Jenny Reynolds

Singer/ Songwriter Jenny Reynolds is my guest this week talking about her 5th album Willow and Stone. Her move to Austin in 2003 and Kerrville Folk festival finalist that same year set her up for immediate success. Her heart for philanthropy had me extremely interested in her talent and as soon as I heard the first note that voice grabbed me deep. Don’t miss this one. She’s a Texas treasure for sure.

In fact Jesse’s family is very much a part of it at any given time from his son playing drums to his girls singing harmonies. What a beautiful way to do life together.

Troy Paff talks about the Texas Music Revolution Documentary

It’s a big week for Texas Music.. and especially my hometown of Historic Downtown McKinney! My guest this week is Troy Paff - director, writer and producer of @TMRfest.com/documentary coming out on streaming the same day as our festival downtown McKinney June 5th and 6th

There are six outdoor stages and a plethora of red dirt, Americana, outlaw country blues and rock and soul gracing those stages.

However the big news here is the documentary to be seen ALL across the country. It sheds such a great light on our community and after making the tour with the film festival circuit, we saw firsthand the excitement it brought to the moviegoers to visit our hidden gem of a town.
