Texas Homegrown Music with Maylee Thomas

Andy Timmons

This week's show is very special for me. My longtime friend and sometimes collaborator Andy Timmons Guitar will be my guest. Our friendship began more than three decades ago and I’ve watched his trajectory skyrocket over the years. He is a true music “ artist” who has toured with many of the world’s best musicians and is still going strong. My hubby will tell you he’s one the most gifted players in the world with melody and tone that’s unmatched. Don’t miss hearing this. From his early days of MTV fame to his recent trip to record at the famed Beatles Abby Road studio- this interview is chalked full of interesting memories.

Crow and Gazelle

My guests this week are debuting their first album “ As above so now below” and I believe they’ll be a household name for all of us who love folk music with lots of soul! With the incredible songwriting of Mike McClure and the authentically intentional lyrics of his wife Chrislyn Lawrence their collaborative voices will move you in a way that convinces you they’ve been doing this for a long time. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes them. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share their music with all of you listeners. It’s raw- and sobering - haunting and inviting. Don’t miss this one

Alex Lease

Alex Lease was on my show four years ago and now with more music and a slew of new tunes- ( several he sang in the studio for us) he’s certainly made a name for himself as a prolific songwriter. A new Dad with a daughter that has stolen his heart he brings to light the most important aspect of our existence through his music.

The Great Divide

This weeks interview with JJ Lester and Bryce Conway of The Great Divide gives you an inside look into why their band just won “Entertainer of the Year” at the Texas Country Music Awards and their single “Good side” single of the year 2023. They made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry this past July and an upcoming show at The Ryman Dec 13th just keeps them relevant after three decades of making musicSo much to reminisce about ( and there’s a bear hunt story on this one for Joshua Jones)

Jonathan Tyler

What a treat.. this weeks show with Jonathan Tyler will truly inspire you. One of those truly gifted people who’s heart and soul come through his guitar and lyrics in a way that leaves you feeling like you were at a camp meeting( for all you that know what I’m talking about). He breaks into a couple acoustic songs impromptu and reminded me of what it means when you’ve been given “the it”.
