This season on my podcast, Baring It All with Call Me Adam, I am spotlighting My Entertainment Idols.

Today I am speaking with musical sensations Bucky Heard & Tim D. Lee, who are part of the iconic musical duo, The Righteous Brothers, alongside original member Bill Medley.

Tim has recorded and toured with The Righteous Brothers for over 35 years & is the group's current Music Director & Tour Manager.

In 2016, Bucky joined The Righteous Brothers when original founding member Bill Medley reformed the group, choosing Bucky has his new singing partner.

In addition to being part of The Righteous Brothers, Bucky & Tim have now teamed up to write the music and lyrics to Mark Corallo & Eileen Nelson’s Off Broadway Musical, Mike & Mindy's Wild Weekend Jam.

In this interview, Bucky & Tim are Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:

• What it was like write the music & lyrics for Mike & Mindy's Wild Weekend Jam
• How the music & lyrics in this version of the show differ from previous incarnations
• What is something they both have "Lost That Loving Feeling For"
• When there has been a time a song has had an "Unchained Melody"
• So much more

In Mike & Mindy's Wild Weekend Jam, audiences will once again be transported into the spirited world of two dreamers—Mike and Mindy—as they juggle love, life, and a whole lot of family drama in their quest to make it big. Set in early ‘90s Brooklyn, the story follows high school sweethearts Mike and Mindy who, despite working as a plumber and hairdresser, have never let go of their dream of becoming music stars.

Their weekly “Wild Weekend Jams” are a chaotic mix of music, dancing, and eccentric relatives. But when word gets out that a top music producer might stop by, tensions rise—especially with Mindy’s old-school Italian father Don, whose disapproval threatens to tear it all apart. Will love, laughter, and music be enough to hold the night—and their future—together?

Mike & Mindy's Wild Weekend Jam will play the Mainstage at The Player's Theatre in NYC through July 20, 2025.
