Jason and Matt preview their special homecoming performance in Peoria on Friday, September 25 at the 3300 Event Center, where the Lowe Brothers will open for The 615 Collective. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show beginning at 7 p.m. The brothers reflect on what it means to return home for the performance and share an encouraging message about continuing to chase your passions and never giving up on your dreams.
