The Doc G Show July 15th 2026 (Featuring Ronnie Platt of Kansas)

Ronnie Platt has loved music for his entire life, and up until 2014 he was living a double life. He was driving a truck for the first 8 hours of the day and then he was lead singing in a band for the second 8 hours of the day. But then in 2014 something happened that completely changed his life, Steve Walsh retired from Kansas. All of a sudden the legendary band Kansas needed a new lead singer. The band that brought the world Carry On Wayward Son, Dust In the Wind, Point of No Return and so many other hits needed a singer. Ronnie took a chance and decided to Facebook message their guitarist, just a couple weeks later he was leading them out onstage in Oklahoma City. Ronnie has been leading Kansas now for more than a decade all across the country and rocking millions of fans along the way. He's also recorded two studio albums with Kansas since 2014. Kansas is back on the road and they're gonna be in Florida the 8th and 9th of August! Ronnie was nice enough to stop by the show and talk a while. Doc and Ronnie talk about getting out on the road in a bus with Kansas, first playing music, playing the trumpet, switching over to trombone, finding prog rock, loving rock singers like Lou Gramm and Geddy Lee, working as a truck driver, getting hired by Kansas, finding younger fans who love Kansas and much much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc gives the world a PSA, don't go to Singapore and think that you're going to get away with mischief...it's just a bad decision.
