Andrea Magee

Andrea Magee , my next guest holds a special place in my heart for SO many reasons. Her journey from her homeland of Belfast brought her here in 2014 to make a mark in Austin’s music scene, however that’s only the beginning. The founder of Music Helps connecting musicians with “ at- risk youth” and then the director of the “She Rises Fest ” that celebrates women in music and the arts, you can see how I’m completely enamored with her passionate soul. She’s also a part of the super group Paack with fellow female artists. Her newest album “Wild Women” is set to release May 2nd. Listen this week to find out why WE all need Andrea’s in our life.

Thanks to The Rook McKinney and The Guitar Sanctuary.

Alex Jude

Alex Jude ( formerly Alex Mabey) made her debut this past few months with a new name and new music, gleaning from her early releases of americana/christian music to a mainstream sound that is bringing her to festivals this year across the country. She’ll make her debut @TMRfest in June on the main stage in Historic Downtown McKinney on June 6th with more singles released between now and then. I heard her “Living to Learn “ song with a catchy chorus, “ so what if happens and what if it hurts, I’ve been through the worse, I’m livin’ to learn. (Sounds like a pep talk to yourself. ) she’s a precious soul that’s singing of her experience through heartache and a sense of humility & peace.
