Sterling is taking care of personal business today, and there was no guest artist scheduled, so The Reverend flies solo and spins tracks from a number of artists who are playing locally in the near future. The Reverend also takes a few minutes to pay tribute to Arley Blankenship of Wimberley's Volunteer Fire Ants, who passed away last week.

Artists played on this episode of HWY 261 included The Doors, Nathan Hamilton, Bri Bagwell, Volunteer Fire Ants, Dallas Burrow, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Lynn Crossett, Lyle Lovett, David Beck, ZZ Top, Steve Earle, and King's X.
