Emily Honors Army Husband Who Is Following In His Father’s Footsteps
Emily honors her Army husband who is following in his father’s footsteps for Military Monday this week. Aaron is her husband and he has been in the Army for seven years now.
Aaron joined the Army right after he went to college and they have lived Germany, Maryland and Florida all in the past year. With being this past weekend we asked Emily if that inspired Aaron to join and she said, “I think so, definitely.” Emily added, “And then just coming from a family where his father was also in the military and served for a long time, many tours, I think it just gave him the inspiration to do the same and honor the country.”
Emily honors her Army husband and we couldn’t be more thankful that she did. Congrats to Aaron as he is receiving a $100 Tampa Premium Outlets gift card and a $50 PDQ gift card.
Every Monday we honor a member of the military in Tampa Bay. Do you have someone in your life that is or has been in the military? Someone that you admire, a relative, a friend? Whoever it is that you want to spotlight. We want to hear from you and you can nominate someone right now by doing so HERE. The nomination process takes about five minutes. Once you nominate someone we will be in touch with you to schedule a call with you.
Top 5 Best Guitar Pull Moments
Top 5 Best Guitar Pull Moments. We hope you will join us this year for the QYK Guitar Pull. It is not only our favorite show of the year, but so many in the Tampa community have said the same thing. This is the 8th year we have done this show for you.
What Is A Guitar Pull
If you don’t know what a “guitar pull” is, it’s an intimate show where all of the artists are on stage at the same time. The artists will each play two songs, then a quick break and then two more songs. The show lasts around 3 hours long, depending on the artists themselves. Each artist stops down and talks about the song stories. Sometimes they just talk about other stuff, but the crowd is always entertained and laughing. You never know what they will say on stage at the QYK Guitar Pull, which makes it our favorite show of the year. The show sells out every year. It’s not a dance show, majority of people in the audience sit in their seats, a great date night actually.
This years show will once again be at The Mahaffey Theater in downtown St. Petersburg on Sunday November 12th! On stage this year is Scotty McCreery, and more! There will be 5 artists on stage this year. Stay tuned to find out who else will be joining the show each weekday morning at 8:20 the week of September 5th-8th.
Previous Artists On The QYK Guitar Pull Stage
It’s crazy to think about some of the big names that have been on our Guitar Pull stage in the past. Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, Kane Brown, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Chris Janson, Dustin Lynch, Charles Kelley, Big and Rich….and many more. Majority of the artists want to be apart of our guitar pull because we use this to give back to our community. Proceeds from the show help out the Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts.
So hard to pick out some of the most memorable moments, but here is our top 5
