  • Nothing like combining a few of my favorites together…music, classic cars, and golf. Had way too much fun teaming up with Charles Schwab to cover and make a video of Jerry Reed’s massive hit East Bound and Down. We even had Jerry’s grandson playing drums!
    We chose this nostalgic song to celebrate the prize that will be awarded to this year's Charles Schwab Challenge winner - a '79 Schwab Firebird - built to honor the year that Schwab went all-in on technology.
    The Charles Schwab Challenge is the longest-running event on The PGA TOUR to be played in the same location. It is played at Colonial Country Club in Texas every Memorial Day weekend.
