George Ducas

George Ducas is my guest this week on the heels of his new album release “ A Long Way From Home”. This native Texan singer songwriter has been making us proud with his countless songs recorded by Garth Brooks, The Chicks , Randy Rogers & George Jones to name a few , and has earned top spots in CMT videos and a Grammy nomination. This record culminates the best of his writing a singing and there’s several favs of mine - however the top spot is “drifter” with his line misfit hippie ( I can totally relate) .

Calder Allen

Calder Allen , this 5th generation Texan and grandson of Austin folk singer Terry Allen is my guest this week. His band graced our stage at Texas Music Revolution with some tunes off his latest release Dreamers Drifters and Hiders produced by Charlie Sexton, and gained a lot of new fans. He’s opening for Red Clay Strays at Billy Bobs and in San Antonio this month and will for sure slay those peeps with his unique baritone voice and picturesque lyrics. This 21 year old artist has forged his own way into a style of Texas music that covers all genres from red dirt to Americana.
