Texas Music Lifestyle

Howdy folks! Weldon Henson and my buddy Eric Sims here. Today we've got a great episode for y'all, we have Rocky Reyna, a local Austin musician and dance hall extraordinaire joining us. We feel like we see him just about everywhere around here, so it's a pleasure finally getting to chat with him and hear his story. He really is a piece of the Texas Music Lifestyle around here. My newest album Stone Cold Country Gold just dropped over the weekend and I'm fixing' to fly off to Brazil for a music festival with Jesse Daniel here soon, so Eric will have to find a new co-host for a couple of weeks. But I'll be back to do some more old man bitchin' before you miss me too much. Stay tuned for the next episode!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everybody! It's your host Weldon Henson celebrating with my buddy Eric Sims. We whipped up some margaritas and got us some chips and salsa for this episode to really get in the spirit. I'd say this episode is probably 80% about Mexican food restaurants, which as we have found out, is a pretty passionate topic for the both of us. I've also got my new single "Stone Cold Country Gold" out now, and we have a new segment on the show called "old Man B*tchin". I think a lot of y'all will be able to relate to that one. It's a b*tch gettin' old. A quick announcement, if you watch the show on YouTube, we will be moving the show to its very own YouTube channel, aptly named Texas Music Lifestyle. That move will be happening this week, so make sure to follow on social media to know where to find us. Adios, amigos! Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience

This time we have a near and dear to me guest from my very own band: Kevin Lance. Kevin has been my drummer since 2020. We've been playing onstage for years but it's hard to find time to chat offstage. Some of these stories are ones I've never even heard before! Kevin is a fantastic drummer and has had one hell of a career. Thank you so much to our new sponsors, Panhandle Slim and Rock & Roll Denim. We are so excited to partner with y'all and are so honored to be a piece of your Texas story. Tune in next week!

Howdy folks! Weldon Henson here with my co-host Eric Sims. Today we have someone who is just getting started on their music journey. Of course it's fun talking with veterans of the Honky Tonk cycle, but there's something special about talking to a guy who's just beginning. Our guest today is Vaughan Segers, a 20 year old who has a bright future ahead of him. He's got a great voice and a good head on his shoulders. We're excited to see  what he gets up to! We'll have to have him back on in a couple years to check in and hear how it's going. Some special announcements, I have a single from my new album coming out on April 15th. It's a very special song to me, it's called "Lost in Time". The music video will be dropping the same day so stay tuned for that. My full album "Stone Cold Country Gold" will be coming out on May 31st. Until next week!Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience

Howdy folks! Weldon Henson here. Do we have a great episode for you today. We had our friend Tanner Burch join us in the shop to talk about what it's like playing music up in Nashville versus down here in Austin and what the music scene is like up there. You'd be surprised at how different it is! Tanner has a varied background, he actually started as a football player and went All American twice before having to quit due to some pretty serious injuries. That left Tanner feeling lost and he had to reinvent his whole identity. Any of us who have had to restart our career know how that feels. That's when he leaned into music and song writing and found his next passion. We're sorry it had to happen that way, but oh so glad that Tanner is gracing Honky Tonks all over with his music. Please make sure to go listen to Tanner Burch's music, and follow him on social media. He's a great guy and an awesome musician. Thank you to Stephen Castillo of The Western Express for jumping in to co-host with me while Eric Sims is out on business. We appreciated having you in the shop again and would love to have you back in anytime! Until next week! Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience

Hey folks! This episode we have guest Stephen Castillo of The Western Express in the shop with us. He's a local Austin music guy who have beaten the pavement and made his way in the music world. we got to talking about what its like when you're just starting out, playing to a crowd of 1-2 people, no band, no hype, and nothing but a couple dollars in your wallet. It's not a journey for everyone, but for those of us who LOVE music, there isn't any other way we'd have it. The three of us also got to talking about Motley Crue, The Ramones, George Strait, Garth Brooks, and other music influences we've had in our lives. Go follow The Western Express on social, listen to their music on Spotify or Apple Music, and don't forget to follow us here on this channel for more episodes of Texas Music Lifestyle. See you next week! Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience

Howdy folks! You know what part of the music industry is crucial, but doesn't get talked about as often? Merch! Everybody loves a good band t-shirt, but as a musician, merch can be a huge pain in the behind. But it can also be a saving grace when monthly streams are down and the rent is still due. So this episode, Eric and I brought on Kenny Furr of the local merchandising company "El Famoso". It's a good little peek into a more business side of the music business. Phoebe, our producer, would also like to apologize for the mishap in the middle. She may or may not have forgotten to check the memory before we got started. She knows better now. Until next week!Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience

Howdy folks! This episode, we've got some friends up all the way from Brazil. A lot of folks might not know, but country music is alive and well in South America! In fact, when we go down to Brazil to play it feels just like home. Tune in as we talk with with the members of Bastardos Country Rock and see how they are enjoying their time in Texas. After we wrapped up filming, the guys headed over to Cavender's to get some real Texas outfits to perform in at The Broken Spoke. Hoo-wee! Doesn't get more Texas than that. Go check out my new single "Two-Steppin' Tuesdays" out now in honor of my 15 Year Anniversary at The Broken Spoke.Follow us on Social Media: IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasmusiclifestyle/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@thecowboyexperience
