Jesse Stratton Band is my interview this week. The talent pool in this band makes every show a festive experience for the whole family. In fact Jesse’s family is very much a part of it at any given time from his son playing drums to his girls singing harmonies. What a beautiful way to do life together.

It’s a big week for Texas Music.. and especially my hometown of Historic Downtown McKinney! My guest this week is Troy Paff - director, writer and producer of @TMRfest.com/documentary coming out on streaming the same day as our festival downtown McKinney June 5th and 6th

There are six outdoor stages and a plethora of red dirt, Americana, outlaw country blues and rock and soul gracing those stages.

However the big news here is the documentary to be seen ALL across the country. It sheds such a great light on our community and after making the tour with the film festival circuit, we saw firsthand the excitement it brought to the moviegoers to visit our hidden gem of a town.

Case Hardin is a traditional country artist who found his inspiration from years of the rodeo life. A native Texan, his very early success with American Idol gave him the confidence to jump out into the field of music dreams and a decade later he’s now garnered quite a respectable following. With a brand new single “On again tonight” he’s hitting the road and if you love the sounds of authentic Texas country - get to a show. You won’t be disappointed.

Addison Johnson came on my radar after playing a show with Courtney Patton here in Texas, so I snagged him for an interview on the road. He just released his single “Flames” which I love- and we’re debuting his next single “ What’s left of me” here first - and he starts his May tour of the same name. I dig his writing and you will too. I can’t wait to see him live back in Texas soon - but till then share his schedule with your friends on this tour across the country.

He’s not from Texas- but he tells me he try’s to get here as much as he can. ( must be about a girl )
