Shinedown | Rock 30 Guest Co-Host | June 13-14, 2026
For the 23rd time in Rock 30 history, Brent Smith returns as guest co-host, continuing one of the longest-running artist relationships in the show’s history. Fresh off the release of Shinedown’s new album EI8HT and the band’s recent Austin stop on the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour, Brent joins LA Lloyd for a conversation that goes far beyond the music. From the connection fans have with songs throughout different chapters of their lives to the responsibility that comes with creating music that stands the test of time, Brent reflects on the journey that continues to fuel Shinedown more than two decades into their career.
Family
Some of the most memorable moments of the interview center on family. Brent talks about taking a brief break from the tour to travel to Florida and watch his son Lyric graduate, describing it as one of the proudest moments of his life. The conversation also explores life as a self-described permanent nomad, balancing life on the road with family, and the perspective that comes from appreciating every opportunity while remaining grounded in what matters most.
The REAL Brent Smith
The interview closes with an honest discussion about personal growth, gratitude, and perspective. Brent opens up about overcoming fear, maintaining physical and mental discipline, and how his outlook on life has evolved over the years. While Shinedown continues to reach new heights, Brent remains focused on the simple things: family, purpose, friendship, and making every day count. It’s a powerful reminder that some of life’s greatest victories happen far away from the spotlight.
