Texas Homegrown Music with Maylee Thomas

Staudt Brothers

This weeks guest Staudt Brothers. Reminds me again why I love doing these shows. Stellar talent in Texas still to discover. Staudt Brothers, from Victoria perform elements of country, blues, folk rock and Americana. Isn’t that just called “ Texas” music?! When you throw in lyrical stories that talk about break ups, the hill country and honky-tonks you’ve got my ear. However there’s musical indulgence here that will bring a tear with no words needed. Caleb shares the journey that brought he and his brother onto the stage after watching their Dad croon through life. And we are all benefiting. Catch a show and start listening. It’s yet another group on the rise.. KHYI 95.3 The Range (OFFICIAL) thanks to The Guitar Sanctuary Burress Law PLLC Cadillac Pizza Pub.

Ri Wolf

Ri Wolf from Rī Wolf & The Prairie Hawks is my guest this week and what a stellar individual he is. And the band brings it.

 

After almost 14 years as a collegiate coach he’s now returned to full time music where his gift speaks for itself. I personally am grateful for his years of giving to the young athletes that I know he influenced in a positive way! Teachers don’t often get enough encouragement.

 

Now on to giving us who LOVE music his heartfelt desire to entertain us is apparent.

 

His single “ Easy on Me” is climbing the Texas charts and “ Blood Red River” continues to break records on Spotify.

 

Check out Ode to Larry McMurtry a song to accompany a new book release this month “Pastors of the empty page”.

Jaret Ray Reddick

Jaret Reddick is my next guest and what an incredibly talented dude! You’ve heard his music from Bowling For Soup but now he’s thrown some energy into country music and yes- he can tell a story just as well in this vein. It’s as authentic as any other country boy and just like his song with Uncle Kracker “ way more country “ he will satisfy anyone’s need for some beer drinkin’ foot stompin” line dancin’ entertainment. And the cherry on top is his infectious presence and quick wit. He even gets a little more personal as he shares about a new family discovery. It made me want to drop my headphones and drive over for a big hug… ( and I know he could give me one)

Do yourself a favor and make some time for this one..you’ll laugh and feel some emotions you didn’t expect. One of my new fav peeps. his new album JUST WOKE UP - grab it ..
