Podcast: Play in new window | Download

So cowboys and city slickers, you should know a little bit more about what exactly Red Dirt and Texas Country means but what is so great about a concert in Texas on a Saturday night? The second episode of Lonestar Music Lowdown will dive deeper into what makes live music special here and how ordinary people get started playing at bars and honky tonks.

You’ll hear from Hayden Baker, and how his dream of playing baseball turned into a dream of playing shows. He’ll talk about how he writes songs and what inspires him. He’ll share his experience playing gigs across Texas and Oklahoma and what influences his sound and lyrics. A little later, we’ll talk specifically about his song “A Dream: The Baseball Song” and the how it tells his story.

Jodi Cockrell will be back for episode two, where she’ll tell us about how rewarding it is as a photographer to capture that perfect moment at a concert. She’ll also tell you why she thinks Red Dirt artists are getting noticed by Nashville record labels and how the live music scene has helped.
