Patriots Inside The Wire

Tonight, Tracy 2Step and Emily Perkins welcome two powerhouse artists who are shaping the next wave of modern country and heartfelt songwriting:  TUCKER HART — A rising Texas artist whose soulful vocals and storytelling carry grit, truth, and heart. Tucker brings an authentic blend of southern rock, country, and Americana, creating songs that stick with you long after the last note fades.  GABE CHOATE — Known as one of the closest friends of the 2Step Tribe family, Gabe brings his signature sound and raw honesty to every performance. His lyrics hit deep, his melodies move hearts, and his message fits right in with what the Tribe stands for — truth, unity, and the beat that never stops. Together, they’re lighting up the Tribe Tracks stage with real stories, real sound, and real connection.

Tomorrow night on Patriots Inside The Wire, hosts Tracy 2Step La Porte (Gold Star Mom) and Lori Egerter (Blue Star Mom) bring you another powerful installment of the Wednesday Warriors – Storyteller Series, presented by The Tree of Valor, where America heals from telling her story. Our featured guest, Ed Stefanek Jr., is a proud U.S. Army Veteran (1998 – 2007) who served in Bosnia ’99-’00 and Iraq ’03-’04 as an 11C Mortarman. A Bronze Star Recipient and Assistant Director of Membership for the VFW, Ed embodies the grit, brotherhood, and leadership that define America’s warriors—on and off the battlefield. Together, we’ll talk about his years of service, his mission to advocate for veterans through the VFW, and the deeper meaning of continuing to serve long after the uniform comes off.

It’s a DOUBLE HIT night on 2Step Tribe — bringing the Nashville sound and Texas truth together!  Cowboy Calvin (Nashville) and The Songwriter light up this exclusive prerecorded episode, filled with real stories, real music, and the heartbeat of the independent scene. Big artists. Big changes. Real talk. Real tribe.
