Jack Barksdale inspires me about the next generations of music made , and especially here in Texas. A 17 yr. old folk/Americana singer/songwriter Jack started performing original music at the age of nine and has already shared the stage with Wynonna Judd, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Junior Brown, John Fullbright, and Hayes . He’s definitely an “old soul” that paints his way into your mind with his prolific lyrics. He’s headlining the inaugural Renegade Revival Music Fest May 17th at the Georgetown Palace Theater. And proceeds benefit HAAM of Austin helping musicians with healthcare.   Listen this week to our interview and you too will be inspired by this young Troubadour.   Originally aired 05/04/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.
