We feature six new releases from Texas area artists that you should be adding to your station, show, playlists, and sharing across social media.
The Texas Six Pack was a feature we created in late 2018 for our Stone Cold Country radio show. Due to the incredible popularity of the segment, we’ve decided to roll it out as a stand alone podcast with new episodes on the 23rd of each month.
We like to lead off with a little news from the longhorn state. Bob Wills is still the king of western swing and every year on March 6th Oklahoma pays tribute to the legend. Who by the way is one of only 11 country artists in both The Country Music Hall of Fame and The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.
Well, this year, Texas will also pay tribute to Mr. Wills with festivities at the Texan in Athens. Tickets are $35.00, get them now. More info at TheTexanAthens.com/Shows.
And speaking of Texas music, did you know that the Texas music industry employed hundreds of thousands of Texans last year and generated more than $26 billion dollars? Wow, good job Texas!
Texas native Wade Bowen was in the area almost all of February. Hope y’all caught him. Join his text club to stay on top of all his stuff. Text “JOIN” to 855-749-1892 , and check out his latest album Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth.
