In this deeply emotional IN the Loop TV Show segment, host Renée Michelle Merrifield opens her heart to honor her dear friend Jim Irsay — the heartbeat of Indianapolis. She shares personal stories of touring the world with the Jim Irsay Band alongside music legends like John Mellencamp, Billy Gibbons, Vince Gill, Ann Wilson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. From sold-out stadiums to intimate moments of kindness, Renée reflects on Jim’s generosity, his dedication to mental health advocacy through Kicking the Stigma, and his passion for music history. The tribute also features behind-the-scenes moments from the Hollywood film Off the Record, in which Renée plays herself — a role made possible by Jim’s belief in her talent. This is more than a memorial — it’s a celebration of a man whose impact will resonate forever. 💙🏈🎸
