Born and raised just north of the Fort Worth stockyards, Reid Farris has always had country music running through his veins. It wasn’t until Reid moved off to San Marcos that he joined up with a few fellow Bobcats and began making a name for himself playing in bars from the San Marcos Square to the world-famous 6th Street in Austin. With powerful and truthful lyrics combined with smooth and versatile vocals Reid Farris is newcomer on the rise.

After playing with names like Zane Williams and Deryl Dodd, Reid has recently come back to the metroplex and is breaking through in the Fort Worth music scene collaborating with artists like the Brandon Steadman, Skylar Payne, and Ricky Russell. Currently working on his debut album, Reid Farris is here to stay and the future looks bright for this red dirt newcomer.

Robert Ray is an aspiring Texas Country Artist & Songwriter born and raised in the heart of South Texas, namely Alice, TX. He is currently working on numerous production projects and anxiously looking forward to future albums written from the heart. In creating the 'Dream of You' EP Album and newly released 'Run Away With You' Album, he wanted to stay true to his traditional country influence, as well as the incorporation of today's Texas Country sound.

Each song was hand-tailored to express its own individual mood and vibe. He is hoping the variety of songs will appeal to all genres alike. Although, each one happens to be his own personal favorite, he hopes you enjoy them as much as he enjoyed writing and singing them for you!

Thanks for checking out the 229th episode of The ETX ROCKS Show! With experiences in Nashville, Texas and even Europe our guest in this episode is no stranger to hard times and “Scars”. With influences that range from Elvis to Strait and all the way to the Outlaw movement in Country Music, Kaleb McIntire has taken an interesting road to achieving success with his music. That road has been filled with roadblocks and changes in life choices along the way, including not giving up on the music he truly believes in! With help from guitarist Bryant Hunter and producer Heath Owen (Son of legendary Alabama frontman Randy Owen), Kaleb McIntire is blazing a trail in Texas and beyond with his unique sound! We are extremely excited to introduce y’all to Kaleb McIntire for the first time on the show!

Landing hard after the success of his 2012 album SCARS, Kaleb fielded offers from several major labels. Unwilling to give up his vision for what his next record should be, he turned down offers and set out to blaze his own path in the country music business. To do so he had to step back, take time to develop his sound, and find the perfect team to bring his vision to reality. It wouldn’t be a quick process. It would take two years.

Teaming up with Texas guitarist Bryant Hunter the two started writing new music and developing a sound that was brand new and hauntingly familiar at the same time.
