This episode of The Ranch Sitdown was filmed live at MusicFest with Texas country artist Slade Coulter. Slade performs acoustic versions of his songs and shares the stories behind them, including the emotional songwriting process that led to “Mr. Wrong.”

He talks about writing music with close friends, the collaborative culture of the Texas Red Dirt scene, and the pressure and pride that comes with being part of the West Texas songwriting legacy.

Slade also dives into life on the road, including the wild story behind writing his song “Lucky” after getting stranded on the side of the road during a tour run through Nebraska. From songwriting retreats and co-writing sessions to opening for massive crowds one night and playing intimate shows the next, Slade gives an honest look into the life of a rising Texas country artist.

Recorded in the mountains during MusicFest, this Sitdown captures the raw acoustic energy, humor, and storytelling that defines the Texas music scene.
