live rendition of “If You’re Reading This” that left the studio in tears.
You'll also hear about the songs that almost never made it big (spoiler: “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Baby One More Time” were almost trashed!), plus some lighthearted debates on stick shifts, lawnmower mishaps, and why there's still a shampoo bottle with instructions.
☕ A perfect blend of local charm, patriotism, humor, and good vibes. Guests include Elijah O' Sullivan and Christine Conrad.
