Birmingham Mountain Radio variety show coming to BJCC’s Forum Theater
Birmingham Mountain Radio’s Lochamy brothers will host a variety show with trivia, celebrity guests and live music at 7 p.m. July 30 at BJCC’s Forum Theater.
“Right You Are! With The Lochamy Brothers” will be a modern variety show, featuring a trivia game with help from Mental Floss and live musical guests, prizes and celebrity contestants. Audience members will be asked to participate from their seats – and sometimes from the stage – when their names are randomly called.
Will Lochamy, one of the hosts, described the show as being fun and interactive trivia not made for rocket scientists.
The show will be recorded and broadcast on Birmingham Mountain Radio and iTunes at a later date.
Will and Reed Lochamy of Oh Brother Radio will host the production and said they hope to develop it into a recurring show in the BJCC’s Forum Theater.
The Forum Theater at the BJCC was renovated and opened in September 2015 for performances meant for a more intimate setting. With 275 seats, the Forum Theater is in the Forum Building at the corner of 22nd Street and Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard.
“The facility is so nice,” Will Lochamy said. “It’s the perfect size.”
The Lochamy brothers previously held shows at different bars — not the most conducive environment for live broadcasts. He is thrilled to be able to hold this event in a quiet, controlled setting.
A portion of proceeds from the event will go to a different local charity each month, starting with Camp Smile-A-Mile. Their programs benefit many local pediatric oncology patients, survivors and their families. Lochamy looks forward to be able to give back to those who have affected him and his brother.
Between rounds, live musicians will perform. Singer Jackson Capps, who made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry at 12 years old, will be the inaugural musician. Capps has developed into a seasoned musician by adapting the sounds of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
“Our goal is to have a cool, fun thing for Birmingham,” Lochamy said. “We hope that people look forward to the show and travel into the city to come see it.”
