The Red Dirt pioneers, along with co-headliners Turnpike Troubadours, are bringing their Boys From Oklahoma showcase to McLane Stadium in Waco, on the campus of Baylor University, on August 23. Ragweed and Turnpike — who confirmed the details to Rolling Stone — will be joined by Shane Smith and the Saints, Wade Bowen, and American Aquarium for the concert.

After Ragweed sold out four reunion shows in Stillwater, Oklahoma, set for April 10 through 13, frontman Cody Canada tells Rs that the combination of band excitement...

Twenty years ago this month, the Randy Rogers Band released Rollercoaster, an 11-track album on the independent Smith Music Group label.

Within a year of the LP’s Aug. 24, 2004, release, the record had taken the band from a life of scraping by in Texas dive bars and underpaying opening-act slots to the pinnacle of the Texas music scene. Rogers has been there ever since.

Rogers founded his band in 2000 and already had a studio album to the group’s name — Like It Used to Be dropped in 2002. But Rollercoaster changed...

A Hanson-branded beer. A barbecue-and-country combination in the heart of food-crazed Chicago. Wade Bowen and Micky and the Motorcars in headlining spots. These are three selling points some organizers of country and roots-music festivals are pointing to this summer to showcase their events as the market flirts with saturation across the country.

In late May — before the high-profile cancellation of the Black Keys’ arena tour put ambitious booking and high ticket prices under scrutiny across the industry — a pair of major country-music festivals in California were called off. The...

Wade Bowen never stopped pouring his heart out in his songs. What’s different about him after 25-plus years of music is the amount of joy in those pours.

“We’re having so much fun playing music, we’re having so much fun writing songs and recording,” Bowen tells Rolling Stone. “I feel like we’re in this amazing groove right now, and I feel like we need to keep the pedal down.”

Bowen is talking about Flyin, his latest record, out now. But he is also talking about his world at the moment.

Keith Gattis, a Nashville songwriter, producer, and solo artist who had his songs recorded by Kenny Chesney and George Strait and who produced Randy Houser’s Americana pivot, Magnolia, has died at 52. A source close to Gattis confirmed his death on Sunday to Rolling Stone.

Gattis, a Texas native, began his career as a recording artist, releasing a self-titled debut album in 1996 via RCA Nashville. The song “Little Drops of My Heart” was issued as a single and peaked outside of the Top 40. Nearly a decade later, he independently dropped...

Before he was even out of his mid-20s, Parker McCollum had established himself as one of the preeminent artists on the Texas music circuit — the sort of singer-songwriter with a country twang who could sell out arenas and amphitheaters across the Lone Star State, was as “Red Dirt” as they come, and had done it all independently. But McCollum didn’t want that.

The baseball-cap-wearing singer-songwriter with a sensitive heart — he unabashedly declares his love for John Mayer and professes to be born to write sad country love songs...

Cody Jinks and Zz Top will headline the first Born & Raised Music Festival, a new concert and camping event set for September 17th through 19th in Pryor, Oklahoma, at the Pryor Creek Music Festival Grounds — known to metalheads as the home of Rocklahoma.

Billed as a “weekend of music and camping for the outlaw in all of us,” the lineup includes outlaw country artists, Americana singer-songwriters, and a heavy dose of Red Dirt bands. Blackberry Smoke, Lucinda Williams, Randy Rogers Band, Parker McCollum, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Jack Ingram,...

Willie Nelson’s annual 4th of July Picnic will go forward this year as a concert film that includes new livestream performances, along with interviews and archival footage from the Picnic’s nearly 50-year history.

Nelson will perform a set with his Family Band at Pedernales Studios, located near his Luck Ranch outside of Austin, while other artists will deliver songs from home. Margo Price, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real are among those performing.

The concert streams Saturday, July 4th, beginning at 4:30 p.

Collaboration is at the very heart of Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen’s partnership under the “Hold My Beer” name, refined over 15 years or so of live performances and expertly distilled on the friendly duo’s 2015 debut album. But there’s an entirely new type of collaboration on the Texas singer-songwriters’ Hold My Beer, Vol. 2 — one that stretches back across a generation of country-music history and includes the iconic voice of Waylon Jennings.

Midway through the album, released on Friday, “Ode to Ben Dorcy (Lovey’s Song)” gets underway with a scratchy acoustic guitar strum,...

This is the seventh installment of Rolling Stone’s Music in Crisis series, which looks at how people all across the music industry are coping with the coronavirus pandemic.

Randy Rogers left the stage at Terminal 5, the multitiered concert hall in west Manhattan, waving thank-you’s to the crowd’s calls for one more song. Rogers made his way out a side door and headed for a night on the town.

A day after that February 28th co-headlining gig at “Texas Independence Day,” the annual celebration of the Lone Star...

Wade Bowen chronicles his year from hell that was 2018 in a new short film called Inconsistent Chaos, which focuses on the Texas Country veteran’s forced singing sabbatical and the tragic loss of his cousin and stage manager.

Bowen was ramping up for a big year in 2018, which not only marked his 20th as a full-time performer but also the release of his Solid Ground LP. But, as the new 17-minute documentary explains, the 42-year-old singer’s world was turned upside down when recurrent blood in his vocal cords forced...

Veteran Texas performer Jack Ingram turns in a searing, six-minute cover of Guy Clark’s famed “Desperados Waiting for a Train” in a new video, filmed during tracking at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas. The song appears on Ingram’s 10th studio album Riding High…Again, which was released Friday.

Ingram had the opportunity to collaborate with late songwriting icon Clark on several occasions. Their friendship adds some heft to Ingram’s rendering of the story about the bond between a younger man and an “old school man of the world,...

Wade Bowen puts his fans front and center in the rowdy new music video for the stomping “Fell in Love on Whiskey.” And for good reason, too: After a forced hiatus last summer to recover from vocal surgery, the Texas country vet is grateful simply to be back on the road.

Directed by Jordan Thiem, “Fell in Love on Whiskey” was shot during an array of live performances, including ones at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas, and the Basement East in Nashville. Flashing between scenes of Bowen and his audience,...

Texas country mainstay Wade Bowen tips a proverbial hat to the great Guy Clark in his new single, “Death, Dyin’, and Deviled Eggs.” Channeling the songwriting legend’s knack for detailed, literary storytelling, Bowen’s track turns a funeral scene into something alive with everyday magic, a phenomenon captured in a new performance video.

Premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone Country, the clip was filmed for Bruce Robison’s Next Waltz label during an intimate acoustic set at this year’s MusicFest in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It finds Bowen – with a...

 In his new album Solid Ground, Wade Bowen wanted to focus on his Texan musical heritage. “I’m born and raised — I still live — in Texas,” Bowen told uInterview exclusively at SXSW in Austin. “Texas music is very influential in my life and always has been, obviously, because I’m around it living here, and so […]
