Free Beer and Hot Wings Live at the Intersection

The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show will bring their annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition to the Intersection.

Free Beer and Hot Wings Show

The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show celebrates 20 years on Michigan airwaves at 979 GRD. That is a long time in radio to be at the same station for 20 years.

Gregg "Free Beer" Daniels and Chris "Hot Wings" Michels have worked together since college give or take a few years where they worked at different radio stations.

The cast of the Free Beer and Hot Wings Show has changed over the years but Producer Steve has been with the show for 16 years.

Kelly Cheese has been with the show since April 1, 2019, and what a wild first day. The company had received a cyber attack and the show went commercial-free that morning since there was nothing to fill the space. Now that's a heck of a first day on the job.

Maitlynn was an intern for the Free Beer and Hot Wings Show when I arrived in 2018 but after a couple of years, she moved on to Lansing as a morning show co-host. After a couple of years, she stepped away from radio only to rejoin the show a little over a year ago.

Free Beer and Hot Wings Show Live at The Intersection

The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show has grown for 20 years. The show is in nearly 50 markets but is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 9 years ago the show began doing its show live once a year the morning before Thanksgiving at the Intersection. The show has expanded to doing live morning shows in other markets around the country and doing non-radio shows called Live at Night.

The pre-Thanksgiving tradition will continue at the Intersection Wednesday at 6 a.m. on November 27th. Tickets will go on sale Friday, September 27th at 10 a.m. G.A. tickets are $25 but there are two options for VIP tickets. The VIP area has been extended to the first 4 rows in front of the stage but two new VIP areas have been added that include bartenders on the right and left elevated portions of the venue. Each VIP ticket includes early entry to the venue, a t-shirt (pick your size when purchasing your ticket), and an autographed poster. Alcohol will begin being served at 7 a.m. but barbeque from Sweet Racks & Smokin' Butts will be available for purchase when the doors open to help you build a base before having those drinks. Listen all this week to Free Beer and Hot Wings to win tickets.
