Fox 35 morning meteorologist Jim Van Fleet's second career is really taking off. He's already established himself as one on the top morning TV guys in Orlando, and now he's taking on the music world.

Van Fleet and his band, the Reign, have been playing local venues and in the past year have opened for national country music stars such as Gretchen Wilson, Chris Cagle, Joe Nichols, Darryl Worley, Mark Chesnutt, Aaron Tippin, Andy Griggs, and Emerson Drive. The band is also the 2005 Central Florida "Country Battle of the Bands" Champion.

And during the past week, Jim Van Fleet and the Reign (great name for a weather guy's band, huh?) were tearing up the competition during the daily "showdown" between artists on K92FM. But if you haven't caught Van Fleet's band in person or on the radio, you can own their CD. They have a site on CD Baby where you can order.
