JD Hinton

JD Hinton , actor, composer , radio host and all around cool dude is my guest this week. From Waco Texas to the California Coast - he’s got the stories that make for a great campfire scene and party couch. His latest “Don’t dig my grave yet” had me thinking if Ray Wylie Hubbard & Chris Rea had a son this would be the sound … and I LOVE them all. It’s a treasured reminder to keep looking ahead - however he also understands we need to be present in the moment and writes another single “Let’s Do Now”.

 

I’m grateful we crossed paths and hope to bring him home to Texas for a show soon. Till then , stream his music and listen to how music keeps evolving with him.

Helene Cronin

This week’s guest will take you on a music journey with her new release of 12 crafted songs about life that will surely pierce your soul. “ Maybe New Mexico” the title track speaks to me so personally since I have been traveling there for years to embrace a more laid back lifestyle and peaceful surroundings. Helene Cronin Music covers every day situations and puts YOU in their shoes. Her very personal “ Rifleman” shares her personal experience with a veteran and a couple of my favorites “ God stopped by” and “ Dear Life” are poetic genius.

Do yourself a favor and take this music with you from start to the last cut of “ Visitors” Oh, and did you know her song “ over missin’you” was just cut by Cody Johnson ?!
